I received them on 9 Dec. Both tested good. Thank you very much.

Hi Bruce, The original firmware was the correct version, but I reloaded the firmware anyway and reloaded my test program, and I find the same situation of scrambled IOs. On closer examination of the board, I see that the "bad" board has a different silk-screen on it. The board's back side says "REV ...

I bought several ProStart boards all at one time. All tested good except one - the input pins all sense high and low voltage (except for the open-collector ones) but the IO number that changes does not correspond to the correct physical pin, as all the other boards do. Is there a way to re-burn the ...

I have used the bit-bang serial routines for the BasicChip on a few projects. I could not get things to work faster than 9600 baud, so I just stayed with 9600. Now I'd like to use 38400 and find that it and 19200 still do not work (garbled). I am using the SERIAL.bas with "waitmicro" calls (Septembe...

Thanks for all the comments and advice. I'm using an old text editor (from the mid '80s) that I really like, but I worked-around the editor troubles now. I wasn't removing good code lines - it's that any edit in the included file put that control chr at the end, causing the compiler to stop after th...

OK, the "removing comments" issue, I found, is caused by my text editor putting a strange control character at the end of any file it edits. I was lucky to find that one. Some things should go better now. I get a "multiple include guards may be useful for:" message when I change the name of "vdrivei...

In experimenting with using "Vdrive.bas", I find that just removing comments at the top of Vdrive.bas will make the compiler produce "no new line at end of file" messages and compile to a much smaller executable, which will not run at all. This is by just removing comments at the top of "Vdrive.bas"...

I found my old install CD and found the right combination of versions to make my old ArmMite program, that uses Vdrive, to load and work on my old ArmMites. The ArmMite is version kernel 7.43, BASICtools is V4.6 and ARMbasic is V7.36. At the beginning of this Vdrive-to-BasicChip project, I had made ...

Alright, so I decided to try to load my old ArmMite program (from 2010, that works with a vdrive) and go from there. But, I cannot even get my old ArmMite code to load into the ArmMite without syntax errors now. Maybe off the original subject, please, what is the version of Armbasic.exe that I need ...

I now got the syntax fixed, and hardware pin assignments correct. It just hangs-up here and there. I wasn't expecting that. I'm slowly working through the troubles. I will probably get it working before too much longer. I just wondered if there was something already available for the BasicChip and I...
