PBP projects for R/C models

macracket:

I changed the do loop to a WHILE WEND loop. It compiled fine, but still would not assemble in the MPLAB Debugger. Same problem with the PICPBP14.LIB "if" statements. How can the .LIB files be at fault? Very strange. Sounds like some kind of compatibility problem.

Attached is my Device Select 16F887 Window. It looks a little more flexible than yours, but basically the same

Hi all

Thought this might be of some interest, the code is in C and there is no schematic , was just thing of 4 well synchronized hard drive spindle motors a an RC chasis , would be quite a fast car.

Seems like a nice project though!

Kind regards

Ken,

Just to be sure we are all doing the same thing...

1-- Write and compile the code using MCS.
2-- Generating the ASM file with MCS set for MPASAM use.
3-- Open a project in MPLAB.
4-- Use the ASM file generated by MCS as the source for the MPLAB project.
5-- Everything is in the same project directory.

1-- Write and compile the code using MCS.
Compile PIC BASIC PRO code using
MicroCode Studio version 3.0.0.5
PICBASICPRO 2.6.0

2-- Generating the ASM file with MCS set for MPASAM use
Using MPASM per the following picture:


3-- Open a project in MPLAB.

Open the project in MPLAB IDE 8.43.00.00
MPDebugger 3.10

4-- Use the ASM file generated by MCS as the source for the MPLAB project.
5-- Everything is in the same project directory.

Looks like the only difference is you are using the latest software, I am still using PBP2.50 and MPLAB v8.00.

So I am at a loss now.

Progress has been slow. It will be more fun when the SN7407's show up and I can make the car move.

It's been more than a week. They were supposed to have been shipped via USPS. The vendor is not answering its email. Does not look good.

Meanwhile I might as well get back to the REAL project. I have not decided on the least intrusive means to generate PWM. Using the toy level car all I have is bang/bang control. Full speed forward, full speed backward, stopped. Full turn left, Full turn right, straight ahead.

With PWM control I have CONTROL. Thing is, I do not know whether I really need this complication. Probably not. But I do need for the microprocessor to be doing things while the car is moving. PAUSE does not cut it.

Gotta put back on my thinking cap.
