It may be as easy as removing the [SPACE] between the percent symbol and the binary value as : %00000000. I don't know that, because (as Alain suggests) I have seen neither the code nor the error, but I am foolish enough to risk a guess!

Hi, this is the code sample page of melabs,

what happens?

Greetings!

Just FYI "CMCON = 7 ' Set PORTA to digital" actually turns off the comparators and doesn't set the ports to digital.

It also looks as if you need to set the ADCON bits 3-5 also to use ports as analog inputs.

Shouldn't this "Lcdout $fe, 1, "pot=", #x ' Send value to LCD" read "Lcdout $fe, 1, "pot=", DECx ' Send value to LCD"? I [U]think[U] the # returns ASCII and NOT decimail numbers. Which may or may not be what you are seeking.
