The evaluation version of the same. As Jan explained to me in the chatroom, the only gotcha is that after 30 days the optimizer stops, um, optimizing. But with 2 kbytes of program memory, who cares? Microchip wins again...

BTW, there are only two boards left and I think one of them is spoken for, leaving just one board free to anyone who wants it... Be the first on your block to have an EChucK sculpture! I can chop up the board or mail it whole, your choice...

You can run it in evaluation mode forever (look for student version), but the optimizer will be disabled after a month (unless you have valid student ID or so I guess) - I've looked a bit into how it generates code for the PIC24 and I was not too happy with that, size wise, speed wise and for readability, so it would be a good thing to optimize critical code as assembly anyway.

This looks pretty interesting

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en534506 you seem to get the compiler and board for $60

Andy, it comes with the student version of the C compiler I think ... at least so did the pic32 eval. board I once ordered.

No need to gripe, I've got the complete setup on my little netbook and next month I'll buy the PicKit3 programmer also. Then I will be able to program chips with your designs on them and mail them to you, if that's what we want to do.

Hi Les,

No problem, Ill get a kit as well. If we are going to do it we may as well do it properly Smile

Andy, I feel so blessed by friendship and collaboration! You can be our European chip distributor. I'd like to get some chips in the hands of Kassen, et al...

Hi Les,

No Problems.

I re-installed the IDE and DSC compiler and its really weird it looks totally different to the first time I installed it. This of course if probably something to do with me, I have a bit of a fever!

Which image does yours look like?

Cheers

Andy

Mine looks like the first image, in blue, but I saw the second image on one of the C pages. I think the link I gave you was inside the hierarchy of Microchip web pages, not the main page of the C compiler. The main page shows a tan colored setup like the second image. Perhaps if we read on the website we can figure this out.

This page shows the tan look and feel:

Well they are two totally different IDEs, it is very strange I think I may be going a little mad!

Mine looks like the first one and I am going with that!

I have you example built and simulated, had to change the include stuff as follows:

#include "p33FJ12GP201.h"
#include "timer.h"
#include "outcompare.h"
#include "ports.h"

And set the include path. I don't quite know why we have a difference here.

I am looking at the docs at the moment to work out how to simulate input and output at the moment.

Andy, in the Project Manager Wizard, you select the toolset and set up the library directories and such. First off, did you use the Project Manager Wizard, and second did you select the correct toolset, taking the default directory paths? I should have explained this in more detail in the tutorial that I wrote.

Yep did all that.

<include> is usually used for system includes while "include" is used for user includes.

Probably something wrong with the path for system includes in my setup somewhere.

Hi Les,

Been looking ad some of the documentation on the dsPIC33FJ12GP201 and there is loads of it!

How is this device being connected to the rest of the eChuck universe, what areas should I focus on learning?

Cheers

Andy

Andy,

What we need next, and I should gett off my @$$ and do this myself, but what we need is an ADC interface. If you could take the test code 1 program and mod it so that it receives analog in and writes that to the PWM output, that would be awesome dude!

Les

Well I would love to but where is the A from the ADC coming from?

Looks like CE100 - Using A/D Converters and DSP Library for Signal Filtering may be a good start for me

Andy,

Pins 2, 3, 4, and 5 are connected as analog ins on the EChucK boards. Pins 11, 12, 15, and 16 are connected as PWM outputs. The example test code 1 program configures all four outputs to deliver the PWM output, but that can change. I'd ADC all four inputs and sum them.

Les

I take it 12bits is going to be enough otherwise it looks like we have to over-sample and it looks a little tricky to me!

Andy,

Upon glancing at the docs, I'd suggest using their code and pasting in the test code 1 program, I suppose...

Les

Looks like we may be down to 10bits as multiple channels are not supported in 12bit mode!

It all looks quite complicated I would say we might as well dispense with C and go for assembler.

Your call. I'm down with that.
