Basic stamp code does not works.
Hello. I have the following basic stamp code:
Code:
' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
MXCS PIN 0
MXSO PIN 1
MXSCLK PIN 2
degCouple VAR Word
degCinternal VAR Word
TCtemp1 VAR Word
TCtemp0 VAR Word
faults VAR Nib
SCVfault VAR faults.BIT2
SCGfault VAR faults.BIT1
OCfault VAR faults.BIT0
DO
LOW MXCS 'chip select low
SHIFTIN MXSO, MXSCLK, MSBPRE, [TCtemp1\16,TCtemp0\16] 'shift in the data
HIGH MXCS 'chip select high
degCouple = TCtemp1 >> 2 + (-TCtemp1.BIT15 << 14) ' the last term extends the sign bit
degCinternal = TCtemp0 >> 4 + (-TCtemp0.BIT15 << 12)
faults = TCtemp0.NIB0
degCouple = (TCtemp1 >> 2) / 4
DEBUG SDEC degCouple, TAB, SDEC degCinternal, TAB, BIN3 faults
PAUSE 1000
DEBUG CLS
LOOP
Since it is not fully compatible, I've modified faults VAR Nib to faults VAR Byte, and also, instead of "DEBUG", I'm using LCDOUT.
Still does not works, returns 0 instead of temperature. When same hardware connected to BS2, the code works properly. Pinout seems to be correct. What else can be reason?
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
I'd look at syntax in these statements first:
MXCS PIN 0
SCVfault VAR faults.BIT2
Then I'd check syntax of DO/LOOP in PBP manual.

Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
What PIC are you trying to use??
What version of PBP are you compiling with?
It's good that you posted the original basic stamp code but it would also be helpful if you posted the PIC code, as modified, that you are trying to run.
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
When using stamp basic code that contains "modes" with PBP
You need to add
Code:
Include "modedefs.bas"
Or change this
Code:
SHIFTIN MXSO, MXSCLK, MSBPRE, [TCtemp1\16,TCtemp0\16] 'shift in the data
to
Code:
SHIFTIN MXSO, MXSCLK, 0, [TCtemp1\16,TCtemp0\16] 'shift in the data
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
Hello CuriousOne,
Very difficult to test this code having only 1/2 of the apparatus (for us). Here is what I would do . . . Add, include"BS2Defs.bas" change
MXCS PIN 0 . . . to MXCS var PORTx. x etc . . . Change faults = TCtemp0.nib0 to faults = TCtemp0.lowbyte & try it, you might think good thoughts of linking US to the original project so we can get where you are.
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
modedefs.bas is included. When I try to include bs2defs.bas, it gives error during compile on line next to it (no matter what is on there).

Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
not sure what ver pbp u have but
Quote:
BS1DEFS.BAS and BS2DEFS.BAS
already includes MODEDEFS.BAS. Do not include it again if one of these files is
already included. The Mode numbers may be used without including this file. Some
Modes do not have a name.
from the pbp3 manual

As per the manual, use either but not both, bs2defs IS for stamp code use.
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
Yes, as you can see, I had one of them commented, so was enabling one at a time, to check the compatibility. And even with bs2defs.bas included, compiler gives error on "Faults var nib".
I have PBP3
Hardware is PIC16F870
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
pbp3 has no var type of nibble as previously mentioned use type BYTE
are you sure that code is for a max31855 ?
because that code reads the chip temp not the THERMOCOUPLE temp
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
Yes, it works just fine on BS2. The code reads both data, I just enabled single one, to see if problem is in reading.
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
Try setting your TRIS register.
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
It took me two days to figure out :)
when connecting to BS2, I was reversing the pins, so pinout in code was correct for that code only. Everything works just fine, thanks!
Re: Basic stamp code does not works.
Well I mentionned pins in my post and I was first to reply so I'm taking credit for solving this. :D
