As you can see, the interface is very similar to that of the original versions of easyC, but with a few tweaks...

Banana Sensor?! IT'S A HINT!

(so that's what easyC looks like....no wonder the programmers like it so much)

It looks photoshoped to me

looks like the last 4 items under input are photoshoped

Well, I can rule out banana sensor as a legitimate sensor that I had just never heard off. Now the to see if its photoshoped. I have never used EasyC but can you add new sensors. If so maybe its just an added "dummy" sensor that is nothing more than a name in the list.

Ha! The last four inputs may very well be "red herrings" but they DO exist and comply with the many rumors flying around. The depth sensor and sonar emitter are very much water based types of sensors, but can also be used on dry land. The banana sensor (try Google) can actually be used to detect bending...perhaps an interesting addition to this years kit? In any event, I am always pleased to see the attention to detail CD members have! One more week to go to kickoff!

Now, Jess.........that's just cruel!!

Sonar Emitter?
Depth Sensor?
Banana Sensor?

Must mean we're dealing with water.......submarines anyone??

Did Dan give Shawn a beta copy of this code ?

Good call! I looked at it zoomed up, your right the last 4 items do look photoshoped. I have to admit the names are very creative. Banana Sensor! What an awesome name!!

Re: pic: intelitek's present to you.....a sneak peek at easyC PRO!

I just thought of this. Bananas are yellow and subs go in water and The Beatles sung Yellow Submarine. Maybe that means something.

I've never touched easyC, so I don't know this. I know a lot of flowchart -> code programs work nicely, in that direction. Say I take my hand written code and paste it into the code box. Will it make a flowchart?

I've had a chance to beta test easyC Pro, and I must say I am very impressed with the functionality. They've added more sensor support, which is cool. The camera support is done very well. There's alot of cool new things you can do with the camera in this version of easyC, but I will keep my mouth shut about that...

easyC writes C code with drag and drop blocks. This makes a flow chart of your program. In easyC Pro you can convert these flow charts to a .c file.

Ahh, so that's what the GetBanana.h file is used for...

Re: pic: intelitek's present to you.....a sneak peek at easyC PRO!

I realize that, but can I convert my .c files into flowcharts?

Re: pic: intelitek's present to you.....a sneak peek at easyC PRO!

Mike: No easyC can't do that, but its a very good idea.

art: Yep, thats exactly what thats for.
You should check out API.h I'm sure you can find some calls in there.

unsigned int GetSonar(unsigned char echo, unsigned char ping);
void StartSonar(unsigned char echo, unsigned char ping);
void StopSonar(unsigned char echo, unsigned char ping);

unsigned int GetBanana(unsigned char port);

Awww, Jess, you weren't supposed to start giving away all the surprises yet. Well, at least you didn't mention anything about the altimeter.

Oooops.

The ability to convert into .c files would be nice... ^.^

I think it'll be nice to program simple stuff here in easy-c pro, and then add in advanced stuff with normal coding. That's just my personal opinion though.

easyC Pro now has a full featured C editor with syntax highlighting.

Re: pic: intelitek's present to you.....a sneak peek at easyC PRO!

Does this mean we will be able to type in our own code without going through all of the menus?

p.s. A timer function would be really nice to have.

Re: pic: intelitek's present to you.....a sneak peek at easyC PRO!

That's exactly what we were going for. Beginners can still use the blocks, and more advanced programmers can quickly drop in the major components, switch to C, and then customize it any way they like. This makes the programming process much faster.

It also allows for a graduation of programmers from using easyC blocks to writing their own code. easyC isn't a replacement for C code, but it makes the process of learning and programming much easier.

Re: pic: intelitek's present to you.....a sneak peek at easyC PRO!

easyC has had a timer function since version 1.0. If you look under program flow, one of the blocks says "timers". Simply drag it in, start the timer and drag another timer block into your program when you wish to retrieve a value from it. A plethora of information can be found about timers in the help file. Of course, timers will also be available if you wish to write your own code in the easyC C code editor.
