Compilation Errors – Code Designer Lite and PicBASIC Pro Compiler (MicroCode Studio)
Would you kindly identify the source of the compiling errors?
This program has worked before.
B. Here is the beginning of the error list.
PBP,7: undefined Variable 'TRISA'
PBP,8: undefined Variable 'TRISB'
PBP,10: ':' 'or =' Expect (Token 'VAR')
PBP,11: to 23: ':' 'or=' Expect (Token 'VAR') is repeated for lines 11 to 23
PBP,30: Undefined variable 'num_samples'
PBP,30: Undefined variable '1_threshold'
PBP,30: Undefined variable 'r_threshold'
PBP,30: Varible expected (Token 'temp')
PBP,30: Variable or Constant Expected (Token 'PORT B')
PBP,30: Illegal Character '.'
PBP,30: End of line or ':' Expected (Token ',')
PBP,30: Illegal Character '['
B. Here are the compiling steps.
1. MicroCode Studio
Go to the Project Menu
Choose “Compile and Program”
Be sure that 16F627A is selected in the Target Processor pulldown window.
2. EPIC settings in the Configuration Menu.
Oscillator: XT INTRC (IN)
Code Protection: Off
Watch Dog Timer: enabled
Power-up Timer: enabled
Brown-Out Reset: enabled
Master Clear Reset: enabled
Memory Size: 1 K
3. Open the Hexapod zip file containing the code.
4. Extract only the insect-explore.bas.
All of the other files are for experiments.
5. Open insect-explore.bas in Microcode Studio.
6. Make sure that a 16F627A chip is in the programmer.
Notch faces the Centronix connector (for parallel cable).
7. In MicroCode Studio, go to the Project Menu.
Select “Compile and Program.”
This action brings up the EPIC program.
8. Erase, and verify that the chip is clear.
Go to the Run menu and select “Program.”
C. Here is the code (Karl Williams, www.thinkbotics.com)
