please help i want to shiftout numbers from 0 to 9 .i used data eeprom it works good but it pause at 0 , now i want to use lookup or somthi9ng without saving data in eeprom .i want to shift out numbers to the leds using ic 74hc 164.it works when i use this (data @ 0,252,96,218,242,102,182,190,224,254,246) but i want to use lookup or other way not to save in the eeprom please
this my code but doesnt work it sends unknown digit .

end

Looks as if you almost got it, move your lookup routine up in your code to somewhere before the shiftout statement.

Include "modedefs.bas"

B2 var byte
B1 var byte

SDO VAR PortB.0
SCLK var PortB.1
portB = 0 'set port latches low prior to tris
TRISB = 0 'set all portB as outputs
porta = %0000111 'set this way because ???
'SCLK = 8

b1 = 0
b2 = 0
main:
for b1 = 0 to 9 + 1
lookup2 b1,[252,96,218,242,102,182,190,224,254,246],b2 'these numbers i want to shoutout them to the leds from 0 tro 9

SHiftOUT SDO,SCLK,0,[b2]

pause 1000

next b1

goto main

I changed your vars to byte as the were all less than 0 to 255
I cleared the vars before the main loop

Hello malwww,
If you have been following other threads, you have seen a similar one to yours. If you are using byte variables only then use lookup instead of lookup2 as the code is 1/3 as big and you can use a table of up to 255 choices. Lookup2 gives only 85 choices, which can be byte or word variables.

GOOD ! Glad you have it working the way You want it.
Now I am curious, what are you making? I am guessing
you intend to do more than store 0 - 9 in the eeprom.
There are dozens of examples here to do something similar
to what you have in mind, whatever it is. Google can search
just this forum if you use this link.

Hi malwww,
are you using the eeprom in this counter or just a display? Are you wanting to load count into eeprom and then display the results or just count to 9999? Am I correct in assuming SDO & SCLK are for the display ?

It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, overflow your counter variable into another variable and sort @ display time using the DIG statement. Look at this thread to see how, post #9 is where I posted the code to which I refer. http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9037

I buy 4 digit displays from http://www.sureelectronics.net/ , usually through their eBay store. For about 15 US you get an spi display that works exactly with the code in your lookup table and it is about 32mm tall, 1 1/2 inches tall. These displays can be hooked together using cables supplied with them to make several digit displays. BTW, God helps us every day, that's why we do not starve.

You need to put in the REQUIRED code to disable analog stuff for your chosen PIC too or it will not do the digital dance. You need to define the TRISA values to make the proper ports inputs or outputs.

OK I am not clear on what you want to do. Are you still wanting to retrieve your lookup from external eeprom? Because that is way more code than pulling it out of your main chip. Look at my tachometer code. I stored those values in the on chip eeprom, but I could have just as easily used a lookup table in code space, the primary immediate advantage to storing it in eeprom, is if you change to a different display you can easily change the eeprom data, to match.

thank you joe, the problem i have is not lookup or eeprom or lcd,the problem is when i put variables the code doesnt works, like when i put the variables with the code above. i have problem when the pic start it losts betweenm the main shiftout and the variable so it doesnt work bcz im pausing the variable 1000 and shiftout is too fast so can i see the numbers on lcd ,the lcd and numbers shown good but just i add any variables it doesnt work or shift out things , i use pic 16f84 i think it hasnt analog stuff , thank you joe for your best

OK, it took some hair pulling as I am not really good with arrays.
here is a sample as to how to do this. What you want to do is load the variable with the value to display, and display that digit, then do the next and the next. Using an array to hold the value:

Goldfish var byte ' cause it's late and I am tired
Digit var byte[4] ' 4 variables all named digit, an array
index var byte ' a counting variable
displays var word ' from the program
digit_output var byte 'from the program
' this code changed from program
loop:
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS dig 0 ' Load Thousands Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.0 ' Convert and Load Thousands Variable
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS DIG 1 ' Load Hundreds Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.1 ' Convert and Load Hundreds Variable
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS DIG 2 ' Load Tens of Units Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.2 ' Convert and Load Tens Variable
DIGIT_OUTPUT = DISPLAYS dig 3 ' Load Ones of Units Digit
READ DIGIT_OUTPUT, DIGIT.3 ' Convert and Load Units Variable
' notice the digits were changed to reflect the array variable name
'here is where we do the magic
for index = 0 to 3 ' loop 4 times
Goldfish = digit[index] ' load goldfish with the digit values
shiftout SDO,SCLK,4,[Goldfish\8] ' send the values to display
portC.0[index] = 1 ' here we energise each display digit in sequence
PAUSEUS 900 ' this number alters the brightness verses display flash rate
PORTC=0 ' this blanks the numbers between loading data so it does not read 8888
next index ' select the next digit
GOTO LOOP

you notice the word index in red, this syncronizes the digit selection on portc with the data being shifted out.

thnk u joe i will try it out and try to pull some hair with it,lol
