Hi, Although we think that is a very good idea to have Linux compilers in our offer, the project is on hold because our software developers are very busy working on the improvement of the existing compilers and other products. Best regards, Marina Glad to know that your team sees value in a linux v...

Thought I'd check to see if any progress has been made here. An Eclipse plug-in would be great as Eclipse is my current IDE.

Been awhile since anyone updated this thread. Any news on running MikroC in Linux?

Is a Virtual Machine currently the best option?

Thanks, but I want to do better than sleep. I want to shut-down the MCU and consume no power. Is that possible? If the MCU is completely shut down how do you expect to wake it back up? What you should consider is using a PIC that offers the XLP capability. If done right the sleep current on some of...

Filip.

Thanks, but I want to do better than sleep. I want to shut-down the MCU and consume no power. Is that possible?

The stdlib.h file contains a exit() function, but my compiler complains when I try to use that.

How can I completely shut-off a MCU (from code) so that it consumes no more power?

Mince,
That fills in many of the missing pieces very nicely for me. Thank You!

I've been programming with mikroC for years now without any regard to bootloaders. It seems to be a relatively important part of an embedded product, but I just don't fully understand what it is and why it's needed. What I've read online tells me that the bootloader allows someone in the field to qu...

I'm pretty embarrassed to admit there actually wasn't an error.

I had a measurement mistake due to my unfamiliarity with the particular oscilloscope I was using.

anyone?

I've got a program that used to accurately output a PWM signal at 100kHz. I've been making tons of mods to the code over the last month and seem to have broken the PWM output. It now outputs at 250kHz, but I can't figure out why. I'm using the internal clock on a PIC16F785. -Clock is set to 8MHz -PR...

Odd... After thinking I fixed it yesterday, it seems that the problem is now intermittent. I was doing the same thing in the software both times when this occurred. Software on my MCU should never affect ability to program, right? I attempted clearing EEPROM in conjunction with re-seating the USB co...

start over, from scratch, unplug all, new pic, reinstall software, measure volts with dvm, try new usb port, ext power, a different computer, new cable ect, etc let us know tom Last item on the list: "New USB Cable" This was a nightmare to troubleshoot. I had actually tried a new USB cable before p...

I've been using my EasyPic3 board successfully all day long. Suddenly, the PicFlash program has issues communicating with the EasyPic3. Gives a message about Vcc being 0V. Also, Windows XP now thinks there is a problem with my driver. I'm guessing I have a hardware failure on my EasyPic3 development...

I know this isn't supposed to happen. Please help me find out what's going on. I've programmed a PIC16F785 on my EasyPic3 by plugging the top 8 pins into the DIP8 socket. To verify the program was written correctly, I set PortA Pin2 to pulse an LED at a rate of 2 seconds on 2 seconds off. while(1) {...
