    Default newbe wants to store in 16f887 eeprom help

    I am using a DTMF decoder with the 16f887 chip. The decoder circuit works great which and simply runs a program, and that works great. is there a statement that can tell the e prom in the 16f887 chip to run a goto routine r something like that. I want the e prom to hold this in memory forever and always run this new routine. then upon another DTMF command, it will go back to the normal routine that it started with. The DTMF part of this is solved. But cannot figure the e prom storage part of it. Thanks Leon

    What about GOSUB the special routine IF you get that DTMF command, ELSE GOSUB the regular routine?

    You can add more routines in the IF later for extra DTMF commands.

    I suspect you need SELECT CASE in the program not the eprom space which is used for DATA storage.

    I'm guessing you are using the tones as a control method. So you want a single tone or combination of tones to do something.

    You need to save the output of the tone decoder to a variable then use the variable result to Select Case . Each CASE can have the code you want to run.

    It's in the PBP manual.

    Eeprom is useful if your device powers down and up and you want continuity in your logic.

    Store your variable to eeprom before shutting down,then read it after power up and return it in a variable.

    Hi Demon, sounds like you are smart. What you are explaining makes sense. Yes, the DTMF decoder output goes to 4 ports of the 16f877. It is easy to do, If portx and portx and portx and portx=1 then decode or something like that. I do have the DTMF decoder and chip to work great. But I am trying to learn how to write the basic code to get the eprom to store this and turn on a port that will always
    upon 16f887 power up (once activated)will always turn on this port until a different(reset) DTMF code is received. Once the reset DTMF code is received, this port will not turn on up power up. I have tried with no success to get this to work. Any help on code to do this. Point me in the right direction. Thanks so much, Leon

    I know I'm not smart enough but here's a small program i wrote to generate frequencies.

    Note that it reads and stores values both previous and new values to eeprom.

    Code:
