    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    Thanks Phil, but having read (or tried to read/understand) about Putty, I think I'll give it a miss. It's all a bit much for my 76 year old grey cell to comprehend when a simple downgrade to PE6.1 does the job for me. Sysinternals is something I used many (many) years ago but I've forgotten...

    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    Thanks Phil for your response. I'm not sure about your symptoms or what your program is doing - do you have a lot of user input or is it like mine, all generated by sensors, etc. and then outputting a high or low to a given port depending on those sensors (sensors reading either ON or OFF, no...

    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    We all seemed to have hooked onto the problem being with the simulation mode of PE. No, there is no issue with SIM - therefore adding SIMSPEED would have no effect on the problem. 'Tis fine, works well. The issue is the change from PE6.1 to PE6.2 during live running and utilising diagnostic...

    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    Thanks, but the hangups using PE6.2 occur during run-time on the project with plenty of trace enabled, not in SIM mode, and only on the "old" laptop - 4MB RAM (64% utilised) but with the CPU running at or very close to 100%. It's obviously an under-powered CPU but it was (and still is) able to...

    PE6.2.0.0 hanging up

    I've recently upgraded from PE6.1.0.0 to 6.2.0.0 and find that on my somewhat old laptop that, when running a listing with numerous trace events to be output, the trace window is very jerky - often pausing before listing a bunch of trace lines - and then totally becoming unresponsive and the...

    IF BIT x SET timing question

    Just a quick, but probably tricky question to answer, regarding the difference in the timing length between a couple of commands - this on a 40X2 at setfreq M16. I note timing for the command IF var BIT value SET THEN has not been described in the Program size Optimization and Speed document...

    i2c and setint/setintflags

    Thank you to one and all for the hints, pointers and the odd bit of code relating to my i2c comms issues, i.e partially not working. I can now gratefully report that I have got my project up and running - at least in a basic form from which I can now build up the software further. I was having...

    i2c and setint/setintflags

    Thanks guys for the notes and comments. Specifically to hippy: As I'm new to the concept of using i2c (other than it's a two-wire communication protocol/process and essentially transparaent to the processors involved) where else would I be looking for information other than in the manual that...

    i2c and setint/setintflags

    Thank you Phil for the pointer to the thread. It just goes to prove the different ways of entering a search criteria, getting just the right wording to get the information needed. So thank you for that. I certainly missed that one! And thanks to Goeytex for the examples in the other thread. I...

    i2c and setint/setintflags

    I can't help think I'm missing something here! And I probably should know better. I'm trying to make use of the i2c protocol and am having trouble sending data out - receive onto the master is ok. One 4k7 pullup per i2c rail. I have a 18M2 acting as the "master" reading a number of sensors...

    PE 6.1.0.0 Auto Backup not working

    I've tried posting this question on the main active PICAXE section of the forum but, regrettably, I'm not getting very far towards a solution to the fact that the AutoBackup doesn't work between one PE session and the next; not for me (or another user it seems). I'm running the latest Windows...

    Editor Options Backup

    Well, yesterday it worked - new day, new Win10 & PE sessions, no auto backup. Been running a new session for 60 minutes following a few changes to the listing and Running the changed listing. Another 30 minutes following a save and run - still no auto backups made. So what changed? Nothing...

    Editor Options Backup

    Thanks JG The pen drive is (more or less) permanently mounted in the same usb socket when the laptop is powered on until it's powered off and it retains the same drive letter each session - Primary Partition F:drive. The only time it would get removed is to very occasionally use it on the other...

    Editor Options Backup

    What have I discovered from today's testing and mind games over this auto backup facility? 1. saving to pen drives appears not to be supported across sessions; only on a per session basis by going into the Options screen and OK'ing the settings each time a session is started. This is...

    Editor Options Backup

    Last night, auto backups were set; today I've been editing and running a test program (editing without a 'save' - also following a 'save') and no auto backups are appearing - anywhere on the laptop or its pen drive. From last night's settings file: <AutoBackup>true</AutoBackup>...
