I am using the 32bit version.

I fear the Lubuntu team have removed some files from the distro that where originally in the ubuntu build...

Hi Freebasic specialists, I have been using Freebasic for years already on Windows, and I like it. It has enough familiarity with Qbasic to make me find my way easily. Problem is that I am trying to install Freebasic (0.23) on Lubuntu Oneric Ocelot (11.10). And without success so far. If I look at t...

Hi W_samsa,

tried it, but doe not work. It loops some 10 or 12 times, and then exits with a segmentation fault.

Any other idea's ?

P.S. I compiled chisock again, with and without -mt flag, does not change anything. I am using freebasic 0.21.1

I am trying to use chisock to establish a TCP connection to a signal generator. The generator has IP adress 192.168.1.11 and uses port 5025. I am using a Windows XP os, and have the generator wired via a cross cable. The communication is pure text based (SCPI). Question-answer protocol. No need for ...

Hi Vince, My setup contains a scope (COM2 @ 38k4 baud) and a waveform generator (ethernet 192.168.1.11 that uses port 5025). The IP adress is free programmable in the generator, so pick any. The port for SCPI control of the generator is fixed. SCPI is a text based control language for intruments. Ma...

I am trying to have a PC running XP control a waveform generator and read out an oscilloscope. The waveform generator is connected via ethernet (cross cable), and I can talk to it using hyperterminal under windows XP (select TCP). The oscilloscope is connected via RS232, and I can talk to it using h...

OK, that works. If I print @MyHandle, I get the same value all the time. But still I can't get the FT245BM to accept the second command. TJF, could there be a mismatch between the dll you used to derive the bi file from, and the one on my system ?? The version on my PC is 2.08.02. But in Windows I s...

Hi Scottinmt and TJF, I am not sure what is happening here, but it seems like Freebasic is modifying memory. Look at following code snippet: ' test FTDI USB interface #include "ftd2xx-2.08.02-1_TJF.bi" Dim FT_Status As UInteger Dim FT_NumDev As UInteger Dim MyHandle As FT_HANDLE Dim Shared...

Hi TJF, Your new header file copiles, and I am getting somewhere (it seems). Am using Geany (not the portable version yet) and have configured as per your proposal. It works. Have run into another problem though..... (this is my code so far) ' test FTDI USB interface #include "ftd2xx-2.08.02-1_...

Hi TJF, I'll give Geany a try... For now I used your (published) .BI file, and get 1 compiler error: Command executed: "C:\FreeBasic\fbc.exe" "C:\FreeBASIC\examples\ftdi\ftdi_001.bas" Compiler output: C:\FreeBASIC\examples\ftdi\ftd2xx-2.08.02_TJF.bi(423) error 56: Illegal specifi...

Hi TJF,

Does Geany support the freebasic language set (coloring) for the 0.21.1 compiler version ? If that is the case, I would prefer it over FBIDE.

Volhout

Hi TJF, Thanks for helping so fast. I was amazed !. I upgraded the compiler to the latest, used your .BI files, and it starts to work (adding functionality while experimenting). But I seem to be stuck again, and could use your advise. See below code: If FT_GetDeviceInfoList(@DevInfo,@FT_NumDev) = FT...

When I compile the main program that includes your ftdi.bi it immediatly starts with compiler errors. Apparently it does not understand #LANG When I comment this out, then it starts generating errors about the next line EXTERN "C". Here is the first detailed compiler error. Command execute...

Hi guys, I want to add some GPIO to a netbook with only USB. The FT245BM seems a simple solution. Read through some threads, and have been able to generate the dll.a file from the dll, but I am not sure how to create the ftdi.bi file. This is my first project with Freebasic, so don't asume too much ...
