New StickOS features in v1.80...

[Rich Testardi]

I just released StickOS v1.80 for PIC32 and MCF5225x.

 

The significant features include:

• add string support, including "vprint" statement to print to variables
• add character constants
• add "<variable>#" operator to return length of arrays or strings
• add I2C support
• add "uart <n> (read|write) <variable> [, ...]" statements as alternative uart I/O mechanism, to avoid pin variable soup on PIC32
• add "input" and "getchar" BASIC statements for slave mode operation
• add "raw" print/input qualifier
• add persistent uart console baud rate support thru "baud" command
• add CDC/ACM serial interface

 

You can find the new documentation and bits here: http://www.cpustick.com/downloads.htm

 

And the bits for the CUI32 are here: http://www.cpustick.com/downloads/StickOS.CUI32.F512H.v1.80b.elf.hex

 

And here's a cool example of using strings and I2C to display the temperature on an LCD display: http://www.cpustick.com/examples.htm#ex2

 

Note that to use this on Windows, you need to install an INF file (the CDC/ACM driver comes right from Microsoft) www.cpustick.com/cpustick.inf -- just save to a file, right-click, and select Install, and you're ready to go!

Great stuff, Rich! I've converted my system and everything fits in 1 processor! It's all up and running. Strings are wonderful and saved something like 10% of program code bytes!! The other changes you made are also important and very valuable!

Thanks again!
