Hi Filip, I have found that every time I go into VTFT, make even a minor change and come back out, the main.c file is replaced with an almost blank template (this is what I meant by while it is allowed to exist. I didn't know what was causing the code I was placing in main.c to keep disappearing. As...

Looks like potentially I am not going crazy after all :roll: . The logical place for my code is within the main.c file which is confirmed will constantly get erased if I continue to work in the VTFT environment. I am making changes to the main.c and have created a copy_of_main.c file so when it gets...

Thanks for the suggestion Toley but I have tried at least three times to read it but I struggle to read documents that use random fonts, colours, highlighting and images etc. all on the same page. I can see lots of people are pointed to it and every one seems to massively benefit so I am sure it is ...

Hi Filip, thanks for replying. I am using the hardware you mentioned and the configuration bits seem fine. Until it breaks again, it seems I can get images on screen and use events to do things like make a bleep, change an icon on the screen, make LED's change state or display a different screen. I ...

Hi, Where should I place my micro initialization code, interrupt functions or code that runs without a screen event (waiting for a specific UART transmission or servicing an interrupt for example)? The only place I find that works in in main.c but the compiler deletes it multiple times a day. I have...

I have come to the conclusion that MikroC for PIC32 and VTFT is as flaky if not worse than MikroC PRO for PIC (multiple crash reports a day being sent to MikroE). 2x PC's, one with a new install today and both have crashed and produced a bug report today. It constantly fights attempts at creating co...

I am really struggling now as I have calculated it will take me 369 days to do my project and I only have 311 days. I gave myself 5 days to learn the idiosyncrasies of MikroC Pro for PIC32 and VTFT but I have far exceeded that time and still cannot get an image on the screen or even get an LED on th...

I am still learning but today I have loaded my "data_Logger" project I was tinkering about with last week and none of the changes I make do anything to the HEX that is produced and programmed into my micro. My project currently has 4 sources and two VTFT screens (splash and Main1) but it is like it ...

I thought I was getting the idea but as things were starting to clear up last week, I now find I am more confused than ever. I have downloaded the example files for the EasyPIC Fusion v7 but most of them don't work and still produce a blank screen, even after I select the MX460 versions and use the ...

Thanks guys for the replies. Filip, I am not sure about MikroC Pro for PIC as I have uninstalled it as it was unusable and would no longer compile projects properly that it previously compiled. My hardware is an elderly intel i5-5200U Thinkpad Laptop with 8Gb RAM which is earmarked for replacement b...

Thanks, I have already learned more in the last few hours than in the last few weeks :lol: I suspect the touch screen calibration may be beneficial for something that may require precision and utilize a stylus (for drawing or similar) but in my case, a chunky finger selecting one of three buttons ma...

One more thing as I am learning how it works. When I start my micro, it now enters the screen calibration every time. Where do the calibration results get stored? I would like to store them in non-volatile memory so I do not have to call the calibrate function every time but can add an option to ent...

Wow, thanks guys you were both really helpful. It seems I wasn't really doing anything wrong all this time apart from when I created a new project, I didn't consider that the development system that it pre-filled in for me which was the correct development system may have two versions so I never cli...

Hi, thanks for replying. Its a PIC32MX460F512L. The screen is only about a month old but I don't think its either of what you suggest and came as part of the EasyPIC Fusion v7 It has a black border, says Multi-Inno and 0283QT-8 and when I look at the http://www.multi-inno.com web site, I can see a M...

I have spent weeks (on and off) trying to get my new TFT/MikroC for PIC32/EasyPIC Fusion V7 system to display something on the screen but the screen is permanently white. I have started with a new TFT project, switched to TFT (F12) and placed a button saying "PressMe". I have also tried to display a...
