No, I don't quite understand where the question is coming from. But, I don't think many people with email addresses like one of mine (kmr@debian.org) have worked for MS.

That'd be nice! But, I'd rather work on AVR programming than adding HTTP access. I'm still awaiting a decision from Atmel about whether I can incorporate data from their .xml part files to extend the calculator into an AVR Part Explorer.

Oh, I see, John. Since so many vendors now have automated updates, I didn't tie the question back to MS :oops:

Hi Kevin,

I think that your zip file is corrupt....

Nick, you are exactly correct. I reuploaded and verified the MD5 hash of the .zip file. Would you mind retrying?

Hi Kevin,

Yes. It works. Thanks.
Oh, can I make a request about pwm's.

I calculated the freq and duty cycle using OCRA/B of timer0. It would be nice if your program could optimize it for the the best possible solution. That is, maximizing the amount of pwm steps available for a certain freq using a certain prescale.

Oh, FMUL crashes

Thanks for the info, Nick. Interesting suggestion about optimizing for duty cycle flexibility.

Uh oh, FMUL -- that shouldn't be there, yet :smile: I'll upload a new version soon with that non-yet finished tab removed.

Nice tool Kevin... what library are you using for the windows/linux compatability? Is there a Mac version (I can compile if necessary)

Writing code is like having sex.... make one little mistake, and you're supporting it for life.

I'm having trouble getting this to run with Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. I have installed the motif3 package as the readme suggests but when I run I get this:

./kavrcalc

Error: Could not register handle for external module X-UTILITIES::CAPIX11:
 libXm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
  1 (abort) Quit process.

Type :b for backtrace, :c

Any idea what causes this?

libmotif3 installs libXm.so.3. You need motif version 2. I see that Ubuntu 7.10 has a lesstif2 package which should have the library that you need.

Hi glitch, thanks. I'm using Lispworks ( http://www.lispworks.com ). There is a Mac compiler available, but I have not purchased it.

If there are any Mac Lispworks owners around, send me PM so we can work on making a Mac binary.

I took a look... there is a free eval/non-commercial use version, if one can live with the time limits. Other than that, it's a bit too pricy for my blood.

Indeed, though that free eval version does not allow the creation of binary executables.

pricey
The Mac version is to me as well since I don't use Macs very much. OTOH, I use the Linux and Windows versions of Lispworks quite a bit so the benefit/cost ratios are quite favorable to me on those platforms.
