Dear Microchip Customers,

It is with pleasure that we announce a new initiative that serves to help you in your dsPIC Code Development Efforts.

We now provide code examples (abbreviated CE) on our website.
These code examples are complete MPLAB IDE projects/workspaces that are self-contained, requiring no files outside the provided zip file.
Each code example has a brief description provided in a Readme.txt file or an associated PDF file. Further, comments in source code should aid in understanding the purpose of the example.

The code examples are written primarily in C. The examples are written so that the source code may be easily re-used by you in your project.

The link on the website is:

GREAT NEWS!

Thank you Microchip.
as allways you have again showed your commitment to the users of your products Great well done

I am trying to compile the example code CE005 provided by the microchip website but the following error occurs:

F:\Project\CE005_FIR_DSP_lib_Filter\CE005_FIR_DSP_lib_Filter\gld\p30f6014a.gld:1: undefined symbol `__reset' referenced in expression

Can you help me with this matter? The readme.txt file supplied seems rather brief would it be possible to send me a more detailed version of how to use this program?

This error occurs when the project is unable to find the C start-up library libpic30-coff.a.
This should be located in the lib folder if you unzip with folder structure preserved. I would not have expected this error to occur and I am not able to replicate it. Please let me know if this fixes your issue.

cheers,
Rishi Vasuki

Dear Microchip Customers,

While the MPLAB IDE projects provided with the code examples are set up for a specific dsPIC30F device, the projects are easily reconfigured to use a different dsPIC device. Simply, change the device linker script, device include file so you can build the project for another dsPIC30F device.

Any chance of getting more examples in ASM30? Not everyone uses C or has a compiler and there appear to be a number of differences in the directives for ASM30 assembler.

Thanks for the input. Currently C examples seem to be in higher demand because we have a free student edition of the C30 compiler posted. However, in my experience writing dsPIC assembly, I found its instruction set quite friendly so will take this as feedback that there is a world of users out there who want Assembly examples.

Hi All,
 
Please watch for an update that enhances CE018 and fixes a bug in CE016.
 
Thanks,

Hi!
Is it possible that Microchip posts more examples in C30 for dsPIC? I am particulary interested in motor control (sensorless BLDC, V-f =const. for IM,...).
 
Also, some examples with oversampling, overmodulation, decimation, USB communication with dedicated chips (e.g. from FDTI company)would be of great importance for real design problems.
 
Regards.
