12F510 CALL subroutine problem ...

[LakisFM1]

Hello to all,
i am having a headache using CALL in 12F510...see that...

The PIC gets a continuous CLK in pins GPIO.3 and .4
(This is only a testing part of the full program , in order to understand what caused the full program to WDT endlessly)


So...THIS TEST CODE IS NOT WORKING...it watchdogs endlessly....

CODE/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@ DEVICE pic12F510, INTRC_OSC
@ DEVICE pic12F510, WDT_ON
@ DEVICE pic12F510, MCLR_OFF
@ DEVICE pic12F510, PROTECT_OFF

DEFINE OSC 4

IN_A VAR GPIO.4
IN_B VAR GPIO.3
OUT_A VAR GPIO.5
OUT_B VAR GPIO.1
LED VAR GPIO.5

ADCON0.6 = 0 ' A/D OFF
ADCON0.7 = 0 'A/D OFF
CM1CON0.3 = 0 'COMPARATOR OFF
OPTION_REG.5 = 0 ' TOCKI OFF

TRISIO = 00011100

MAIN_LOOP:
CLEARWDT

CALL WAIT_HI_IN_A

OUT_A = 1
OUT_B = 1

pauseus 100
OUT_A = 0
OUT_B = 0

GOTO MAIN_LOOP


WAIT_HI_IN_A:
CLEARWDT
IF IN_A = 0 THEN GOTO WAIT_HI_IN_A
return

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
/CODE


But... if i move the WAIT_HI_IN_A routine inside the mainloop ... it works! .... no WDT timeout , and pulses going out of the GPIO outputs .... what is happening?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

OUT_B = 0

I also have a second problem with the above code...
The original plan was ... "OUT_A VAR GPIO.0" , but GPIO.0 does really strange things...
i get unstable triangle voltages , so for now i use GPIO.5 instead which works fine (but pcb's have already manufactured , due to hurry )...

Hi,
CALL is used to execute an assembly subroutine (preceeded with an underscore) but it looks to me like your subroutine is written in PBP.
Try using GOSUB instead of CALL.

T H A N K S !!!! ..... THAT WAS IT!

(and solved all the problems ... including the strange behaviour of GPIO.0....)
