Re: memory full

Yeah, lots of repeating code there...
For starters, move the LCDOUT commands to a subroutine.
Unless you're running HSEROUT at 150baud or something you can most likely remove the PAUSE 5 after...

Re: memory full

Are you repeating the same code 30 times since the messages differ? Then, possibly, you could be facing this issue as strings gobble up memory pretty fast.

I would look at the feasibility of...

Re: LCDOUT command followed by variable data

I would be too worried about it, afaics it's totally undocumented for pbp and if you don't do much asm work you may rarely come across its usage

LCDOUT command followed by variable data

Sorry for my dumb question!

I'm mixing things up between PBP and another programming language where the semicolon supresses the CR/LF (Liberty Basic).

Sorry... :o

Re: LCDOUT command followed by variable data

comments begin with an apostrophe or a semicolon, so its a blank comment

LCDOUT command followed by variable data

Thanks a lot Richard!

I should have first, but I totally forgot to give a...
