I see no demos for serial com except in the help. Search nothing of this family. Partly solved. First the pps program does not have RX1 and RX2. It does have RX but RXpps does not exist. default is RX1 on RB5 so did leave the bad line out and that worked. additionally I tried just adding the 1 to RX1PPS and that worked too. Second , after reading the pdf for PIC16F17xxx it needs some bits set . CREN = 1 SYNC =0 SPEN =1 This is the test program #chip 16F17145, 8 #option explicit // PIC PPS Tool version:...

This is a back burner project. I have a limited supply of 18F26K80 ( need 12 bit analog and dual usart). So I thought I would try a newer chip and selected 16F17145. When I first got them I was also trying to get the timer1 external clock osc xtal to work and i noticed the uart Xmit works just fine but the receive would not receive my commands. The program was working fine on the 18F26K80. I did some troubleshooting and modified the usart.h file ( usart.h has certained gained a lot of weight since...

I have been trying to work with a new chip to me, PIC16F17145. Previously we had gotten 18F26K80 to work but my supply of them is limited and they cost a lot more. Setting up timer 1 for interrupt to feed the RTC subroutine. It looks like in the chip data there is not enough options for clocks for Timer 1. See attached So to work around, I go directly to setting up the SOSC and selecting the right clock. SOSCPWR=1 SOSCEN=1 ..... wait 500 ms 'Interrupt Handlers 'InitTimer1 ExtOsc, PS1_1 'T1CLK = 0x07...

i think what you need is <#define USART_BLOCKING/> Also the the string is can only be up to 40 bytes unless dim ed other.

I am still using windows 7 so I guess my default is SynWrite. I actually like SynWrite better than GCCode but was able to use GCCode after I found some of the hidden stuff. Life has dealt me health blow so I can not commit to helping at this time. Maybe later. Mike

actually config / init gives it 0x88 and then the starttimer1 adds the '1' giving 0x89 where is "high power"? I need to check that.

I am using the 18F26K80 because it has a 12bit A/D and i have a tube full of them. I have been using the internal clock to run the RTC for data logging but it runs a little off. My hardware runs with a 16F886 plugged in on the external osc on T1 just fine. But when I try to use the 18F26K80 it bawks!

GC, using a ttl-USB converter and a terminal program in your development PC , you could test the two modules separately. many times ,trouble shooting, "divide and conquer" , tells where the problem is. This would show more than a oscilloscope, It could send and receive the messages. Having fun! Mike

GC With USART_BLOCKING and using the the getstring routine you should be able to sync on the char 13 (return) of the getstring routine. Anobium is right that you will not get all the messages because you are sending them faster than you are processing them . sending at 3 sec per cycle and receiving at 4 sec per cycle ( yes the messages take small amount of time). Even with a receive buffer you will overflow and you will need to parse the buffer to find the beginning and ends of the messages. I am...
-
GC The documentation is at https://gcbasic.sourceforge.io/help/_hsergetstring.html Looks like it wants USART_BLOCKING so it can wait for the chars of the string and the return char 13 to end the string The example is in the help GL 73 Mike

Looks good! Works good! Now I am back on track making a data logger for radio astronomy. Thanks for all your time! I don't know how you do it concentrating on one thing GCB. It is a good project and you recently have new interest. BR Mike

Anobium, I think this is still not quite right? Extra stuff not needed. #ifdef Var(RCREG2) 'Get a byte from register, if interrupt flag is valid If USART2HasData Then #IFDEF var(RCREG2) Then SerData = RCREG2 #ELSE SerData = RC2REG #ENDIF End if #endif Back in lines 2071-2086 you did RC2REG so why is it here again and actually will never be executed because the #ELSE won't exist if RCREG2 don't exist. I know this is confusing, moving the 2 around.
-
Found the error in the current usart.h file Line 2100 #ifdef Var(RCREG2) Logic is wrong . Never gets to the else statement I broke it up to 2 if statements It works now

Just be aware CH376S_V3_17.gcb fails with the newest usart.h . It compiles, loads and locks up after first terminal entry on usart2. I tried an older usart.h and it runs fine. i am investigating.

Angel and Anobium, That is what i saw before. My include files were not destroyed nor modified. I must have shutdown the laptop during the update. I only lost a few libraries and they were the latest versions. My bad for not putting copies back into the project directory or a backup directory. Thanks for all your good work! gcbasic is working fine after the reinstall. BR Mike w9ys

Good news. I download the package and did the complete install. Now things are working! It compiles and gives me info. Some of my files are missing but the standard include files are all there. An update went awry and had me in a panic. Thanks Evan 73 Mike w9ys

this looks like Verbose is checked.

Here is the include. I added the 18B20.h to it and i still am not sure if it compiled? It says it did but I can't load it into the controller. Where are my include files? They all went away. i was using this at the end of June and it was working great.

I admit I have not been using the GCBasic for a couple months but the include files/ .h files dissappeared along with my created .h files. What happened? Also when I compile the information of the compile, especially the size of the program is missing. Windows 7 using synwrite Build 1.01.00 2023-09-30 Windows 64 bit Build 1289

Romtek The i2ceeprom.h library file is at "C:\GCstudio\GreatCowBASIC\include" There is methods for writing and reading bytes or strings and for small eeproms with byte addresses and larger eeproms with word addresses. Yours is 32K so you need word addr. The difference between strings and arrays is the string has the first location , mystring(0), as the length of the string. So by convention mystring (1) is the first byte that you can use. When treating it as an array you can write to mystring(0)....

I have started to do an implementation of PID a couple times but recently I needed it for my project and more web searching brought me across the Brett Beauregard in depth explanation and generic code. I am not new to PID, I have programmed and tuned hundreds of PID loops for process industry but it was on Honeywell controllers or a DCS system, Brett's code was easy to implement in GCB EXCEPT no floats. error can be + or - and after multiplying the error times the kp constant it could exceed the...

Anobium , You are very optimistic! I think we need the beer before we start! AWK is not a one of my languages. I kind of understand how it works but there is a lot of hidden stuff. When I convert .ino's and .lib's ,I usually use a editor and do search and replace OR search and destroy. 'void's and 'bool' are usually sub or function starts. Serial.print is replaced with HSerPrint Also in HSerIn we need it buffered without additional setup, uses a define to turn off for smaller chips If's need the...

Great Cow BASIC (0.99.01 2022-01-27 (Linux 64 bit) : Build 1073) That's what was on the PC next to my chair watching nothing on TV. I was thinking how hard it would be to build a converter to change code from arduino to GCB. Basil needed some inspiration, so i wrote those few lines of code thinking what it would take. Maybe ChatGPT could do it? It was too busy to let me in yesterday.

It was late. I did not finish the initialization. I do not have that chip to test but the pdf says it comes up in "standby".

hi Basil

I don't think it is recognizing the condition you are trying to create. Do [{While | Until} condition] loop Do While High PORTA.4 Loop I think you need to form the condiont using an '=' sign. Do while PortA.4 = High Or Do while PortA.4 = 1 I personally prefer the second one because it says what you are looking for. Where as 'high' is defined as 1 but as you change languages it may not be defined or be a keyword.

I have been using GCStudio for months now and yes there is some learning but It works good. I agree, it got too bloated lately and if i let it update at the beginning, then my limited bandwidth would shut it down. So I use the 'X' and don't update. Maybe only update occasionally. Microchip has thrown gobs of chips at us that we probably don't use. But maybe we find a new one that we like instead of "old faithful" chip. Anobium has lead the way to the future of GCB.

Brian, I am not sure what you are not understanding because you have said all that is important. "My servos are 500~2500usec" To send the servo to the most ccw position you would send it 500 usec pulses Tosend it to the middle position you would send it 1500 us pulses to send it to max position send it 2500 us pulses. Some people say you have to continue sending pulses to stay in your set position But I have found you only need to send pulses of your set size until the servo settles in that position...

I have been working on a PID control solution using an old 16F886. It will control the temperature chamber where my amplifiers and receivers for radio astronomy are located.

Console <-> Terminal Potato < - > Potatoe Pickle <-> cucumber what's an app? gcbasic is a compiler program that has switches and runs when called by you in terminal or by a script which are included in the install. gcbasic installs in /opt/GCBASIC directory stop sending windows screenshots because you are working on the terminal Remember you are working in Terminal. use your now learned terminal commands and get in the correct directory send terminal screenshot of : sudo ./install.sh install M

and that is the directory where you executed from? GCB@Syn/GreatCowBASIC/sources/linuxbuild/ sudo ./install.sh install did it give any errors? Where did bash come from? Your working from the console not bash.

Stan, Your close! hould the folder in GCB@Syn be GreatCowBASIC or GreatCowBasic please? Your right on your machine it is lower case. GreatCowBasic gcbasic compiled! Now you need the next instruction. otct: sudo ./install.sh install This makes the install, makes it executable from anywhere, any directory but from the console. finally we are back to what you were trying. sudo is super user which allows you to dig around below the "home" directory. otct: gcbasic you shoud get (base) mmotte@mmotte-OptiPlex-990:/$...

stan, If gcbasic was installed then it would run from anywhere. If I am going to help you Then you will need to use the console. Simple as that. First let us see if you have FBC working. on the console type: fbc -version What do you get? should be something like : (base) mmotte@mmotte-OptiPlex-990:~/GreatCowBASIC/sources$ fbc -version FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 1.07.1 (2019-09-27), built for linux-x86_64 (64bit) Copyright (C) 2004-2019 The FreeBASIC development team.

Brian, I installed GCB in ubuntu mint 1804 after xmas a Dell tower PC version says : Version: 0.99.01 2022-01-27 (Linux 64 bit) : Build 1073 My FBC is older than yours: FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 1.07.1 (2019-09-27), built for linux-x86_64 (64bit) Copyright (C) 2004-2019 The FreeBASIC development team. gcbasic installs in /opt/GCBASIC directory I updated the instructions to install in Linux earlier this year and those are the instructions you are following. Thankyou for copying the command line...

Manuel, Happy you got it going! I was looking for the problem. Thanks for the program. i have as5600 chips coming on Thursday. Going to make dish antenna position sensors with them. 73 Mike

where do you download the new IDE?
-
look in the demo files under spi_solutions. ie. \GreatCowBasic\Demos\spi_solutions\avr_spi_examples Also when asking questions please specify the processor and your version of GCB.

Pekka, Welcome to Great Cow Basic! At the moment GCB does not support "single" or decimal values. It does use bit, byte, word, integer, and long. Decimals are under development right now. "HSerPrint 13" should be "HSerSend 13" because you are trying to give a CR. HSerPrint is overload to each of the variable types. So if you feed it a string, it will print a string. If you feed it a long , it will print the long. etc. If you need a hex then use "hex(AB)" to change it to string. Also "USART_BLOCKING"...

Keith, Most garage door remotes I have been associated with are only "one button" , one output. push it to go up when it is down. push it to close when it is open. Yours has an up button and down button. So does your wifi receiver have two relays? If it does then you would not even need a PIC to arbitrate and give an output. the relays could be wired as OR logic and you would be done. Best Regards Mike

How about something like this ProgLedGrn = 0 ProgLedRed = 0 Main: Do forever If RemoteUp =1 Then open_door Wait 500 ms ' this wait may not be needed and is only for not retriggering the sub ElseIf RemoteDown = 1 Then close-door Wait 500 ms ' this wait may not be needed and is only for not retriggering the sub ElseIf WiFi_Input1 = 1 And Old_WIFI = 0 Then ' You realy only need one of the WIFI inputs because they are always opposite Old_WIFI = 1 open_door ElseIf WiFi_Input1 = 0 And Old_WIFI = 1 Then...

Jay, GCB runs fine on Linux. I have installed it a few time but always with a few gotcha's. First the help file is here: http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/help/_overview_linux_operating_system.html 1st secret: After downloading you will need a password to "unRAR" it. the pass word is on the download page of GCB. 2cd secret: Be in the correct directory before running the install.sh script. I don't know if it is always but I had to run the install twice, once to build and once to install? The gcb IDE...

Angel, Very nice code. Well commented, thank you. I don't know much about CAN_BUS but this this library makes it a useful tool and you don't need to know much. I understand that CAN is used in cars(and motorcylces?) and industrial control. I have worked on an Old Dynapath (late 1990's)CNC controller that used CAN for the I/O bus. At that time I was wondering how to explore the CAN_bus never pursued it. You have given the ability to log it here. So you are using an external bus controller and level...

Certainly the first example of need is when I was working on the BME280 sensor in 2018-19. It required the library to access the calibration data and perform quite complicated manipulations on the sensor data coming out to get the humidity, abs pressure, and temperature. Floating point was used by one of the examples in the data sheet. The data sheet also showed an signed integer solution but it was signed long 32bit not the signed 16 bit that gcb has. After months of trying various things, someone...
