Hello, Meelis! You've been an inspiration to me. Glad we're on the same page.

I can say that if you implement all features to your code, them maybe I can ditch mine and there is only one code
Your code seem so low level so I am not sure that I can contribute (assembler and low level pure C) |
Yah, I have been able to implement some features, but up until I started working with skybolt, I never had direct access to your code. You appear to have grafted your modifications onto the existing 0.86 DCB code, and my own code is almost a complete re-write. I think that there are a few text strings from the DCB code that are still there.
The code itself is a bit complex, but I have also been trying to make it easier to understand with re-arranging data structures and with inserting these strange things into the code, that begin with a "// ". I think they're called "comments..."

They should be added to wiki.
Too bad that I cannot test your code right now, because I have run out all atmega328 chips at the moment, only one is in my car, my arduino is chipless
I am checking your source code and reading what features you have implemented - feature list is really inspiring! |
Glad you like the list! I am trying to figure out how to add the "idle" and "EOC" auto-select screens that your code has. That's a real nice feature.

It's easier for me to search for locations within the program, if I need to make a code fix or modification.
I am trying to re-arrange the code so that it will be easy to split apart into modules. This is a long-term issue that I am keeping in the back of my mind.

At least it seems to compile in arduino IDE, but gives one warning
"WARNING: Category '' in library OneWire is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'"
Like I said, I cannot test uploading (no atmega chips)
|
I edit the code with a program named "TextPad," and copy/paste it into an Arduino IDE. From there, I program whatever platform I am testing the code on.
Not sure what this OneWire error is - I've never seen it. I try not to use any Arduino-specific library functions. They are great for tinkering, but I would rather optimize for speed, and those Arduino libraries are not optimized for speed.
Currently, I have a AtMega2560 test platform, a TinkerKit! LCD module test platform, and a JellyBeanDriver MPGuino test platform. I also have one of your MPGuinos, that I bought off another EcoModder.com member, but I have not yet started testing on it.

Thanks again!
