Redefinition of VAR errors in PIC14EXE.BAS AND PBPPIC14.RAM

[Ahlstrom]

Here is the program. I seem to have some issues with uploading my files. I will continue to try.

You're not supposed to write your program INSIDE any of the files in the PBP folder.

When you compile a program the compiler automatically includes the correct files for the specified target - in your case (since you're using the 16F877) the file is 16F877.BAS (and a few other) but now, since you've "added" you're program code TO that file it won't work since the compiler tries to compile the same code twice - sort of.

Simply keep your program code in a file of its own and compile for the correct target. If you're using MicroCodeStudio as your IDE it's just a matter of selecting the 16F877 in the dropdown list of available targets. Make you sure you restore the 16F877.BAS file to its original state.
