    Default 2 didit up down counter using 16F628A program errors

    HI I have been trying for a long time now I have downloaded a program from a site years ago for a 2 digit up down counter they give several versions of the prg. But I cannot get any to work I keep getting(( label redefinition error) it wont go past that point has any body tried this prg it is still on the web but no help I hope someone can either figure it out or tell me what to do as I would really like to get this prg working I am going to try to upload it here Thanks for any help Ray PS if you would like to see the site go to 2digit updn counter with 7 segment display at talking electronics

    you realize thats assembler code not pbp code . it wont compile like that in pbp

    Hi Thanks but it says in the instructions that it is programed with pick-2 which I have also I have mplab
    it also gives me the same errors ,Can you lead me to how I can get the pic code version
    I would like it for the micro studio programmer version As I would like to alter it to start counting at 15
    I want to use it for my antenna tower counting how high the tower is as im raising it
    Thanks for the info sure do apricate it Ray

    I have downloaded a program from a site years ago for a 2 digit up down counter they give several versions of the prg.

    I would like it for the micro studio programmer version

    you have downloaded the wrong version then , you have a {machine code } asm version

    but it says in the instructions that it is programed with pick-2 which I have
    all pic compilers will produce A HEX intel object code output file that programmers like a
    pickit2 can use , that means nothing really

    But I cannot get any to work I keep getting(( label redefinition error)
    the code you have posted will build in mplabx 2.35 in a properly configured asm project
    if you :-
    fix the config section {needs to be uppercase}.
    don't try to redefine cmcon and status.
    refer to all registers using uppercase [CMCON,STATUS,OPTION_REG],mplabx in standard configuration is case sensitive

    if you have a pbp version then post it

    Thanks Richard I have tried the prg in mplab it gave me errors I,ll go over the files like you said I did get one of them to work in mplab the one with the dice but I don't want that one
    Here is a copy of the pbp version as you requested thank you for the help you are giving me
    I don't know anything about machine code also my age is a factor im currently 92 yrs old
    cant do the things I used to Ray
    I had to zip the file I wont let me up load the pnp file

    I had a look a http://www.talkingelectronics.com/te...ive_index.html
    where it seems you got the code from. there is no pbp version its all asm. puting a pbp extension on a asm file will not convert asm code to pbp code

    this compiles for me with mpasm 5.36 , i have preloaded counter to 15

    Richard
    I tried yesterday and deleted all my old files from the talking electronics site then download a new ASM file and used the mplab ver8.9 wizard this time
    and lo and behold it worked. But my biggest surprise is when I just logged on to this site I saw that you had also compiled the prg
    then you also went ahead and pre set it for me Boy I don't know how to thank you enough Rich you made my day Thank you again and again Ray

    Hi guys its me again thanks for all the kind words really apricate it I have been going nuts I cannot get the chip programmed I have 3 types of programmers pickit3 mplab ICD2 and melabs usb none of them want to program the chip

    they all come up with device not found it says it dosent have power to the chip to be programed so I checked first with pickit3 yes no power at the connection site so I went into the programmer configure setup turned the power to device on checked voltage
    I had 5 volts went to program again same message checked no voltage again then I tried mplab ICD2 same thing made sure jumper was at 5v target same massage trying to program my melabs will let me program if the file was in hex so went to mplabs to convert to hex
    every time I try to build a file it gave me the message failed it said no source files present Im at wits end I was wondering if someone could supply me with a hex file of the program may be melabs will work if hex.
    Sorry guys for the complaining

    I have 3 types of programmers pickit3 mplab ICD2 and melabs usb none of them want to program the chip they all come up with device not found
    if none of your programmers can find the chip and its connected and powered correctly then that issue needs to be resolved before you can continue.
    there is no way forward with a dud setup or chip.


    Im at wits end I was wondering if someone could supply me with a hex file of the program
    you said
    used the mplab ver8.9 wizard this timeand lo and behold it worked.
    the result of that process is a HEX intel object code output file , that's all you need for any of your programmers
    you must have a hex file already , you just need to find and use it

    trying to program my melabs will let me program if the file was in hex so went to mplabs to convert to hex
    every time I try to build a file it gave me the message failed it said no source files present
    quite correctly, there is no such process as to convert an asm file to hex with melabs anything . the melabs pbp compiler produces a intel hex object file from pbp code
    of which you have none of. the melabs programmer is perfectly happy to use the hex files produced by mplab, mpasm, mpasmwin or mplabx

    Ray,

    you said that the hex file worked! Then you ask for a hex that works. You already have that hex file.

    First you need to find why all three programmers will not connect to your chip.

    1. Maybe the chip is fried?

    2. Are you sure the connections are correct?

    3. Are you sure you have the correct chip for the specific hex file?

    Hi Guys I solved out a lot of the problems .But now I keep getting this out of date error so I downloaded the latest file of the inc files for the 16F628A chip
    but I keep getting this error can either Loannis or Richard tell me what going on.????
    I have downloaded the hex file from talking elect. and programed it to my pcb it works perfect all I need is the preset.

    PS I also downloaded the asm file from talking elect and get the same error as I got with Richards asm file
    I just cant seem to make the hex file needed to program the chip

    Sorry but I tried everything so I would not have to bother you Thanks again for ANY help

    The simplest form of the mpasm 'include' directive has the form:
    Code:
     
    include p16f628a.inc
    I think the angle brackets made part of the line drop out in richard's post, so if you try to copy that code you'll have to fix it.

    Also, depending on which version of the code you're trying to assemble you may have to turn off the 'case-sensitive' option.
    With case-sensitive on the 'config' statement has to match the settings in the .inc file exactly.
    Your copy has mixed-case, but richard's copy has it all in caps (as in the .inc file)

    And just a suggestion... if I were you I'd get rid off all the spaces in the path and filename. That just complicates things.

    I GOT IT thank to you guys everything is honky dory I thought all along it was the header then you confirmed it
    I decided to work on it so I deleted the entire header section then I went to the16F628A inc file then copied
    the entire header and config section then pasted it into the area where I had deleted the old one
    then went to mplab when I ran the complier everything perfect with no problems
    So then I programed it into the chip and it works great thanks to you guys
    So thanks to Rich and Loannis for all the ideas you did a great job I am a happy forum member Thanks again Ray
