Hi

Can you PLEASE, PLEASE ,PLEASE clean up the library documentation, especially that which pertains to internal ethernet library.

Help files seem to be lifted straight from ARM compiler and refer to functions such as Putbyte that don't exist in this compiler.
Many return values are also wrong.

I have lost weeks of work due to poor documentation and examples in libraries. Information that should be readily available has to be found by trial and error. Might be fun for hobbyists but deadly in a production environment.
I am sure that if you improve accuracy and breadth of documentation you will reduce load on your support team.

thanks

Hi Alan,

I'm sorry if you had any problems with our library functions and examples.

Can you please point me to right directions in the Help file?

We would try to correct all errors in the Help file as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Aleksandar

Hi Aleksander,

To begin

Which library should I be using.....
the Ethernet internal library that comes with compiler using commands like Ethernet_Intern_Init

or the library on Libstock which I found tonight by accident using commands like Net_Ethernet_Intern_Init ??

I had some success with the former (I was able to eventually get DHCP going after many weeks).
Now trying unsuccessfully so far with the latter.

There is also a bug in the PWM Click for Micro C Pro - FT90X

in the PWM Click.c file

You have
sbit PCA9685_EN at GPIO_PORT_00_07.B0;

after finding the sample code and board did not work out of the box I checked schematics
should be

sbit PCA9685_EN at GPIO_PORT_00_07.B1;

now working fine.

I like you guys and I like your products but I am starting to think that FT90x has been released without full testing.

Hi Alan,

Can you please tell me which hardware are you using?
Ethernet from the board?

*There is also a bug in the PWM Click for Micro C Pro - FT90X
- We will fix this. Thank you for reporting it.

Best regards,

Hi Aleksandar,

I am using the onboard Ethernet Connector on EasyFT90x

Hi Alan,

You should be using the example from the compiler folder:
...\Documents\Mikroelektronika\mikroC PRO for FT90x\Examples\EasyFT90x V7\Ethernet Demo

And you use "Ethernet Library" functions for this.

Best regards,
Aleksandar
