Need to program start address for Ren48LSD - Renard Protocol

[Xenia]

I want to program a start address for use with an Xbee for my Ren48LSD to use with DIYC Floods using Renard protocol. I have checked the wiki, Library, and did a forum search. Based on all of this can I start with the Renard-20090915.asm,

Make the following changes:

#define PWM_build 1 – change from '0'
#define DC_build 1 – change from '0'
#define CTR_LOCKOUT 1 – change from '15';
#define OUTPUT_NEGATIVE_TRUE – comment this out

Set my start address (In my case the first flood is channel 57 so my start address (57-1)/8 = 7)

Then compile the asm code into a hex file. Will this work correctly or am I missing something.

As always thanks for the help!

Nope, not missing anything. Looks good.

Just make sure the rest of the PICs on the board have the "normal" firmware that doesn't have a start address set. It's just the first PIC that needs this.

Dave, thanks!

Mark, I already programmed the other five pics with the Ren48LSD hex file in the library but I appreciate the reminder.

well maybe that is what i did wrong, i programmed all pics with the start code. so i just program the first one with the start address and then the rest are the normal code?

Yeah, only put the start address on the first PIC in the line.

As long as all the rest had a START_ADDR of 0, I don't think you would have any issues.

I use start address in every PIC with address zero, changing the address only for the first PIC. I like the consistency of using the same code.

Same here and while I'm at it I set aside compiled versions for all start addresses my channel count covers so later I just need to reflash vs compile and reflash.

I use the start address for all of mine, just changing the address for the first. I use the same firmware for all and just edit the address in the eeprom using the pickit software. That way I dont have to recompile every time.
