Errors with PBP3 and Microcode 5.0.0.3

[Ceetee]

Hello everybody

I have just installed PBP3 with Microcode Studio Plus 5 and I have been trying to compile Robert Wozniak's High-Resolution Timer code, as is with no changes, but I get the following errors:

PICBASIC PRO(TM) Compiler 3.0.6.4, (c) 1998, 2012 microEngineering Labs, Inc.

What does this mean. Can anyone help.

Hi Chris,
The first two messages seems to indicate the program won't fit the available amount of flash in the selected device.
Have you selected the correct device in drop down list in MCSP?

The two errors are most like due to you trying to set some CONFIG bits in the actual code without commenting out the default ones in the .inc file. Now, before you go and edit the .inc files take a look at the CONFIG/ENDCONFIG directive in the PBP3 manual, it allows you to set the CONFIG bits from within your code without having to comment the default ones out of the .inc files.

If this doesn't help then posting your code (or a link to it) and at least letting us know for which device you're trying to compile would be a good next step.

/Henrik.

Hi Henrik

Thank you for your reply

The PIC in question is a 18F4680 and this is the device selected in the drop down menu.

Robert Wozniak's code is here http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=12634. From within the code there are no config statements so I assumed that it uses the PIC18F4680.PBPINC as is.

I have never looked at this chip before and I have tried compiling with a 18F4331 and 18F4550 which I have used and comes with the same errors.

Regards Chris.

In your C:\PBP3\DEVICE_REFERENCE directory look for the PIC18F4880.INFO file.
Then try adding the sample config (below) to your program. The file also tells you what it all means.

#CONFIG
    __CONFIG    _CONFIG1H, _OSC_HS_1H & _FCMEN_OFF_1H & _IESO_OFF_1H
    __CONFIG    _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H
    __CONFIG    _CONFIG3H, _PBADEN_OFF_3H & _LPT1OSC_OFF_3H & _MCLRE_ON_3H
    __CONFIG    _CONFIG4L,  _STVREN_ON_4L & _LVP_OFF_4L & _BBSIZ_1024_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L

  #ENDCONFIG

Hi Dave
I have included the #config you suggested but no joy.

Interesting though I have just tried to compile the usart.pbp example program for PBP3, just as a trial, and if I compile with a 16F chip all is OK but if I compile with any 18F chip I get the same errors as my first post occur. Weird!!

What version of PBP3 do you have? Student, Silver, Gold, trial.

Dear all
I've write BASIC language in MCSPX after buy and installing PBP3+MicroCode Studio V5 to my PC which win7/64

the error during compiling as below:
could please advice:

you do not need to define a second time TRISB, nor PortB address ... it has already being done by the compiler .inc file ...

you just can initialize them

It's a real Syntax error from you ... as SYMBOL is no longer used in PBP ( see manual $2 ) ... was only used with PBC
just wipe out SYMBOL and see ...

That cool...
Million thanks

Acetronics, could U please show/share with me the tutorial project lnk/ebook address that related with PBP3 programming style...

Thanks and appreciate your help

Rgds,

Hi....

problem message[303] Program word too large truncated to core size(cfa4) and so on 4 line...
2 lines for 16f1828.inc line 20, 21 (tried to moding few variation of original val but no joy)
2 line for generated asm line 69, pointing to last "End" word in xx.asm

i have very simple test code which succesfuly compile if i change 16f1828 to 16f1827


a var byte
b var byte
ch1 var byte
ch2 var byte
LED var PORTb.6



start:

adcin 4,ch1
pause 1
hpwm 1,ch1,32000

adcin 5,ch2
pause 1
hpwm 2,ch2,32000
pause 10
a=a+1
if a=255 then toggle led
goto start




pbp is 2.60c
mcs+ 3005

.inc files modified for fusses
mplab 8.90 / mpasm 5.49

what can be diferent between those configs if 16f1827 compile but 16f1828 want.

[Acetronics2]

compile fine with PBP3.07 ...

AND Mplab 8.92 ... or MCSPX ...
