I have now got my USB Project working, and i am now working with some sound! (I needed to Comment out some lines in the 18F2550.INC file)
But now when i use FREQOUT command in my USB script i get this error:
"Warning[202] \PBP\PBPPIC18.LIB 1239: argument out of range. least significant bits used."
I don't know what it is, but i think it's somthing with a kind of config!
Generally, it means you're trying to stuff a WORD variable into a BYTE register.Quote:

Open your pbppic18.lib and scroll down to line number 1239. Where you see addlw (sintable) change it to addlw low(sintable)
Bruce, What version of PBP do you have there? I just checked my latest version w/patch and find no instance of this.
Dave Purola,

Hi Dave,
I have the latest version + I keep all older versions for tech support. v2.47 is the version
I noticed the low missing in. It works even without the mod, but always returns the warning.
Thanks.. It worked, and how did you know that?Quote:

Word, highbyte, lowbyte, byte1, byte0, and so on...Quote:

Ya, but when i need to send it over USB?Quote:

In english please :)Quote:

USBBufferOut Var Byte[USBBufferSizeMax]
USBBufferCount Var Byte
USBBufferCount = USBBufferSizeTX ' TX buffer size
USBService ' keep connection alive
USBOut 1, USBBufferOut, USBBufferCount, DoOutBuf ' if bus available, transmit data
That's perfect english...shows how to define a word and a couple of bytes, and how to split them up and join them back together.Quote:

What about it: It's how the code is used in the USB Script, so how could i get more than only a byte to send? Can you set to bytes together so you can send 255*255?Quote:

Ohh, so you have a number you save in a WORD, and then split you the WORD up in two BYTES and then you send the BYTES, but can i then get them to one number again in visual basic? And can you also do it the other way, so i have a number higher than 255 would like to have send to the PIC?Quote:

Read the book...again...search the forums. There's plenty of info out there, more than enough.Quote:

Just so others can see it, if they maybe need it!Code:Function LOBYTE(ByVal w As Integer) As Byte
LOBYTE = w And &HFF
End Function
Function HIBYTE(ByVal w As Integer) As Byte
HIBYTE = (w And &HFF00&) \ 256
End Function
How did you know that i should do that?Quote:

If you've got MCS setup to dump out a .lst file with all the options turned on (usually fairly HUGE files), you can usually scroll thru it or search it for the phrase 'ERROR', then using a bit of deductive logic, can usually trace that back to your original problem...whether it be a problem with the typist, an include file, a macro, whatever.Quote:

I looked in the library at the line # indicated by the warning message. In v2.50a there was no problem. In v2.47 this was missing, so it's a simple fix to get rid of the warning.
It also helps if you know assembler...;o]
Ya know, I never made the correlation between the 'PBPPIC18.LIB' and the '1239' in the error messages. I always did it the hard way described above.Quote:

$25 for the upgrade...Quote:
