Help with, SEROUT

[Melanie]

I've checked that the documentation downloadable (in the Support Section) from the MeLabs website is full, complete and has no pages missing. And asking you to look in it where you will find a COMPREHENSIVE and detailed ANSWER to your question is a valid response and not 'stupid' at all. Newbie or Expert, you cannot program with PICBASIC or PICBASIC PRO without referring to the manual for the correct syntax and usage for any of the higher functions. The forum isn't a on-line Manual or Datasheet substitute.

Oh, and yeah, I do have better things to do... but be grateful that somebody gave up their time to try to kick your butt in looking in the right direction - and then if you don't understand what you read, come back and ask what you don't grasp about the concept of pin, or mode, or item. But until then, ask yourself why you don't have a manual, and go download for free or buy one!

Ok. The manual I had was from Comfile.
So when the code says 1,103,0,1[] it can´t be a code for the mel-Pic.
Because they don´t use the code 103. Only 0-15..

[Kimto]

Ok, there is a big difference between "mel" and comfile. But now I now, what compiler I should have bought. I thought the code should be the same, when they use the same microcontroller.
Thanks for the reply.

Do you have a Compiler currently? If you've bought something other than the MeLabs product then this isn't the place for you because the program syntax and functions will almost certainly be different and folks here will probably not be able to help. There's now a lot of compilers out for the PIC, some good, some bad and some really awful. I can't comment on how good Comfile is versus MeLabs because I don't know and have no experience of the product.

If you've already spent money on another product, then firstly you should consider a damage limitation excercise and give the other product a go (and see if they have a support forum) before thinking about buying something else. But, when considering MeLabs, it's been around for a long time, produces nice code, and it works - even for newbies! *smiles*
