Has anyone tried AI with PICBASIC

[Ioannis]

When manual says byte sized variables, it is implied 8 bits I guess.

So this IC can't be used with PBP ?

[Ioannis]

I cannot see how one can send only 7 bits when the integrated command is set to send 8 bits...

I think you have to make your own routine, maybe in assembly.

or convert the 7 bit address to an 8 bit address as i have explained multiple times in other posts

just spotted this gem on the arduino forum

you need to know better than the AI in order to know that the solution offered by the AI is wrong

[Ioannis]

It makes perfectly sense!

One cannot blindly trust the machine. The replies depend very much on the prompt anyway. So, if you do not how to ask or what to ask, then you cannot expect magic to happen, right?

I would say, that for relatively simple coding routines, PBP knowledge of AI had been improved, but just when you ask something more complex, you'll get this:

can you create picbasic pro code which will draw a circle on a LCD screen, which uses ST7920 controller?

(I'm omitting some DEFINE's and other non-relevant stuff)

' Initialize LCDLCDINIT' Main program loopMain:    ' Clear display    LCDOUT $01    ' Set cursor to home    LCDOUT $02    ' Set display to graphics mode    LCDOUT $3F    ' Set start line to 0    LCDOUT $40    ' Set display start line    LCDOUT $C0    ' Draw circle    CIRCLE 64, 32, 20
