robert.rozee said Rev. 10 � 3 April 2012, the first result google throws out.

Rob, thanks I have it. I just checked my PCF8583 datasheet and it was even older.

Using the example code for SPI on page 47 I changed the pin in line one to Pin(15)
and I get an error 'invalid pin'. Page 6 says Pin(15) can be used for Digital I/O.

Are you running the latest beta? Pin 15 did not work with one of the earlier versions.

Hmm, from memory beta 7 fixed that issue. Try it with beta 8 and if it still does not work distil the problem down to a few lines of code and post it here. Then I can test it.

I can use pin 15 on beta 8 with no issues.

LINE INPUT #nbr ...
waits for a LF character rather than a CR.
My preference would be for either CR or LF
(I am a Windows programmer after all...)

Geoff,

Dim arg$(20)
SetPin 15,8:Pin(15) = 1
SPI OPEN 5000000, 3, 8
Pin(15) = 0
b=SPI(&h3b)

I switched to Pin(10) and the code is OK. But with Pin(15) I get the error message 'Invalid Pin'. I'm now using Beta8.

Paul,

Please clarify: Are you using a PIC32MX250 or PIC32MX[B150?

I believe Pins 15 & 23 are not available for use on the MX250.

Thanks WhiteWizzard, I was using the 150s and had one 250 which I started to use and forgot about Pins 15 & 23.

Good point, another thing to hunt down.

There is a problem displaying negative numbers.

for n = -2 to 2
print n
print str$(n)
print
next n

for n = 2 to -2 step -1
print n
print str$(n)
print
next n

and then try:
PRINT -1

Yes, there is a serious bug in beta 8 regarding printing numbers. I introduced it while implementing the extensions to the STR$() function

I hope to have a new release out soon that fixes that bug and also terminates a LINE INPUT on a carriage return (or line feed).

Thanks for the reports,
Geoff

Check your inboxes as I have just sent out beta 9.

This fixes a bug with printing negative numbers which caused serious mayhem. Also fixed is a bug which caused pin 2 and 3 on the 28 pin chip and pins 19 and 20 on the 44 pin chip to act strange when I2C was used.

Other, less important fixes are:
- LINE INPUT from a serial port now terminates on a carriage return.
- You can specify a negative number for the second argument of the extended STR$() function. This will force the display of a + sign as well as padding with space characters as before.
