Re: Caparing vals to find the most common numbers

Look's like you might have something there. I'm going to play with that. It's giving me some ideas. Another thought, is it possible to create and array of integers or integer array . So that I can index through the values? Give me an example using some of my numbers.

Re: Caparing vals to find the most common numbers

Thanks Ben. I did try averaging the numbers, but The tolerances I am working with still puts the numbers out to far. I need to if possible hit the number on the head. Is there any programming suggestions that would get me the desired answer using the Idea l listed above? It looks to me like a whole ...

Caparing vals to find the most common numbers

Good day all. I am working with a sensor unit that has a +/- 1% accuracy over the measured distance. What I am trying to do to increase my chances of getting a more accurate and consistent value, is to ask the question, which number shows up the most in the list and then select that value as the cor...

What I want to know is at this time, do you know if Flowcode 4 will include any support for connecting to the internet through a di...

Good day all. I have a device connected to my PIC via RS232. The device is defaulted to ECHO on. The problem is that when I am receiving responses back from the device I also have coming back at me mixed in with the responses the echoed characters. I need to know how to handle the echoed characters....

Converting float to string

Good day all. I've had some success using floating point number calculations with my ranging module distance reader. The problem is that when I need to output the calculated value through the RS232 port it is my understanding that I need to convert it to a string. Looking at sourceboost documentatio...

Combining bytes

Good day all. I would like to know can I combine 2 bytes into and int and create from that 1 Int. In particular if I took a byte number 1 as my high byte and number 2 as my low byte would this give me and Int value of 12, and would I have any problems using this in a calculation. Also could you give...

Re: Calculating distance

Thanks Steve and Sean. Sean as per your suggestion I could use tmr1 which is a 16 bit timer, could you give me a modified version using tmr1? I modified the fcd for the 18f258 so I could use tmr1 without writing c code. Also I tried to change the target device to the 18F258 and it would not compile....

Good day all. I would like to get some help calculating distance using a ranging sensor module. Heres what I have. I have 2 pins connected to a ranging sensor unit. Using tmr1 to count down, every 5sec a macro is called that outputs a 1 to start the ranging unit and enables tmr0 which increments a v...

Re: RAM and ROM

Ok Benj. You've raised the bar a little too high too soon. I looked at the BoostC manual. Is there an easier way? Not so much the writing to ROM part, but a more efficient way of putting together a program that saves on RAM use. What if any are the things I should be considering as far as RAM is con...

RAM and ROM

Good day all.
I wrote this program using a lot of string manipulations. When I tried to compiled it. My RAM use was way over and my ROM use was 0. Where can I get more information on the effective use of RAM and ROM when building my program. I searched this forum with no luck.

Two question though. 1) Is there a way to know how many time I should do a read to be certain that the buffer is cleared. I got this from the data sheet.
