Re: Microcontroller Systems Engineering with Flowcode
How useful is the book if you don't use e-blocks? I do have the HP-488 training board, just bought Flowcode (still searching for time from the real job to dig in and enjoy....).

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
I reinstalled, same problems. I then went into the settings->options->tools in sourceboost, and reset the PPP target path, even though it appears it was correct. That seemed to fix it. I can now create programs from scratch, and they load fine. No clue why that is the case, I honestly don't think th...

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
So I decided to start over, and completely uninstall and reinstall the course software. I have other C/C++/PIC IDEs/compilers on my machine..could I have some issue there? There are no links or defaults set up that should cause an issue, and the fact that the exercises already contained in the cours...

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
Using XP Pro. So are you saying I should be able to create a new project, using the sourceboost version I open within the course CD, and not have to add or modify? If that is the case, I'm curious if any other users are seeing the problem I am seeing. I'd prefer to not have to go and instal on anoth...

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
It's my own standalone computer, so no r/w issues there. The target device is correct also. The question is, how do I create a project from scratch that will work as the exercises do? I can essentially clone one by opening a working one in notepad, and then copying and pasting into the new project f...

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
I have figured out that the problem definitely lies in the _c project file. If I take the project file from an exercise that works, cut and paste, and rename, and then add c files as needed, I'm fine. That said, there must be an easier way to do this. How do I automatically create that same proj fil...

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
Commenting out the pragma allows it to compile. I still, however, get the "failed to spawn...check if path to this external application is correct" warning. I don't have that happen if I run one of the exercises. The only thing different is the project. So if I compare, here is my project file: [Set...

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
I did as you instructed, and got two warnings..tried this with several example programs. "warning-unknown or invalid pragma" (when compiling). it points to line 10, the config word: /* Flash one LED */ /* David Miles April 2006 */ #include <system.h> /* Set 8 MHz clock frequency */ #pragma CLOCK_FRE...

Re: Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
Ok, so I went back again, and worked thru the example of setting up a project. I then copied an exercise program into this new project file (in the .c file). I called the new project "first". When I build/link/compile/program, I get to the point of programming, and it tells me "failed to spawn (firs...

Projects, Exercises, and SourceBoost
I'm struggling a bit with the actual process of starting a new project in SourceBoost in order to do the exercises...I'm working with C4PIC. For instance..if I want to start exercise 1.7, I obviously can click on the link, and it shows me the code, I can build/compile/link/program, and it runs. But ...

I just purchased V3 from a US distributor a few weeks ago.

Re: development kit for 8051
In the midst of shopping for my C4PIC dev board and CDs, I saw this. Looks like it might suit your needs.

Re: 2 Questions re C4PIC and V3 Dev Board
With 6.89 installed, clicking on an exercise inside the course still opens the old version...6.55. If I then open the 6.89 IDE, it will open with the same exercise I had opening with the embedded version (6.55).
Is this normal behavior, or should 6.89 open when I click an exercise link?

Re: C4PIC Exercise 1.1 Problems
I see what I am doing wrong.
I was clicking on the SourceBoost icon, rather than the link for the exercise under the vpic.

Re: C4PIC Exercise 1.1 Problems
Whenever I open Sourceboost via the C4PIC icon, that is what opens up. That appears to be the issue. I'll see what I can do to close it, or prevent it opening.
I should get a clean IDE with nothing opened when I first open Sourceboost, right?

2 Questions re C4PIC and V3 Dev Board
1. My Development Board came with a small piece part that has "key" stamped on it. Best way to describe it is it looks like rectangular plastic piece with a flat metal piece attached to it. Wondering if this is actually part of the dev board, or something put in by the distributor by mistake. I'l be...
