Re: Audio streaming

I have just tried it using a DAC and putting the output to port B, the pulsing is still there so i assume its something to do with how the output is generated. Also the output is terrible, you can just about make out whats being said through loads of static.

Re: .Bmp to LCD ??

The LCD will be 16bit colour too, im guessing that makes it all the more difficult to do.

Real Time Clock On Timer1

Hi, Iv been reading up on making a RTC using Timer1, I see that what i need to do is connect a 32.768khz crystal to T1OS1 and T1OS0, along with a few other components. In flowcode it gives the option in Timer1, TRANSISTION ON T1CK1 PIN. So now i guess that the timer is counting the pulses on the 32....

Re: 18f26k20 @ 64mhz

ok, so i removed the delays you added out of curiosity to see if these were slowing down the data transfer, when removed the LCD updates at a good speed, not as fast as i would like but close enough.

Re: 18f26k20 @ 64mhz

Hi Ben

Thanks for your help, that appears to have allowed the screen to work again, but even at this speed its still slow at refreshing, when creating a full screen box, you can see it as it renders the screen, scrolling down. Is there any way to speed this up more?

18f26k20 @ 64mhz

Does anyone know how to do this? i read that you can set the internal oscilator to 16mhz, (osccon=0x70;) then enable the PLL to multiply by 4 giving 64mhz, (pllen=1;) i can get it to work with 16mhz internal osc, but when i try and turn on the PLL it stops working. In the config i have it set to INT...
