code conversion

well the only thing is see is to change those () for [] when using array var.

After that... can't see what else it have to be modfied.

hi steve.. thanks for the update.... i forgot to update the post here but i managed to track down a copy of PICBasic Pro from a friend of mine and got him to compile the program for me. lol solves the problem and having to change the codes. Thanks anyways... oh any idea where i could find a virtual breadboard? not the one from http://www.muvium.com/ (previously virtualbreadboard.com). I came across a few versions written in java but does not have the 16F84 chip. anything that can help?

Some will hate me but i assume my words 100%. I hate Virtual stuff as they never give the truth... well maybe close to but i'd and i'll never use and trust that kind of stuff. I still prefer spending time to build a real one... yeah i have that old manner to work.

SO probably ISIS, VSM, PROTEUS( i can't remind wich is wich) from Labcenter could help.. see info on the link bellow

Some said it's a great tool... can't commernt on. I have it, but never tested and i'll probably never.

Sorry!

I'd be interested in knowing the name and author of this book. I have a book for a walking robot that uses just 3 servos. I'm interested in the 8 servo one.

The book is called PIC robotics by john iovine. Am interested in your 3 motor robot. Where can i have a look at that project???

[bartman]

Thanks. I'll check into that book.

The book I bought is called "Insectronics" by Karl Williams.

I haven't built it yet, don't know if I ever will because I'm holding out for something with a bit more in the way of degrees of freedom.

I looked at your code here too and as much as I wouldn't genrally disagree with Mister E (who is 1000X smarter than I) I don't think you can just make a couple changes to get it to work in PicBasic. The ENDIF statement alone would grind it to a halt so you are lucky to have found someone who can compile it for you with the Pro version.

haha you know what though i managed to get a copy of the pro version last minute from a friend of mine. thank goodness! saved me a lot of work. lol... thanks for the link too. will look into it later on.
