Latest
- LCD Colour touch screen driver added to BV523 C programming project
- Forth ARM source code released Forth Site
- Coming soon: "It's BASIC Jim but not as we know it". Full floating point, semi compiled for speed, 64 bit double values for touch screen co-ordinates, load programs directly from the internet, conditional include, full documentation and tutorials.
- New forum [[1]] In its early stages, please join and add topics.
Forum:
Further information.
Products:
This is a list of all (most) of the products available. If there is any information about a particular product, data sheet, example programs etc. Then it will be in this list.
machineBASIC:
"It's BASIC Jim but not as we know it" This is an update replacement for BV_Basic *55 times faster! Can download files directly from the internet and much more. This is a complete rewrite and is a semi-compiled language but still retains all of the interactivity. ** Site is in process of being updated so any URL may move in the next few days 29/4/12
BV_Basic:
BASIC is a simple programming language that is built into the BV Range of PIC32 microcontrollers. It will not do FFT but is ideal for control and manipulation of images and the touch screen if available. It can also read and write SD Card FAT file information so makes a good companion to a PC.
Arduino:
This is a popular microcontroller and there are some BV products that support this. In this section there is a collection of libraries and some examples.
User Guides:
Some products have quite comprehensive user guides, this is a collection of those user guides. They will however also be in the products section as well.
Articles:
A collection of articles covering user interfaces, I2C, serial etc. Some of these are related to multiple products or just general interest and so will not appear in the products section.
FAQ:
Frequently asked questions: most of the FAQ topics are product specific and if there is any they will be with the product, in the products section. If there are any general FAQ then they will be here.
Downloads:
A collection of programs and resources.
Forth:
This is an external link to the BV Forth library which may still be useful. The library contains a free Forth for the ARM microcontroller and other documentation.
The following sites below may also be useful, however all of the up to date information is on this site.
- Information about the microcontroller BV-Basic software -- This is an older version of the BV_Basic section, some of the hardware information has not yet been transferred over to this site.
- This site has some articles and related information
