Just spent the morning tearing my hair out wonder why my nice regular timer1 interrupts were screwing up whenever I wrote anything to the data EEPROM and, sure enough, I should have read the datasheet ...

No problem. I had found a few examples online which should have done the trick, but they again were in normal C.

@Ttelmah Thanks for the suggestion - I've just had a try with using strcpy, and with #device PASS_STRINGS=IN_RAM, but unfortunately it's outputting gibberish. Strcpy works fine with just a single lite ...

Thanks - yeah, looking around, I think I get a feeling for why it's not possible. Never was entirely happy with pointers!

I've stuck to putting separate printf() in each possible option:

printf& ...

I'm trying to use the ?: operator to choose a string based on a variable's value and I'm having trouble getting it to return strings. As a basic example, try this:

int1 clsmode=1; // Clear screen m ...

Ahhh makes sense. (unsigned int16) does the trick.

I'm definitely using the most recent version (5.118) and there's no sign of atol32 in stdlib.h, only atoi32. I guess it's maybe redundant since at ...

Couple more things ;-)

Am I correct in thinking that if v is declared as an unsigned int16, then it'll definitely hold the correct value (as in, 0 to 65535) when I do v=atol(uart_text)? Looking at ...

My brain hurts ;-) I think I get what you're describing!

Turns out Windows calculator does signed integers (2's complement). If I stick in 10000 then multiply by 5, it says -15536, so that overflow ...

Thanks for the tips everyone, some good pointers there.

Suppose I have the following:

unsigned int16 v;
get_string(uart_text,10);
v=atol(uart_text);
printf("You entered: %lu\r\n",v);

This compiles and runs fin ...

Not strictly PIC or CCS related, but I'm curious about what people think is the best way to interact with a simple menu system over a serial connection. More over-thinking as usual on my part ;-)

A ...

I'm beginning to realise that like with most things I'm a bit behind the curve! There's probably lots of amazing things that the 24's could do which I'm missing out on. I've never been that hot on pro ...

Mmmm....sounds like I'd better just stick with the one interrupt.

Re: those text files, AWESOME! I never would have figured out to look there - I have to say, much as I like the compiler compared w ...

@Ttelmah Mainly laziness and inertia - I've mostly just used timer 1 or 2 in the past for things like this and never even looked at the CCP module 🤣🤣 I went and had a play with it, and things ar ...

@jeremiah - that makes total sense now, thanks!

@ttelmah - I just had a closer look at what get_string is doing and you're right, it reads and gets rid of everything after the max characters ;-) Th ...
