Hello there!

I'm pretty new here and pretty new with PICBasic, but I can tell you, I love it to work with it. Maybe my english is not so good but I'm doing my best!

Some problems I see in my programming but i can't fix them...

I need to know how to use a WORD in a DECimal If then Else statement. I've seen that "if DEC name = ...." wil absolutely not work. "If @name = ..." doens't work eather.

Can anyboody tell me how i can solve this problem so i can go futher?

Thanks a lot.

Cheers.

Hi,

Your question is not so clear ...

so : could you post the line ( or snippet ) you try to write and which doesn't work or compile ???

I think you try to test CHARACTERS in a string ... but can you confirm ?

Thanks for replying...

Well. Thiis will work but reply's on LCD as a ASCII code:

Code:

Print at 2, 1, Temp ; Read temp from a dS1820

and this will works to convert the ASCII code to a normal celcius:

Code:

Print at 2, 1, DEC Temp ; Read temp from a dS1820

Now i want to do an if then else statement on the Temp var. If I only take this code:

Code:

IF Temp = ... THEN

the Temp var will only reads the ASCII code, but I want the source to read the celcius in the if statement, and not the ASCII code...

I hope this makes it clearer.
