New PBP user

I'm a new PBP user and am porting a large program from another basic compiler.

In PBP I'm not clear as to how to fill a numeric array, then later refer to it specifically in OWOUT commands.

The code below is how it is done in the previous compiler

Sensor0 bytetable $28,$9e,$50,$1b,$00,$00,$00,$85 'DS18B20 ID code
OWOUT w1,1,[MatchROM,STR Sensor0\8,ReadScratch] 'send ID code

Can someone on the forum please jot down the equivalent PBP code here?

TIA

Hello

SensorID VAR BYTE[8] 'DS18B20 ID array

' DS18B20 ID intialization
SensorID[0] = $28
SensorID[1] = $9E

SensorID[7] = $85

For the OWOUT command, you better read about it in the manual....

bye

So then, a FOR/NEXT loop and a LOOKUP table is the most practical way to do this PBP?

for i = 1 to
LOOKUP 1, [$28,$9e,$50,$1b,$00,$00,$00,$85], sensor0
next i

your option is time consuming while looking for that value...

I'm not looking for a value, I'm just trying to load the array, so that I can subsequently refer to in my OWOUT command ("Sensor\8" indicated below).

OWOUT w1,1,[MatchROM,STR Sensor0\8,ReadScratch] 'send ID code

I am finally able to fill my string array but it is UGLY! The following code works, but it barks!

for x = 0 to 3
lookup x,["0",".","0","0"],y
RevLevString(x) = y 'load string array with "0.00"
next x
'
for x = 0 to 19
lookup x,["O","C","T"," ","2","5",","," ","2","0","0","5"," ","9",":","2","5","p","m"," "],y
RevDateString(x) = y 'load str array with "OCT 25, 2005 9:25pm"
next x

A competing product accomplishes the same thing as follows:

RevLevString bytetable "0.96"
RevDateString bytetable "OCT 01, 2005 7:25pm "

Is there a more elegant way to fill a string array in PBP?

You can also load your string by storing it in Program Codespace (several threads on this forum on this topic), or by storing it in internal or external EEPROM. Again a small For/Next Loop will accomplish the loading.
