Re: Need a group for the BP2? - 8 years ago
Hi Jim, thanks for the reply and link. I did visit this page the other day and didn't spot the obvious link to the Python source code. I have a homebrew uP board (built in the 80's) which has a custom but trivial boot loader. I have been looking for an easy way to download code to it. After installing some libraries I do have bvserial working in a DOS window and I see my debug LED on TX iby migry - Projects
Re: New Free Firmware - 8 years ago
Hi Jim, how do you manage to program the PICMX170? I have both PicKit2 and PicKit3 and this useful processor does not seem to be supported. regards... --Garyby migry - Announcements
Re: Need a group for the BP2? - 8 years ago
Hi Jim, this is the wrong section to ask, but here goes. I read in some old files that you were happy to release the source code of BV_COM, the version in Python. I had a search bit didn't find anything. I have an old uP board which has a trivial boot loader and I need to send some data via RS232 in the required binary format. I toyed with writing my own similar tool to BV_COM, but failby migry - Projects
Re: C on the BP2 - 8 years ago
Just a quick message. It has been a busy year for me with new job and house move, so my work using the BP23 programmed in C has come to a complete halt. I hope to pick things up this year now I have a work room sorted out. So hopefully I will post more information later this year (2016).by migry - BP2 & Related
Re: C on the BP2 - 9 years ago
I ought to mention that if you plan to program the PIC32 in C then buy a copy of "PROGRAMMING 32-BIT MICROCONTROLLERS IN C: Exploring the Pic32" by Lucio Di Jasio.by migry - BP2 & Related
C on the BP2 - 9 years ago
I was interested in this board due to the arduino connector layout together with the power of a PIC32. Of course you need to make sure that any shields are 3.3V compatible. Remember that any output can only drive 3.3V as a logic high which might or might not work with 5V devices. Any pin which DOES NOT share an analogue function is 5V input capable. My preference is to program in C. I am usingby migry - BP2 & Related
Re: Need a group for the BP2? - 9 years ago
Thanks for the reply Jim. I have the *BP2* in which you thoughtfully put holes for a PicKit3 connector. I populated it and it programs OK. I will probably put a 100k resistor to pull up MCLR, but I am in the middle of a move and without my soldering iron or components! I'm using some of my time to play with the BP2. I have a plan but more news later. If you do create a BP2 specific sectionby migry - Projects
Need a group for the BP2? - 9 years ago
I'm currently playing with the BP2. My interest is its Arduino layout. I have no interest in BASIC, so I am programming in C using MPLAB and programming using a PicKit3. The board is really playing up. My suspicion is reset - MCLR. Looking at the schematic it appears to be connected to a capacitor but otherwise is floating. Shouldn't there be some kind of pull-up even if 100k (so as not tby migry - Projects
Re: Getting Started - 11 years ago
Hi to everyone. I'm a regular(ish) Byvac customer, having first stumbled upon them at the York Radio Rally, several years ago. Nice to see Byvac move away from Forth (a language to be fair I have never dabbled in) :). I had some initial problems with the BV500 package (BV500 + display + components + proto-board). Please check your proto board as the strips down both sides are not continuby migry - BV500
