Instant Interrupts and STRINGS-16.PBP in the same program

Hello all! Hope everyone had a good Holiday. My question is, can I use Instant Interrupts DT_INTS-18, ReEnterPBP-18 and STRINGS-16 in the same program. I've tried a few times and get several errors.

symbol not previously defined.(INT_ENTRY_H)
Found call to Macro in column 1.(GetAddress)
Duplicate Macro name. (GetAddress)
1003:symbol not previously defined.(Label)
1004:symbol not previously defined.(Wout)
1005:symbol not previously defined.(Label)
1006:symbol not previously defined.(Wout)
1007:unmatched ENDM

Instant Interrupts works great on it's own (blinks an LED) and STRINGS works great on it's own (Hello World and It's Me!) on an LCD, however combined I can't get it to compile without errors.

MCSP 2.3, PBP 2.45A, MPASM, and Microcode Loader with an 18F2525 @ 20 MHZ

As always thanks for any help in my up-hill battle thru this learning curve.

As far as I know, they should work together.

Those don't look like MPASM error messages, are you sure you have MPASM selected as the assembler?
<br>

Yes, under "VIEW", Compile and Program Options, Assembler, a check mark in the Use MPASM box. As I said Darryl they work great on their own just not together. Probably operator error somewhere, I'm just not sure where.

Thanks for your help.

Can you post the code?

I'll take a look and see what's up.

Here it is. Out for dinner for an hour or so. I'll check back later. Thanks again.

Ah, that helps.

You haven't defined the Interrupts yet.

There needs to be a section that looks something like this...

Code:

---

ASM
INT_LIST  macro    ; IntSource,        Label,  Type, ResetFlag?
        INT_Handler    INT_INT,  _ToggleLED1,  PBP,  yes
    endm
    INT_CREATE              ; Creates the interrupt processor
ENDASM

@  INT_ENABLE  INT_INT    ; enable external (INT0) interrupts

---

That section should be at the top of the program (but after the INCLUDE files), and don't jump over it. It needs to actually execute.

Then there also needs to be a handler routine...

Code:

---

'---[INT - interrupt handler]---------------------------------------------------
ToggleLED1:
    TOGGLE LED1
@ INT_RETURN

---

HTH,

Here's the right one.

Oh, that helps even more. :)

There is a conflict between the two programs.
DT_INTS also has a GetAddress macro.

So you can just delete the GetAddress macro in the main program.

Don't forget to un-comment the include files.

As always Darryl, you are "THE MAN".

Thanks alot...

See, now why can't "SHE" ever grasp that concept. :o
But that's another story.

Great! Hope the rest of the program works out too.
