C - Learning Index

twm47099

There is much useful reference information in the C - Leaning Web pages, such as descriptions of the library commands, formatting commands, and simpleterminal codes. However they are very difficult to find when needed. Today I tried looking for the description of a library function, and had to look through each of the tutorials. The first tutorial that used that function, did not explain it, but the next lesson did.

It would be very useful if there was a C - Learning Index which pointed to the specific link where a function is introduced or a table of commands or formats is located.

I realize that putting such together is time consuming, but once established should be reasonable to update.

I also realize that the functions are documented in the library, but today, I'm away from my computer and working off a tablet with no access to the library.

Thanks
Tom

Simple Library Index On-line

Steve,
Thanks for the link. I tried going through the LEARN Web site, but it only showed a few of the simple libraries.
This was the link that I got going through the learn/.../Propeller C reference. Obviously it's out of date.

This thread is a little old now, but I went ahead and removed that dead link and left the working one up (the same link jazzed included in this thread).

Thanks.

Courtney,
When I went to the Learn page, I clicked on the Propeller C link, then on the Propeller C Reference in the menu on the left side of the screen.
That took me to:
http://learn.parallax.com/C/propeller-c-reference

I went almost to the bottom of the page and found:
"Simple Libraries Documentation Online

Open the latest Simple Library Reference release"

I clicked on the link and that took me to the "Simple Libraries Folder Index", but the
link is the old one with the limited libraries (see below), not the one Jazzed posted.

Is there a different sequence that I should have followed?

Thanks,
Tom

Courtney Jacobs

Nope, your sequence was correct.

Perhaps I was still half-asleep (Monday's, you know).

I tried again, and it brings up jazzed's link from above now when I click it.

Courtney,
Thanks, it works fine.

Hello Tom;
Another method I use to access the Simple Library Reference while SimpleIDE is open is to click on the top menu bar HELP button, then click Simple Reference Library.

Hal,
Thanks.
The reason I asked about direct links, is for those times when I'm away from my computer that has SimpleIDE, and I'm using an android tablet.

I'd like to add that I've provided compiled doxygen documentation for the Simple libraries on PropWare's website. Doxygen is the same tool that Parallax use, but it is formatted slightly different on PropWare's site compared to Parallax's.

A flat list of all the files can be found along with (a much more helpful) search dialogue in the top right. The search dialogue will also auto-complete for you as you look for file names, functions, structs, etc.
