Controlling your World the Easy Way

You just highlight the text with the mouse, and from the menu select Copy and Paste. Pasting bigger blocks doesn't work well because of the slow link speed. It is easier to paste it on the PC in a text file and send it with the download option.

Greetings, Is there a source code line length restriction in Control BASIC? Is there a line continuation character for source code lines? Quick answers, yes and no. The line length limit is the memory limit if you never invoke the editor. The editor limits the line length to 254 characters which I ...

Greetings, I would like to know if I can use the computer-to-USB connector and an external power supply with the Project Board 1 at the same time. The USB cable is also supplying 5 volts to the EzSBC1. Thanks, David Eagle Definitely. There is a jumper in the corner near the battery holder labeled '...

https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded is another GCC toolchain with installers and some free support. It is maintained by ARM employees and seems to be well liked.

Hi Jonne First, I have no problem with you adapting the design for another applications etc. I have helped others do the same and even built their hardware for them. Since you have a source level debugger you will find developing on this board really easy and quick. I haven't used MBED with the vers...

Yes, I have versions with the RF69HW module. If you want to return your boards I will swap your boards with one with the HW module for the price of postage.

If you need a sensor to detect the mailbox being opened I would use a tilt sensor or a reed switch and magnet. Both are easy to use without another power supply and are small and easy to mount. If you need to power a 12V sensor then you need a boost converter. I don't know of low cost boost converte...

It will be possible, the question is how much effort is required. I don't know much about Truestudio other than that it exists. If it has support for the LPC1347 then it should not require to much work. A look at the Atollic web site confirms that they have support for the LPC family of processors. ...

Several people notified me that the forum was down. Initially I mistakenly thought that it was due to something that the hosting provider did but I was mistaken. It turned out that someone from a Ukrainian IP address had compromised the security and tried to change a file to generate clicks on an ad...

The solder mask may be preventing the backup cell from making contact. I have found that the cells sometimes (depends on the manufacturer) have a bigger negative terminal than the spec for the cell size. The PCB comes from my vendor that I have beaten on mercilessly for shipping me boards that are n...

It would help if my hosting provider didn't break my forum periodically. As you may have noticed the forum was off line for some time due to a syntax error in a php script. Since I don't edit the php directly and haven't updated the software I don't know how the code 'broke' by magic. I updated the ...

The trick with solar panels is to use the highest voltage that you can get away with. As you have discovered when the lighting is not optimal the voltage drops a lot and the panel becomes useless. I tested with a '12V', 5W panel that I bought on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/150Watt-100W-12V-solar-pa...

The Project Board fits into a PACTEC CM5-125 standard case available from Mouser Electronics. http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.asp ... rd=CM5-125

A week has come and gone and I'm still fighting the code. I have the reserved words implemented and it is recognized but I'm struggling with the implementation of the handler. The problem is that there are things happening in the background of the interpreter already such as the 100us timer tick, PW...

The interrupt support is an embarrassing situation. I implemented it and it introduced a very hard to find set of bugs. I removed it and since then I found the source of the bugs which had nothing to do with the interrupt support but rather that I had run out of keywords. Because the micro doesn't h...
