I too would like to create some separate .o "object files" (want to put some of those special drivers into a library). I know that in MPLAB it can be done with the C18 and C30 compilers by ...

Thanks. Sometimes one forgets the basics (shift right and bit masking)!

a = 174;
MSnibble = a >> 4; // right shift to remove lower nibble
LSnibble = a & 0xF; // bit mask to remo ...

Does anyone have a quick and efficient way of converting a byte into two separate nibbles in CCS? Years ago on a different platform, we used to be able to:

int8 a, MSnibble, LSnibble;
a = 174; ...

I have a project where product is fed to two different conveyor belts via an alternating mechanical diverter. I want to add a photocell on each of the two conveyor belts so that when product backs up ...

I have never used the MCP23016 I/O Expander and have a presssing project where this will help greatly. Your "MCP23016 simple driver" appears to be well written. However, I have a question: ...

Well, I finally got a chance to test the suggestions provided. It works great.

I use the "flex_lcd.c" driver (vice the "lcd.c" driver provided directly from CCS). I inserted t ...

Thanks. I knew I was missing something basic here -- of course you have to be able to initialize the display (what was I thinking!). This helps me immensely.

dro,

Okay, as I understand it (and after re-reviewing the datasheet again), to control the display ON/OFF, underline cursor, or blinking; I must set the DB0, DB1, or DB2 data bits high while holdin ...

Thanks. It looks simple enough. Sometimes I miss the obvious. I'll try it over the weekend and post my results.

Does anyone know how to turn on a flashing cursor or underline cursor on a standard HD44780 type LCD module? Is there a command that I can send to the LCD module to turn it on and off? With the curs ...

Thanks for the quick reply. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now to play...

I am programming several PICs, and would like to "pre-program" some data into the EEPROM during the PIC flashing. In PicBasic Pro, I would just use the "EEPROM" statement in my co ...
