Hi,
I have a little problem:
Delay1 var word
DataIn var byte [12]
...........
Delay1 = Datain[3]
................
pause Delay1
Pause just work wenn Delay1 > 255 Why.
I want for Example to have a Delay sometimes 1 or 10 or 50 Milliseconds and sometime over a Second.
Its just work when Delay1 > as Byte.
How can I transform this Datain to Word.
I try with this:
Delay1.byte0 = Datain[3]
Delay1.byte1 = Datain[4]
Pause delay1
But this dont' Work.
I need Please a Help.
Thank You very mouch !!!
Ciao.
Hi,
As you figured out it won't work because DataIn[3] is a byte sized variable, it can only hold values between 0 and 255. To do what you want something like this may work:
ORCode:Delay1 = DataIn[3] * 256 + DataIn[4]
In both examples DataIn[3] is the most is the upper 8 bits, DataIn[4] is the lower 8 bits of the word sized Delay1.Code:Delay1.HighByte = DataIn[3]
Delay1.LowByte = DataIn[4]
/Henrik Olsson.
Why not DataIn VAR WORD[12] ?
Do I need more coffee again?
Or am I missing something here again?
-------------------
Why I must to multiple this with 256 I don't understand.
What I can do to have for example 1 Millisecond or 5 Millisecond with Pause.
Thanks.
Ciao.
What is the range of your values? if all of them are <255, i guess you just need to use..
Delay1=0
Delay1.LowByte=DataIn[3]
Pause Delay1
in case the range is greater than 255, Sayzer's suggestion have to work... or i miss something myself too ;)
Hi,
(I may be missing something here too, but here comes the long winded answer....)
Since you have an array of 12 bytes each byte can only hold a value between 0 and 255. If you want a delay longer than 255mS you need to, either use an array of words OR use two bytes in the byte-array to 'make' a word.
The multiply by 256 "shifts" the 8 bits in DataIn[3] to the upper 8 bits in Delay1.
Say you want a 1000mS delay. Since 1000 wont fit in a byte you'll use two bytes. 1000 in binary is 00000011 11101000 so DataIn[3] = 3 and DataIn[4] = 232.
Then when you parse it you get Delay1 = DataIn[3] * 256 + DataIn[4] which is the same as 3 * 256 + 232 = 1000.
Or the easier way:
Delay1.HighByte = DataIn[3]
Delay1.LowByte = DataIn[4]

Hi,
Thanks a lot.
But When Delay1 < 256 dont' work.
This is my Code:

My Code Work just fine wehn the Delay Value > Byte is.
But I need for Example : Pause Delay1 = 1
I Wrote a visual Basic Software where I can send this Delays values,but this work just wehn this Word Variable > 255.
Thanks.
I'm curious to see the VB program too.
Hi,
Yes I understand what you mean,but my problem ist that i want to have sometimes values that < as 255 is,for Example 1 Millisecond for My Stepping Motor.
The Visual Basic Software Work very good,all what I send I receive with my Pic,My only Problem ist that wehn I send this Chr(1) to my Word variable Delay ,dont' Work,wehn I send Chr(1) And I use the Pic Code: Delay1 = (DataIn[3] * 256) + DataIn[4] this work but I need 1 Millisecond for my Stepping Motor.
Thanks.
OK, so do a simple test, skip the HSERIN stuff and load the value in the array manually at the top of your code, then redo your tests.
Also... there's a little mistake here
Should beCode:hserin 10000,MainStart,[WAIT("!"),STR Datain\13]
I think it's on the VB side... just drop the Mscomm1.Output lineCode:hserin 10000,MainStart,[WAIT("!"),STR Datain\12]
Hi,
This is my Visual Basic Communication Code:
MSComm1.Output = "!" & Chr(Val(CmbAdresse.Text)) & Chr(0) & Chr(Val(TxtLoop.Text)) & Chr(Val(TxtDelayOn1.Text)) _
& Chr(Val(TxtDelayOn2.Text)) & Chr(Val(TxtKanal1.Text)) & Chr(Val(TxtKanal2.Text)) & Chr(Val(TxtKanal3.Text)) _
& Chr(Val(TxtKanal4.Text)) & Chr(Val(TxtKanal5.Text)) & Chr(Val(TxtKanal6.Text)) & Chr(13) & Chr(10)
Sleep 30
I need for the moment just Byte CmbAdresse.Text,Byte TxtLoop.Text,Byte TxtDelayOn1.Text,Byte TxtDelayOn2.Text.
I have 13 Bytes !
Ok I did what You told me,now I wrote direct too Delay1 = 1.
But dont work,maybe I can not use a Word variable with Pause when this Values less then 256 is.
I can not find the Answer.
EDIT: forgive me i was wrong... i'll be back!!!
Ok,
but what I dont understand is why when I write Direct in Picbasic Pro:
Delay1 = 1
.......
High PortC.0
High PortC.1
low PortC.2
low PortC.3
Pause Delay1
this dont work,but when i write Pause 1 or when :
Delay1 var byte
Delay1 = 1
.......
High PortC.0
High PortC.1
low PortC.2
low PortC.3
Pause Delay1
This work.
It's certainely strange dude...
Wich PIC #
Wich PBP version?
Hi,
Pic 16F870 and PBP 2.46.
Maybe is this a Compiler Bug for the Pause Command.
mmm, i think i may have spotted few problems...
When you declare an array like this...
it will hold 3 different value. And they will be...Code:Array var BYTE[3]
Array[0]
Array[1]
Array[2]
Not MUCH, if you Write to Array[3], the compiler won't complaint... but it will cause you some problem one day or another because you WILL overwrite x variable...
so just modify your code and it should work better. In VB it work.. but it's a little bit different in PBP.
Just for testing, try...
at least it's working hereCode:DelayArray var byte[4]
delayarray[0]=1
delayarray[1]=10
delayarray[2]=100
delayarray[3]=200
Delay var word
CounterA var byte
Start:
for countera=0 to 3
high PORTB.0
delay=delayarray[countera]
pause delay
low PORTB.0
pause delay
next
goto start
Mister thank a lot I will try now your code,
I try this too:
Delay1 var Word
Delay2 var Byte
Delay1 = Datain[3] * Datain[4]
if Delay1 < 256 then
Delay2 = Delay1
Delay1 = 0
else
Delay2 = 0
endif
Loop = (Datain[2] * 10)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Progra m 1''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''
IF Datain[1] = 0 then
for N = 0 to Widerholung
High PortC.0
High PortC.1
low PortC.2
low PortC.3
Pause Delay1
Pause Delay2
low PortC.0
High PortC.1
high PortC.2
low PortC.3

Pause Delay2

Pause Delay2

endif
This Work ! :-)
Just to mix some brains ;)
Or the cryptic way...Quote:

With my example, you'll use...Quote:

Delay1.HighByte = DataIn[3]
Delay1.LowByte = DataIn[4]
TADA!Code:@ MOVE?WW _DataIn+3, _Delay1
This mean thet when I want to have One Millisecond i need to put in my DataIn[3] = 0 and DataIn[4] = 1 or I make again a Mistake ?! :-)
Thanks,
Your Code work very well but just when my values > 255 is.
