Caveat to the user:
nqBASIC and accompanying examples and documentation are offered free of charge to those who may find them useful. They are offered "as is", without any warranty or any claim of usability for any particular purpose. Some bugs are known to exist, and some as-yet undetected bugs may also exist. While we will make every reasonable effort to do so, there is no guarantee that these bugs will be detected and/or fixed. Use this software at your own risk. If you find it unsuitable for your needs in its present form, you are advised not to use it.
Note to users of 64-bit Windows Operating Systems
The nqBASIC registration process is not compatible with 64-bit OS (Vista, Win7, etc.) at this time. We are working toward a resolution in future versions.
v6.7: PTAD pins do not work as digital inputs. They can only be used as analog inputs and digital outputs. The LCD_Hex function may only be called one time. A field defined in a structure following an array object results in a syntax error (workaround: make the array object the last item in the structure). These issues will be fixed in the next release, expected in late June 2011.
v6.7: The SPI bug was fixed, and the API document has been updated. For the latest online documentation, click here.
v6.7: If an object is defined using a single character, the compiler will interpret any variables beginning with that character as an object instead of a variable. An error will result. Workaround: when defining instances of objects, make sure to use names with more than one character (e.g. instead of dim L as new LCD use something like dim DISPLAY as new LCD)
v6.6: Documentation Error:
The PDF document entitled nqBASIC API that was included in the v6.6 distributable is missing pin parameters. This document is located on your PC in the folder C:\Program Files\nqBASIC\docs. Replace it with the corrected version by right-clicking and saving the following link to C:\Program Files\nqBASIC\docs on your PC: http://support.technologicalarts.ca/docs/nqBASIC/nqBASIC%20API.pdf
Additional documents are now available, and can be downloaded to the same folder from http://support.technologicalarts.ca/docs/nqBASIC/
v6.6: Problem with SPI object:
There is a known bug in the SPI_Setup function, which is preventing other SPI functions from working.
