a definite yes from me too!

I'm now confident that the problem was with my code. i.e. its behaviour on reset assumed that the ECU required a 'fast init' to wake it up ... which is certainly does need if I am loading to EEPROM,...

that makes perfect sense, but my ECU doesn't know that the propeller is going through a reset ... it's just sitting there waiting for an instruction ... unless ...

... unless, ... unless it can't...

hey Rick, that occurred to me but it doesn't explain why it works fine without the delay in there when it runs after a load from EEPROM.

I'm happy to share whatever you like ... all I am doing...

OK here's some code ... not sure how helpful it will be ... I am using my prop to talk to my Suzuki motorcycle ECU (engine control unit) via the OBD port ...

the first code to execute is this:...

thanks for the suggestion ElectricAye, but I only have the one version open

I did some more testing and noted that if I add a 3-second delay before calling my first cognew(), it makes a...

Hi all,

the behaviour of one of my programs is not consistent between the following 3 events:

(a) manual reset (pushbutton on Resn)
(b) compile and load RAM
(c) compile and load EEPROM

For...

I modified the USB cable for my PPDB to do exactly this,

On the USB cable:
- cut the USB cable near the end that connects to the PPDB
- feed on some heatshrink tubing on each wire
- strip the...

I love it.

It's great just to hear people discussing the propeller.

And I love your perspective of coming from the angle of a total n00b ... keep it coming!

cheers,

are you referring to the photo? if so, that's no book, it's the lid/cover to the box that the quickstart is packaged in

assuming that you're using one of the LCD objects from the library (e.g. LCD_16x2_8bit.spin),
you can simply move to the start of the row you want to clear, then write spaces

for example, if...

OK ... so, under what conditions is it preferable to pass the address of the shared variable when the cog is started,
and read or write to the variable using long[]/word[]/byte[] etc?

e.g. start...

i bought one a couple of years ago, but found that I hated the keyboard
so much I couldn't use it ... keys too close & hard to read
and because the keys are so close, you keep tapping the wrong one...

and a winter solstice for those of us who live below zero latitude
which this year occured in the wee hours of 22 June (in Melb) ... better late than never

well, I was enticed by digilent's max32 board with the pic32mx in an arduino-friendly layout supported by a cross-platform compiler, so I bought a couple of units to play with -

but after two...

@RossH: I pulled apart the end of USB cable (mini) and grabbed the red wire for +5v. The other wires are black (0v) and the signals are on green and white. There's plenty enough current to run just...

I travel a lot, so I carry a propeller (propstick USB) in an altoids tin, powered by the USB. The prime objectives were size, weight, robustness and flexibility. I toss it into my travel bag and it...

Wow.

I just had a play with bst on my macbook.

I would have PAID for this.

Now I can just about scrap parallels.

Is there any way to turn on indention marker lines to guide me with...

it can't be polygyny because that has 8 letters,
so I guess it must be syzygy?

Hi all,

I suspect that the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway:

Is there any way to get the Propeller Tool to compile & load conditionally?

In my development code I fire up some cogs for...

for the next release of the propeller tool,

when you do a search and replace, and the tool returns with the number of replacements it made, there's a spelling fail ...

it should be...

Thanks Beau, that's exactly the detail I was looking for!
cheers,

Hi ErNa can you please elaborate? I would have thought that with a pin configured as an input (hi-Z), it would be safe to have a higher voltage present on it, as there is hardly any current flowing...

isn't there a solution with just one PNP and one resistor:

tie the base high via say a 10k resistor, so when the i/o pin is configured as an input, the transistor will be turned off

connect the...

Hi all

(a) To use a pin as either an input (connected to a switch/resistor cct) or an output (the pin is also connected to an LED/resistor cct)
should be quite simple. Whether the pin acts as an...
