NCO Calculator

[Ioannis]

Isn't easier all these calculation done in a Excel file?

Thoughts I never thought. There are 2 modes for NCO, toggle (the one used) and a pulse-out, which yields 2X the frequency output of toggle mode. I had thought of possibly adding calculations for pulse-out mode.

A spreadsheet is easier to make but I don't think it's easier to use. Mike's stand-alone app' is a seriously cool accomplishment. Personally, I'd rather use a small stand-alone app' instead of a spreadsheet.

Many years ago I built an SPBRG Calculator spreadsheet followed by an SPBRG Calculator app' written in JustBASIC. I much prefer using the app'.

Cheerful regards, Mike, K8LH

if only pbp was still being kept relevant, all these things and more are built into mplabx and easy to use

I forced myself to work with MPLABX over the past few days. I needed a combination of features only found in the PIC16F18426, which is too new for PBP3. I'm building the software in ASM using MPLABX. I like the Debug feature. As I'm not that familiar with ASM, the Debug showed me where I got stuck in an endless loop and helped me catch a few other problems in my code. It's taking me about 10X longer in ASM than it would in PBP3, but I'm learning a bunch through the experience.

You are a herο! Two times, for ASM and MPLABX!

I started using PIC with plain ASM coding but never go back again.

Anyone know if mpgmike ever fixed the errors and updated his nco calculator app'?

[mpgmike]

No, I didn't.
