Adapting a PICAXE program to PBP, to program a PIC (compiler Errors)

[zorgloub]

Hello to the Community.
I am using PBP Compiler version 2.46
I started by programming BasicStamp 2SX and then adapting the programs to fit into PiCs.

I switched to Picaxe (also programmable in Basic) and am now trying to adapt my Picaxe program to fit into a Pic12F629.

However, the compiler gives me errors that I don't understand
For example, it mentions undefined symbol names that do not exist in the program: GO_DONE, ADRESH, ...
What are these "extra tokens", ...?
Can you help me?

In appendix, print screen of the compiler errors and... the code.

Thanks.

' TWO POSITION SETTING PROCEDURE
' -----------------------------------
' - In Normal Mode (Input Mode=1), the LED is on.
' - Set the logic input (S_Pos) to 0V or 5V to select either servo position.
'
' - In Configuration Mode (Input Mode=0), the LED is blinking.
' - The state of the S_Pos input will determine which position you are setting !
' - Turn the potentiometer in either direction: The servo follows the movement.
' - When the desired position is reached the LED goes out after a few seconds.
' - Then, return the configuration input to normal mode (High)
' The LED lights up again and the new position is stored in Eeprom.
' The system returns to Normal Mode with the new programmed position.
' - Do the same for the other position by changing the state of the S_Pos input.

Compiler ERRORS:

I switched to Picaxe (also programmable in Basic) and am now trying to adapt my Picaxe program to fit into a Pic12F629.

a Pic12F629 has no adc module ADCIN Potar,PotADC is never going to fly use a Pic12F675

also if you post code please put it in code tags

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your quick reply !
I had indeed noticed this small difference between a 12F629 and a 675 and that's why I have these two components in stock!
Inattention error !
It's getting late !
OK, the compiler doesn't give any more errors.

For the code tags, I had searched in the multitude of icons, without success.
I'll keep this in mind for the next few times.
Good night.

Sincerely

It's been quite a few years since I played with PICAXE, but what I do remember is that to configure the TRIS Registers, with PICAXE an Output = 1, but with PBP an Output = 0; they're backwards.

Second, with PBP you configure PORT related registers with the PORT -- TRISA = xx, ANSELA = xx... With PICAXE you have a generic PORT register that covers pretty much every PORT pin in one fell swoop (OUTPUT 0, INPUT 1, etc.). In other words, there may be some major changes you need to make to your code.

I found when folks try to help me by handing me answers, I get past the immediate situation, even if I have no clue why the suggestion worked. When folks tell me where to find the answers myself, I can get past my current dilemma, but I then know where to look the next time I run into a challenge. May I suggest spending some quality time with the PBP3 Reference Manual, a free download from the ME Labs web site.

My personal journey started with PICAXE about 11 years ago. After about 2 years I upgraded to PBP3. I've since plunged into the dark side with MPLABX. My advice is to download the PBP3 Reference Manual and spend time learning the PBP way of doing things.

Hi MpgMike
Indeed, there are several peculiarities to take into consideration when switching from Picaxe (or Basic Stamp) to a Pic.
But they are well documented in the Reference Manual which I consult if necessary.

I personally avoid using the registers that handle i/O and Directions.

I write in clear text in my program, which is then very readable, definitions like this:
Output 0 : Symbol LED = GPIO.0 'Led - pin7 - Out0

In the case of my present application, it was a stupid error of inattention because, indeed, the Pic12F629 does not have an ADC contrary to the 12F675!
This indeed caused incomprehensible compiler errors.

Thanks.
