Includes a new DS1672.h driver file.  A 32-Bit Binary Counter clock.  Documentation and sample  programs are also available.   Supports hardware and software I2C.  See the demonstration examples of the GCB clock code.

Another driver and code has been posted.  A new DS1337.h driver file.   Easy to use Real Time Clock. Documentation and sample  programs are also available.   Supports hardware and software I2C.  

Another driver and code has been posted.  A new DS2482.h driver file.   This DS2482-100 and the DS2482-800 driver supports the eight function commands that fall into four categories: device control, I2C communication for 1-Wire setup, and 1-Wire communication.   This driver expands the Dallas 1-Wire support to multiple devices via I2C.

A new release.  It has been a busy winter so far!

• Lots of new drivers and code has been posted.  A revised LCD.H driver file.   Revised handling of printing Hex strings, improved cursor handling, new backlight controls.  Thank you William Roth.A revised DS1307.h  driver file.  Easier to use Real Time Clock , better documentation, plus sample  programs are also available.   Supports hardware and software I2C.  
• A new DS3231.h  driver file.  Easier to use Real Time Clock but with two alarms, better documentation, plus sample  programs are also available. Supports hardware and software I2C.
• A new MCP7940N.h  file.  Easier to use Real Time Clock but with two alarms, better documentation, plus sample  programs are also available. Supports hardware and software I2C.
• A new Nokia PCD8544.h driver file.  A mono GCB driver for Nokia displays.  All the standard GCB graphics controls  - lines, box, circles etc.

• A revised Help File with lots of new information.  See the online version for the latest information.

A new version of the GCB@Syn  IDE for Great Cow BASIC.  This IDE is maintained by Frank Steinberg and this release now contains the release dated 13/05/2014.  This contains all the latest drivers, Help File etc.  This is a great way to get a complete download of Great Cow BASIC. 

Those who've been reading the forum and checking the Latest Build page will already know this, but GCBASIC now has almost full support for AVR microcontrollers. Don't count on it for anything important just yet, but if you'd like to try programming an AVR with GCBASIC, please give it a go. If you find a bug, please let us know on the forum. You can obtain the latest build from the Download page, or from the Latest Build page.

The other news is that a completely new program has been released. Great Cow Graphical BASIC is an open source icon based editor for GCBASIC programs. Drag and drop the icons to make up a GCBASIC program, then send it to your PIC or AVR. Find out more about it from the About GCGB page, or download it from the Download page. It's still under development and is at the alpha stage, any bug reports or suggestions are most welcome at the forum.

• A revised support file for I2C in now available.  This improves performance for software I2C.
• A revised DS1307.H file.  Easier to use, better documentation, plus sample  programs are also available.
• A revised EPPROM.H file.  Now supports writing/reading bytes, strings and array to I2C Serial EEPROM devices.
• A new DS18DS20.H file.  Supports three different ways of reading temperature from these inexpensive devices
•  A revised I2C.H header file.  Supports Master mode and Slave mode with vastly improved documentation  in this header file.
•  A revised FRAM.H EEPROM header file.  Support for this blinding fast I2C Serial EEPROM devices.
• A revised LCD.H file.   Much improved in terms of speed – this is a must have include file.  New commands also – LCDDisplayOn  and LCDDisplayOff.
• New  support for  EEPROMs and improved  I2Csupport  via the MSSP hardware module.  The revised EEPROM driver not supports software and hardware I2C.   The new include EEPROM.H generalise with parameters to allow connection to multiple EEPROMs simultaneously and the revised HI2C.H file improves the I2C support by use of the MSSP module.  The new EPPROM.H file.   Removes unneeded or redundant code, greatly condensed the array write command in particular, renamed page commands to reflect they are actually array/string commands, reduced local variables to only two bytes, commented the code throughout to make improvements easier and eliminated reliance on the "Utils.h" include file renamed parameters to be consistent.  Great job  - Thomas Henry and Anobium.
• A revised EPPROM.H file.  Now supports writing/reading bytes, strings and array to I2C Serial EEPROM device.
• Another revision to the Great Cow Online Help, see Online Help.  We will keep this online version up to date, so let us have your recommendation and changes.  New information added, please see the Change Section for more details.
