    New huge demo online! (Time Terminal) Last reply on July 06, 2008 05:56.

    Hi everyone!

    Just wanted to let you know our in-house Tibbo BASIC wizards have just posted a really big demo project, implementing a full Time and Attendance terminal. Some cool features on the demo: HTTP access, works with EM1000-TEV, full Access Log implementation.

    The project is really big. The code is well commented. I think it's a really cool addition to our tools, because you can either use it as an educational tool (to see how objects are used and learn some coding techniques) OR you can just take it and use it as a basis for your own commercial product!

    That's right -- you can use this code freely (and any code our guys post on the Tibbo website) for your own commercial products, without releasing it back as open source. Just take it, customize it, and make something cool.

    The project does have some kinks still (does not work under Firefox! We're working on that one..) but it is a very useful resource.

    Have fun with it, and tell me what you think!

    Tide on Linux? Last reply on July 02, 2008 05:09.

    We have several linux machines in our office, is there any TIDE that runs on linux?, or the source files that we can compile.

    Due to linux being a much better enviroment to lab work we're planing on phasing out the Windows machines.

    EM202 serial flow control problem Last reply on June 25, 2008 09:21.

    Hi there again,
    we are pushing some data (about 100bytes at a time) though serial port with 38 400 bps., then we forward it over UDP broadcast. Time to send 100bytes at this speed is about 30ms. So, when sending every 50-60ms, everything goes ok, no data loss occurs. But then sending every 30-35ms, with uart flow control enabled and in full-duplex mode, something strange happen: after a while, when flow control needs to be used (probably due to buffer filling), data sent through uart is constantly repeated and no new data is beeing received. It just keeps sending the same data on and on.
    I can't find any reason why this is happening.
    thanks in advance
    chris

    POST method on HTML form Last reply on June 11, 2008 11:59.

    The Html_login_1 demo that comes together with the Taiko compiler, uses the HTML GET method on the FORM to pass the login variables. When I change it to the POST method, the code does not work. The documentation says that it is compatible with both GET/POST methods. Am I missing something?

    STOR-ing word values in EEPROM Last reply on May 13, 2008 17:28.

    Hi,

    I am using the stor object on the EM1202 to store equipment data (model number, serial number, IP, port, firmware revision etc) in EEPROM. This is fine as I can store and recall all the data as strings.

    However, I now want to store a whole set of values from a 10-bit A-to-D converter into EEPROM. I have the values in 16-bit word variables and want to store them to EEPROM as 2-bytes each, but stor.setdata and stor.getdata accept strings only. If I convert to strings using the hex function, I end up using minimum 4-bytes, or double the space!

    Can anyone suggest how I can easily write/read these values in only 2-bytes each?

    Thanks.

    Bitwise Operations Last reply on May 13, 2008 10:16.

    Hi,

    I have been using BasicMicro Stamp and Atom controller(s) for many years and have just switched to the EM1202 for the first time in a project. I have found it a great product, but there appears to be a huge omission in terms of programming - individual bit manipulation within byte/word/long variables. Unless I am missing something, there appears to be no easy way of doing this?

    In a previous Atom application I used a 32-bit variable as a "register" to record 32 pass/fail criteria. There is facility in Atom Basic to simply turn individual bits in the variable on or off or use them in operations. You can also separate out any byte of a 16 or 32-bit variable and carry out many other bitwise operations. I can find no way to do these simply in Tibbo Basic.

    I have a work-around by converting the variable to a 32-character binary string representation, manipulating the characters in the string, then converting back to a 32-bit variable. This is VERY slow at processing.

    Am I missing something? If not, PLEASE can we have full bitwise operations in the next release? The Atom was superb at this, so please consult their manual for ideas! There is a whole range of operations I simply can't find a way of doing on the EM1202.

    Hugh

    How to use the 4 serial ports? Last reply on April 17, 2008 10:54.

    Hi!

    I've a EM1000-EV-01 board and I would like to know if is it possible to use the four serial ports available on the board. I've already tried but I can only work with serial port 0.
    The other problem I'm having is that I just can send data from Ethernet to serial port 0 and not from serial port to ethernet...I'm using sock.redir and ser.redir.

    Print function in Tide Last reply on April 16, 2008 15:23.

    Hi, i would like to ask for a feature, that i think it would be great to aid developement in tide

    A print function, that would print a variable value, or a string back to tide.

    This function would only work on debug versions and would post a message on a print output window in Tide, that would allow us view a variable value or just a string.

    Something like,
    Print (x)
    or
    Print ("Running Loop2")

    I know that you can do this with breakpoints and watch variables, but it's setup is slow, and sometimes you need the program to execute in realtime, without pausing in the breakpoint.

    Post your thoughts

    Python and Taiko Last reply on April 16, 2008 11:40.

    As developing new concepts in Tide is a somehow a slow task, due to the limited interaction it can have the developer, mainly breakpoints and watch variables.
    I found that python language to be very similar to taiko, and helps me develop proof-of-concept modules that i then port to taiko, shortening the time it takes to develop and debug a new algorithm of function.

    The python socket module and pyserial module, show some similatiries to Taiko sock and serial modules, and allow a easy prof-of-concept on your computer, before porting the application to Taiko.

    embedded HTML image files Last reply on April 13, 2008 08:32.

    I am having problems embedding an image 'g.png' in my html file that is compiled in TIDE.
    I am using the html code green led and including the file g.png in the Resource files. The output will only display the alternate "green led' and not the image.
    Anyone have any clue how I can load the image?

    4-port serial-to-ethernet app. code for EM1000 Last reply on April 09, 2008 11:05.

    Hi,

    I would like to make EM1000 work like this:
    I would like to open 4 local ports thru Hyperterminal, one port per serial port. e.g. 1000 for serial port 0, 1001 for serial port 1, 1002 for serial port 2, 1003 for serial port 3 for sending data from ethernet to serial ports. For opposite direction, from serial to ethernet, all data should be multiplexed. No data modification, work needed on data. Data just to be sent to correct serial port when coming from ethernet.
    Could anyone help on this? I have tried manny wys to do it but I can not make it work.

    Kind Regards

    Ali

    Add a flash memory or wait fd

    I am drawing a EM1000 pcb board about Machine Control Unit with graphic lcd (240x128)

    In our application some of the data will come through computer and some of entering by user with keys. Total data memory will be 100 kbyte.

    Could you give me your assistance about adding a flash memory ( like M25P40 SPI Flash memory ) to my board or must I wait "fd" command.
    When fd command is available, can i write our datas which by taking from ethernet line, to the flash which in EM1000 easily?

    Best Regards

    Great Job Tibbo Last reply on March 26, 2008 10:53.

    I have spent some time with your TIDE and EM1000 products. I have been an embedded developer my whole carrier, and have had a chance to play with many systems, module and processors and compilers.
    it is my opinion that you guys have created the best platform hardware and software that i have had a chance to play with!!! I just wanted to start out by saying that TIBBO did an awesome job!

    Unfortunately, the speed of the EM1000 is to slow for my everyday projects. Now that the WA1000 came out and the throughput is ~90kbps, it too is also to slow for my projects. I do want to make a point to anyone reading this that these products are fast and quite capable for most users, do not take my comments to mean that these products are slow. i am one of the select groups of people that need more speed for their applications. i would highly recommend Tibbo's products to anyone.

    I can see by how you guys are doing things that you are really going to shine as a company to the embedded world. now that you have Wi-Fi ability things should really take off for you.

    My only suggestion is once the smoke clears, and you start looking for other things to do, please consider a new platform to where the speed is considerably faster than the current EM1000. and also a new TIDE that is for C code and not basic. i fully beleive that if you implement these features you should have no problem being a major competitor over many of the other markets like Netburner, Zilog and rabbit. to name a few.

    Keep up the great work! it's been fun playing with the EM1000 buti must leave it an go back to my old ARM platform as i need the speed. If you ever come out with a faster system please let me know and i will be more than happy to jump back in.

    WA1000 Wi-Fi board Throughput Rate Last reply on March 25, 2008 12:57.

    I am very interested in the new Wi-Fi product. What i need to know before making a decision to use this in a new project of our is the throughput rate.
    I.E. if i want to download a file to it what is the maximum throughput rate i can send a file to it?

    sock.setdata, what is the max length in the quotes. Last reply on March 25, 2008 01:42.

    what is the maximum amount of characters that can be placed inside the quotes for sock.setdata("??")
    I noticed that when you get over a certain number of chars it does not include them
    It would be nice for the compiler to recognise this problem and warn the user that they have exceeded to many characters in the sock.setdata param.

    English in the forum, and posting guidelines Last reply on March 20, 2008 11:03.

    Hi everybody,

    I just wanted to make a couple of points about us (Tibbo guys) posting here:

    1) None of us are native English speakers, and we have varying levels of proficiency in the language. We've made a decision to all pitch in and say what we have, and some of our English is not perfect.

    We think it's better to say what we each personally think, and be transparent, than to use "perfect" English in this forum.

    Which leads me to...

    2) This forum is informal. Just in case this has to be spelled out: None of the positions and statements made here are Tibbo's formal policy or position, unless explicitly marked so (as "Official Reponse" in the system).

    We're just here as people, because we care about Tibbo customers and we care about what we do.
