DEFINE OSC for 31 khz

[MikeSinclair]

Correction to the below thread.

-> Use DEFINE OSC 4 instead of DEFINE OSC 3 <-

I accidently set the Editor Options in MicroCode Studio (View/Editor Options.../Highlighter) to "LowerCase All" instead of "Default". The Define options are CASE SENSITIVE (!!!) so

define osc 3

is ignored and defaults to DEFINE OSC 4

DEFINE OSC 4 sets the OCS value to 4 Mhz (in this case a fudge factor so, when combined with a 32 KHx xtal and the weird serout2 Mode value, it works for 150 baud.

IMHO, there shouldn't be a LowerCase All as an option in CodeStudio as it prohibits you from using DEFINE (uppercase) which is case sensitive! AAARRRRRG

Hi,
It's starting to feel like beating a dead horse but since this apparently STILL causes confusion we'll do it one more time:

It's what you put AFTER the define keyword, ie OSC in this case, that IS case sensitive. The keyword define can be written UPPER CASE, lower case, MixED CAsE, whatever.

So it's perfectly fine to have the Reserved Word Formatting in MicroCode Studio set to Lowercase all since only DEFINE is a reserved word and IT IS NOT case sensitive.
define osc 8 will not work, define OSC 8 will and MicroCode Studio will only change the case of the reserved word, ie define, not OSC. So, the problem was not that you had it set to Lowercase all but that you wrote osc instead of OSC.

/Henrik.

So sorry for the error.

I read the manual and thought I understood (ha!). I also searched the forum and couldn't find what I might have done wrong. Thanks for the correction. Yes.....still very confusing IMHO.
