G'Day..
I am copying Chuck Hellebuyck's Pic16F876 A/D for a 5 LED idication on a variable Pot.
V+ in = progressive LEDS out. I have included files "16F877.Bas" and "pbppic14.lib"
I get back 21 compilation errors for ' bad expression pbppic14lib.'I have checked both files for comparisons to the errors and can find no reference to any syntax expressions therein.
The compilers first error is ' TrisB = %00000000. Am I missing something......Thanks
Who is Chuck and what does his code look like?
Please post your code so we can tell what is going on.
Neither one of those files you mentioned should be included in your code. PIC Basic takes care of that.

I commented out these two lines
and the rest of your code compiled here. Give it a try. I will look at the remainder in a bit.Code:include "pbppic14.lib"
include "16F877.bas"
I originally included the two files because without them the compilation errors are...
'Macro label?L not found in macro file' , 'Macro ADCIN?CN not found in macro file', etc. for all the commands used in this programme..I am beginning to think that my last update of MicroCodePlus Studio may be crappy, although it compiles 16F84A's OK.I may have to look at reinstalling this programme ...Thanks ..Rod.
Do you have MCS set up to us MPASM? Should not make a difference with you PIC though.
The machine I tested your code on does not have MCS. I used MPLAB.
What version of PIC BASIC PRO and MCS do you have?
I am only using MCS 3.0.0.5 as standalone , and PICBasicPro 2.45A. I do have Mplab V8.0 onboard but they no longer include the ability to compile from basic , and will only work with the *.asm file. If this programme compiles on your system , then it should compile on mine , unless I have a dodgy software loading.. I am about to remove PicBasicPro and MCS and reload them both.. I will post the results , most probably Monday....Thanks...Rod.
This tells how to use PIC BASIC and MPLAB together.

Works very well. I even use this on my Linux box.
I am happy to announce that , after replacing the HDD in my desktop and reloading both MPLAB and PicBasicPro that I am up and running with my 16F877 compilations..anndd PBPro
is running within MPLAB..
