new to PIC programming could really do with some help
I've got a problem with this section of code and could really do with some help please.
The LCD scrolling section looks ok to me, but when I try compiling it I get this error
Error at Line [68] In file [OILCON~3.BAS] *** Variable ' LCDIN ' not defined! ***
Also can anyone tell me if I've worked out how to generate sound on PORTD.1 correctly please?
I know the sound section seems a little crude but for some reason I cannot get the FOR NEXT commands to work.
The circuit will have a high signal from the main power supply and have a battery backup across the Vdd and Vss pins of the 16F877 (interlock? to make sure the power is not turned OFF BEFORE the switch on PORTB.6 has been pressed) along with a blocking diode to make sure the battery never gets charged
Sorry for asking so many questions in one post, but a week ago I hadnt even considered about learning how to program PIC's and I only started learning about how to program them a few days ago.
apart from the problem with the LCDIN not defined?? could someone check the code marked in red and see if it looks ok please?
I would just put it all together and try it but at the moment I havent even got a development board to test any of my programming
