Button subfunction 16F628

[Jųan]

Here I go again :-)

I am trying to display some values on an lcd. One that counts from 10 to 20 using up\down buttons. And when I press RB1 the lcd counts from 80 - 90 using the same up\down. I created the dummy functions because I found that having these allowed me to hold the button and have continous incrementation\decrementation (see code below). Ive connected RA4 and RA1 to ground.

My problem is that I want to solely increment\decrement num2 without interfering with num1. The other problem is that when I press RB1 to go num2 mode, the lcd counts up on its own. If anyone has a look at my grubby code and sees what Im trying to do and where Im doin wrong, can you shead some light please?

Muchas Gracias


Juan

Hi Jųan,

The problem might be related to re-using variables in the BUTTON commands.

Button PORTA.7,1,200,255,B0,1,incNum
Button PORTA.6,1,200,255,B1,1,decNum
Button PORTA.4,1,200,255,B0,1,dummy1
Button PORTA.1,1,200,255,B1,1,dummy2
Button PORTB.1,1,200,255,B2,1,number2Setup

Within any single loop each BUTTON command must have it's own variable to count the passes, and that variable can't be used anywhere else in the program.<br><br>

[Jųan]

Thanks for your reply Darrel, I tried that but the auto repeat function didnt work when using unique Bvariables. Also the displayNum2 still counted on its own. I have attached a diagram of how I've connected the switch.

[Darrel Taylor]

Did you make ALL of the button commands use a separate variable? There are 8 button commands, you should have B0-7 variables.

Also, try putting a CLEAR statement at the top of the program. According to the manual... The variable must be initialized to 0 prior to use.<br><br>

[Jųan]

Bingo Bango!

Yes I placed the Bvariables inside the corresponding loop. This allowed me to get rid of the dummy file call. Thanks Darrel, much appreciated!
