Brad it looks like the attached zip file that MrDeb posted was a diptrace lib file, so the file needed to be imported into the diptrace library folder to open :) On another hand I've adjusted the lib file and your part should look something like this, the top pattern is MrDebs and the bottom one is ...

You should check out this board Papilio One - 500K FPGA, check out some of the game examples?

It even uses the Arduino IDE

In fact, I just received an order of tiny little OLED displays from buy display.com (they are so cheap!) and I also bought a couple of touch screens too. I really have no project to use them in but it's on the list of to-dos as well! I do the same Brad, I see something that looks great and I buy it...

That must be a BIG list by now!! haha....

Any chance you could post some links to downloads? The best thing to do is download Swordfish USB Library v1.4.2 that Jerry has done here. It includes microchips HID App (inc C# source), and you can also find Jerry's examples for USB, And ported Swordfish bootloader within the download file.. Note:...

I'm just trying to get my head around the boot loader. Do you load the pic with the boot loader via a pickit2 (or similar) and then what software do you use to upload hex files to the device? Yes you load the bootloader onto the chip via the icsp (pickit2), connect up a usb to the micro usb connect...

Heres an example of the first led flash programme running on the board with the bootloader uploaded. // bitfogav sf board hardware Device = 18F4550 Clock = 48 Config FOSC = HSPLL_HS, ' External 20MHz xtal PLLDIV = 5, CPUDIV = OSC1_PLL2, ' 48MHz cpu clock USBDIV = 2, ' 48MHz usb clock FCMEN = OFF, IE...

Well it's been a few weeks and I thought I would share what I have so far with this prototype board.. The pcb board arrived last week from iTeadstudio.com, and I couldn't wait to get one made up and get on with some programming and testing!. :) Some example images of the board: PCBsmall.jpg MadepcbS...

Yes indeed I have had a few people already interested in getting one! :D And I think Swordfish needs an easy to use development board. I don't think Arduino is going anywhere for awhile with the amount of add-on boards on the market so this sort of thing with the Arduino footprint should be a great ...

Hi guys, I've been working on a Swordfish board with an Arduino footprint, so it should work with Arduino/Firewing shields and DigiPixel :) It is still a work in progress so it might take a few versions to get it right. I'm thinking of using a Swordfish version bootloader, which will make it easier ...

I'll be very interested seeing your case, do you have a 3D printer? and I'm guessing your using a PIC and not an arduino for this project?.

Cool stuff, is this another prototype for kickstarter or something you may look at selling on your site Brad?

I have a few of these

brad wrote: Saimaster - you are also correct! Those are LED's, in fact they are tiny little 0402 SMD LED's and they form a 5x10 matrix. This matrix acts as the display for the device.

Brads going small with them 0402 smd's Cool project, where can I buy one? :p

Knowing Brad, led's are included somewhere!

It looks like some sort of USB current sensing device
