eprom memory location

[malc-c]

Further exploits of my trials with an 18F4580 has resulted in getting the two programs independantly migrated across and working. However when I merged the two together I was getting problems with the PID routines. I found that there was a conflict with the two codes as the both use the data comand to write to the EEprom area.

PID code uses this code

The RTC code has this code

If I add just the latter to the PID code it causes the PID routine to incorrectly function. I've looked at the datasheet but my inexperience makes it as clear as mud.

Is there a way of using the two sets of data, but keeping them at separate memory locations so they don't clash

Malcolm, you can start from location 150 with your RTC code, but you will need to add 150 to all the read instructions in the RTC code, otherwise it will not work.

Thank you for the prompt reply,

There is only one lookup section in the rtc code

FindDays:
	LookUp SetMonth-1,[31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31],CounterA

I assume I change this to

FindDays:
	LookUp SetMonth-150,[31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31],CounterA

EDIT: Tried that, and which the PID code now runs fine, the month is shown as hieroglyphics 27 hieroglyphics 2010

I also have this code which I gather would read the values

DisplayMonth:
	CounterB=CounterB*3-3	' Convert BCD Month to EEPROM Start Address
DisplaySequence:
	For CounterA=CounterB to CounterB+2
				' Read and Display Month
		Read CounterA,CounterD
		LCDOut CounterD
		Next CounterA
	Return

What would I need to change ?

[aratti]

Add just 150 to :

Read (CounterA + 150),CounterD



... and see if it works.

Thankypu, works a treat....

I guess it was obvious really... but it had been a long day !
