DT-ints and elapsed timer compilation errors.

[jmgelba]

Hi Guys,

I'm having some compiler issues when trying to create a program around DT's interrupts and elapsed timer. In the below code, if I comment out
@ INT_ENABLE TMR1_INT ; Enable Timer 1 Interrupts then the program will compile.



INCLUDE "DT_INTS-18.bas"
INCLUDE "ReEnterPBP-18.bas"
INCLUDE "Elapsed_INT-18.bas" ; Elapsed Timer Routines

ASM
INT_LIST macro ; IntSource, Label, Type, ResetFlag?
INT_Handler TMR1_INT, _ClockCount, PBP, yes
endm
INT_CREATE ; Creates the interrupt processor
ENDASM


@ INT_ENABLE TMR1_INT ; Enable Timer 1 Interrupts

'GOSUB ResetTime ' Reset Time to 0d-00:00:00.00
'GOSUB StartTimer ' Start the Elapsed Timer



This is the error dump MPLAB produces if I do not comment out that line.


ERROR: Unable to execute mpasmwin.Warning[205] C:\USERS\LAPTOP1\DOCUMENTS\MCS\94700-1 DUAL UV.ASM 2062 : Found directive in column 1. (endm)

Any idea what I may be missing?

18F1320, int osc at 8MHZ, PBP 2.6A, MPLAB IDE 8.20a

some spaces this



ASM
INT_LIST macro ; IntSource, Label, Type, ResetFlag?
INT_Handler TMR1_INT, _ClockCount, PBP, yes
endm
INT_CREATE ; Creates the interrupt processor
ENDASM

as the error msg says " Found directive in column 1. (endm)"
should be


ASM
INT_LIST macro ; IntSource, Label, Type, ResetFlag?
INT_Handler TMR1_INT, _ClockCount, PBP, yes
endm
INT_CREATE ; Creates the interrupt processor
ENDASM

Oh wow, thanks! I didn't realize it was so tabulation sensitive. This removed a few errors but still a couple left to clear. I'm thinking of commenting out that area of the include as it pertains to functions this pic doesn't have.

won't help at all

the assembler gets a bit picky about old stuff like dt ints these days if coff generation is enabled.
coff is now pretty much useless for pbp since it is no longer supported in mplabx for source level debugging

Richard, I'm impressed! You are noting things I never knew! I don't use ancient PICs like the 18F1320, but never would have guessed your answer. Nice work, and thanks for sharing your wisdom.

[jmgelba]

I'm using old stuff :biggrin: I don't see an option to enable or disable generation of COFF files in this super old version of MCS+. 3.0.0.1 I think, MPLAB is 8.20a, mpasm is 5.30, and pbp is 2.60a.

if its not there then u need an upgrade

Jmgelba, your join date is 2004, which means you aren't green (new). Like anything, Microchip has evolved with newer PIC offerings sporting more power, more Peripherals, and at cheaper prices. MCP abandoned MPLAB in favor of MPLABX. PBP3 has evolved. Even the dated dtInts has evolved, thanks to contributions from the community. The software versions you are using are extremely outdated. To upgrade to the current PBP3.1 software will cost you $50 US. However, upgrading to the last version of PBP3.0 is free. PBP3.x works with MPLABX v5.35 or older. Is there a reason you have not taken advantage of these free upgrades?? Many folks in the past have been pleasantly surprised by how many of their challenges were magically solved just by updating their software. Give it a try and let us know if it helps at all.

There has to be something else going on too. I'm using software that was used when these interrupts where first written. I did just upgrade to the free 4.0.0.0 version of MCS+ so I'll try that. No option to not generate a COFF though.

I haven't touched a pic in years. I really don't do much with firmware at all. I'm completely out of date, have no skills, and forgot all the stuff I learnt a decade ago. All I want to do is run a timer for 60, 90, or 120 seconds while monitoring a pin for a high to low transition that stops the timer and jumps to a different location in the program. Should be super simple but I'm dumb and crazy busy with other stuff.

I'll take a look around for that 3.0 free upgrade.

In addition to the forums, ME Labs offers this:

So I got a copy of PBP3, MCS4, MPLABX IDE 5.50, and yeah, same result. Plus a whole bunch of other issues such as programmer issues (fixed) makefile issues (not fixed) MCS not connecting to MPLAB correctly (not fixed.)
I have upended a setup that's created several programs and programmed hundreds of chips, only to be worse off than before lol.
