18F2550 With Problems

[nuno106]

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a small program with Pic 18F2550, but it doesn't work well...

It should start with number 2 at Cnt_Lixo, and increment 1 every 1,5 seconds.

Sometimes (one in ten...), it starts well and increment correctly, but most of the times, it starts a 0, and never increment any number...

I'm lost.

Try changing:

if tecla_dta = 1 then cnt_lixo_1 = cnt_lixo_1 + 1 : lcdout $FE, $C0,"Tcl Dta" : pause 1500
if tecla_esq = 1 then cnt_lixo_2 = cnt_lixo_2 + 1 : lcdout $FE, $C0,"Tcl Esq" : pause 1500

to this:

if tecla_dta = 1 then
 cnt_lixo_1 = cnt_lixo_1 + 1
 lcdout $FE, $C0,"Tcl Dta" 
 pause 1500
ELSEIF
 tecla_esq = 1 then
 cnt_lixo_2 = cnt_lixo_2 + 1
 lcdout $FE, $C0,"Tcl Esq"
 pause 1500
ENDIF

Thanks for your answer mpgmike,

I found the problem:

For default, the XINST was On, and this change the extended instruction set.

I change it to --> XINST_OFF, and everything works well.

Thanks,
Nuno

Charles Leo taught me to list every single CONFIG item in the header on every program. There is a document included with the PBP package that lists all the CONFIGs and what the options are for every PIC. On my PC it is found at C:\Program_Files(X86)\PBP3_1\DEVICE_REFERENCE\PIC1 8F2550 for your choice. The PBP package includes several useful resources like this, if you know about them. Glad you found your issue.
