writing word variables to data memory

[malc-c]

Sorry I might not of got the point over

lightsetHR[fn]
lightsetMN[fn]
lightoffHR[fn]
lightoffMN[fn]
droptemp[fn]
normtemp[fn]
StartHour[fn]
StartMin[fn]
StopHour[fn]
StopMin[fn]
alarmhigh[fn]
alarmlow[fn]

They are all WORD variables, but as all those in blue have values that are typically two digits (eg Hours will be between 00 and 23, with minutes being 00 to 59). they get saved and read OK for some reason. All those in red will be three digit values, eg 327, 150 and it's these that don't get saved. Each Word variable has 4 elements for example ,

alarmhigh[0]
alarmhigh[1]
alarmhigh[2]
alarmhigh[3]

These will have different values depending on what has been set in a previous section
eg:

alarmhigh[0]=340
alarmhigh[1]=360
alarmhigh[2]=400
alarmhigh[3]=370

Hope that helps clarify my issue

Hi, Malc

Did you simply tried to Open the Holy Manual ???

supposing you use the PBP 2.60a Version ... it is at page 175 ...

supposing you use previous version ( 2.50b ) ... it is at page 162 ...

examples for WORDs given.

You also should have a look to $ 4.4 p 25 " Aliases " ... where it is shown how to " slice " your values ...

Just don't quite understand it... (sorry I'm thick ! - care to actually explain how I would do this " Aliases " ... where it is shown how to " slice " your values thing ?)

Ok Malc ...

let's make it easy :

The last PBP2.60 Version has introduced a Qualifier that permits you NOT to care with slicing your variables ...
so, if you own a v2.60 ( and You SHOULD ) ... the link you gave me becomes ... obsolete.

as you, NOW, just have to write:

WRITE Location, Word AlarmHigh[1] , Word AlarmHigh[2] , Word AlarmHigh[3] ,...

READ Location, Word AlarmHigh[1], Word AlarmHigh[2] , Word AlarmHigh[3], WA[1],WA[2],WA[3]

BUT remember a word need 2 EEPROM locations ... so,

WRITE Location +6 , Word AlarmHigh[4]
READ Location +6 , Word AlarmHigh[4] ,WA4

Alain

PS: of course, you can keep on using the " old method "

WRITE Location, AlarmHigh[1].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+1, AlarmHigh[1].Highbyte
WRITE Location+2, AlarmHigh[2].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+3, AlarmHigh[2].Highbyte
WRITE Location+4, AlarmHigh[3].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+5, AlarmHigh[3].Highbyte
WRITE Location+6, AlarmHigh[4].Lowbyte
WRITE Location+7, AlarmHigh[4].Highbyte

... but, is it really reasonnable ???

[malc-c]

The part I really find it hard to grasp is the WA[1], WA[2] bit and how to format the two eprom locations

So assuming the start address is 80

Could this then be changed to

For x = 0 to 3
For fn = 0 to 8
Write Word (80+fn) AlarmHigh[fx] highbyte
If fn >= 4 then 
x = 0 
Write Word (80+fn) AlarmHigh[fx] lowbyte
Next fn
Next x

I just can't seem to make this sink in !

Oh my god ... you really thick ... ( YOU told it, not me ... )

following your explanation:

[code]

For fn = 0 to 3
Write (80+2*fn), Word AlarmHigh[fn+1]
next fn

[code]

LOCATION MUST BE PLACED BEFORE THE DATA !!!

( sorry for other users , but it's the 4 th time I repeat ... )


Business looks to have turned you deaf and blind ...

This seems to compile

  for fn = 0 to 3
  write (10*fn + 80),lightsetHR[fn]
  write (10*fn + 82),lightsetMN[fn]
  write (10*fn + 84),lightoffHR[fn]
  write (10*fn + 86),lightoffMN[fn]
  write (10*fn + 88),word droptemp[fn]
  write (10*fn + 90),word normtemp[fn]
  write (10*fn + 92),StartHour[fn]
  write (10*fn + 94),StartMin[fn]
  write (10*fn + 96),StopHour[fn]
  write (10*fn + 98),StopMin[fn]
  write (10*fn + 100),word alarmhigh[fn]
  Write (10*fn + 102),word alarmlow[fn]
  next fn
