Hi,
If all the above is ok, I would like to add one of these next:

I believe it may be tricky as there ae calculations etc.

Hi,
For different modules, each use a SPI different 'CS' (Chip select) PIN on the PIC. I even tried commenting out the two 'CS' SPI lines in the program, but the 5110 still worked.

I tried changing the:
Define SPI_CS_BIT = 5 'CS choice 5110=4 BMP280=5
but it made no difference. I assume the 'CS' hasn't been implemented yet.

I think each module will need it's own variable so that each can be addressed as needed.

hi C,
Which version of the SPI settings are you using,?
E
'SPI yours
Define SPI_CS_REG = PORTD
Define SPI_CS_BIT = 4
Define SPI_SCK_REG = PORTC
Define SPI_SCK_BIT = 3
Define SPI_SDI_REG = PORTC 'not used, but left in so OSH does not burp
Define SPI_SDI_BIT = 4
Define SPI_SDO_REG = PORTC
Define SPI_SDO_BIT = 5
Symbol lcd_reset = PORTC.1
Symbol lcd_mode = PORTC.0 '1=DATA ,0=COMMAND

hi C,
Was the 9110 LCD still updating or did it retain the last old reading,with the CS lines commented out.?
It should retain the last reading.

Hi E,
I'm using my SPI settings.

With both define CS lines commented out, the 5110 keeps updating as normal. I tried putting a line:
PORTD.4 = 1 '0=ON 1=OFF #################################################
in the program which works, but I haven't figured out the new LOOP system yet. Once I do I'll add a button to test switching the 5110 ON/OFF

With a voltage meter on the 5110 CS PIN, it shows 3.3V but blips as the GPS updates.

Hi,
With both define CS lines commented out, switching PORTD.4 =1 or 0 switches the 5110 ON/OFF. (and clears screen)
PIN out 18LF4520 5110_CS = RD4 BMP280_CS = RD5

Hi,
Here's the latest program, which shows updating GPS, TIME and LOCATION on the 5110.

I find that working on shorter sections of code is better for me, and have made INCLUDES for each module and process.

It compiles and works. Each module needs it's own CHIP SELECT (Which I have included on each INCLUDE), but I noticed that at least one of the CS isn't 'capitalising' as usual when compiling. I'm not quite sure where the CS should be, for each module.

C.

hi C,
You do not have to change the extension to .txt, the forums accept .bas

hi C,
It compiles OK, which CS does not capitalise.?

Hi E,
In each of the INCLUDES I added a switch ON at the start and OFF at the end. None of them are 'capitalising' Perhaps all CS should be in the main program as each module is called?

Also there is : 'Gosub rst_lcd' which is important. Does it need reseting each time the 5110 is called? [I hope this is a correct use of CALL]

C.
 
Hi,
I've found lots of mistakes, just correcting them.

EDIT: This works.
Still correcting:)


main:

PORTD.5 = 0 'CHIP SELECT ON[hpa] [SPI]
Gosub get_hpa 'Reads BMP280
PORTD.5 = 1 'CHIP SELECT OFF[hpa][SPI]
PORTD.4 = 0 'CHIP SELECT ON [5110] [SPI]
Gosub get_lcd 'Writes to LCD
PORTD.4 = 1 'CHIP SELECT OFF [5110] [SPI]

Goto main

hi C,
The gosub rst_lcd is only called once at power up.
I do not see any non cap' CS.?

Hi E,
gosub rst_lcd'
Did you look in each of the INCLUDES? They were at the start and the end of each, but I've removed them now and placed them in the MAIN LOOP. (Will update #287) later. They now switch in SIM.

hi C,
I checked all the INC files, all OK.
I would suggest that the INC file code for the module you are currently developing be placed in the main code listing.
Only when the module has been fully debugged would I move it into its own INC file.
You may have noticed when compiling when a, IF or ENDIF , etc is missing the editor displays the end of the INC listing.

Hi E,
Good.

BMP280 in MAIN.

I've connected the BMP280 to the PCB.
I don't think I need any calculations at the moment, only and input from (I think) the 3x BYTES at 3x different addresses.
First I'm trying to figure out how the GPS gets the ALT (stralt). I don't see a CSV count. Then I'll try changing it to the BMP280 once I get a value.

EDIT: Just found CASE12

Hi,
Just tried this:
The GPS now shows 3x lines.
Nothing shows in the 4th line. I would expect at least the 'ALT ='
This was a quick test, without much checking of the electronics, just to see if it would work first time, but NO.

hi C,
You have changed the sub routine names in the Main, it will not compile with yesterdays INC's

Hi,
I now get 4x lines on 5110, with GPS updating.
On line 4 it shows AL

It won't accept 'read_data' because it isn't a STRING.

Here are the two relevant sections:

Const r_data = 0xf9 'READ ADDR lsb from BMP280
Dim read_data As Byte
