    Hi there,

    What do you have in "Print2LCD" subroutine? If it is not a light speed transportation project, can you show us?

    Also,

    Why not simplify your code as below?

    Code:
    FOR Tst_Array[17]=0 to 65534
    gosub Print2LCD
NEXT Tst_Array[17]

    light speed project, that is funny! ;-)


    it just sends the array to a 2x16 lcd. hmmm, maybe i'm missing a modifier here


    Code:
    Print2LCD
  
    FOR Ndx=0 to 18
       hserout [  Tst_Array[Ndx] ]
    NEXT Ndx
    
RETURN

    I do not have my manual with me but what if you change:
    Tst_Array VAR word[20]
    to
    Tst_Array VAR byte[20]

    hey mackrackit & others

    i changed type to byte with the same results.

    when array is of type word, and using my debugger i see the element's value as of a word type having 16 bits. so the issue isn't with the array elements. i thinking it is the hserout performing as it is designed to do.

    what i'm seeing is the function hserout, and i assume the software version, serout, is sending values up to dec 255 then rolls back to dec 0 and starts the low bits all over again.

    going to try some things ... back soon ...

    thx

    Tst_Array[Ndx].highbyte, Tst_Array[Ndx].lowbyte ?

    compiler returns this error: This style array syntax not supported

    i'm looking at this page now for some pointers,
    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...ht=style+array


    maybe there is a limitation on the usart for sizes >byte or there is a register config setting i've missed on this 16f88.

    i'm looking into it, back later ...

    Then have a word variable like

    Code:
    Temp VAR WORD
    Then, modify the print routine as follow.

    Code:
    Print2LCD
  
    FOR Ndx=0 to 18
        Temp = Tst_Array[Ndx]       
        HSEROUT [Temp.LowByte,Temp.HighByte ]
    NEXT Ndx
    
RETURN
