Hi All,
Here is another LCD utility that separates the config from the Driver. No more editing the Driver for a different development board.
- High or Low 4 bit Data Port Config
- Busy Flag
- Download Characters
- 8x1 to 20x4
- Lots of comments

Hi All, At first I had a lot of difficulties getting the boot loader on Generic Targets to work with the IDE. Now it's easier so I wanted to share what I found. First there is lots of DOC's already here but to those who are just starting here is the basic list on what you have to do: 1 - Make the bo...

Thank you this is very helpful.

You are right I am thinking boolean is one bit. It's good to know that there are limits. So it does become a constant unpack to read then pack to save back. When I'm done I will post it here

Thank you for such a speedy reply! Since every byte is different and every bit field is different joining them all together as an array of (0-31) won't work. What I was working on but feel is the wrong direction was this definition of each byte here: Public Const Clock_f41 as UnsignedInteger = &...

Hi all, I am trying to work with a DS1923 which has many small bit fields and large numbers that are a series of bytes. I can read one or more bytes at a time but I must write 32 bytes back at a time. I have tried "based" variables, Aliases, and Unions. Large numbers seem to work but not b...

Looked around and could not find anything that did a basic inventory of 1-Wire devices. So here is one that I got going for ZBasic with help from a number of sources. Spits out to the console: Family Code, 48Bit ID, CRC 10 79:89:D2:01:08:00:16 28 D2:1C:23:00:00:00:11 0C 9A:E8:07:00:00:00:19 12 A8:74...

Thank you so much Don

Saved me from bricking the little guy.

Don,
I scraped away the cement around the Xtal on the top of the chip and it's clearly the old style AT90S8535.

Also I checked:

I know it's a close cousin would it still work?

Hi All,
Is it possible to reprogram it with the boot loader using the ISP interface and run it as a Native chip?
I have converted much of my old code over to ZBasic and my BasicX-24 chip just sits unused.

Tim

Sharing and flat out are going to be interesting to work on
Thanks everybody

Hi,
I am looking for examples of using the SPI bus.
Both Hardware SPI and Software SPI examples.

I am using 2 SPI chips, one is the old DS1302 and the other is a D->A chip with a SPI interface that needs to run flat out.

Thank You
Tim C.

I had the same problem and solved it by changing the origional Help line mentioned above to:

command.zbasic.help.default="file://C:\Program Files\ZBasic\doc\ZBasicRef.html"

The problem before was the additional ' to the left of file://
