pot command

[lerameur]

yes thats what I am beginning to realize too , lots of stuff missing in the book, then when you use another chip, I'm screwed.
Abou tthe A/D, doesn't that read a voltage ? whereas the Pot read a resistance ?

both cde works,
i am trying to figure out one thing now.

I am replacing this command line:
HIGH PORTB.0
PAUSE 1000
LOW PORTB.0

by this one:
serout 2,n9600,(2)

i am getting errors:
C:\PBP\POT_TRY.BAS ERROR Line 39: Bad expression.
C:\PBP\POT_TRY.BAS ERROR Line 33: ID LED2 is not a LABEL.
C:\PBP\POT_TRY.BAS ERROR Line 34: ID LED3 is not a LABEL.
C:\PBP\POT_TRY.BAS ERROR Line 35: ID LED4 is not a LABEL.

suddenly my labels are not labels ??

Sometimes the error messages bear no relation to the actual error.

Try changing serout 2,n9600,(2)

to serout 2,n9600,[2]

yeah i know what you mean. It's always handy to have English(United State) driver installed too. Just need to press Shift+Alt to switch between language

Hi,

For once one can say it's the Keyboard's error ...

Mhhhh, have something against French Goose liver, Sauternes, Camembert, Cognac, ... and so on ...

Ahhhh, I see ... that was just a "glitch" ...

PS: In French, as I've read here, your should be called " Le Ramier " ... and not "Lerameur" ....
LOL !!!!

wow shift-alt, thats cool.

I am still confused about one part. The default selection from the compiler is great but very specific for me. Lets say you are using the Pic16F877, with port A, B, C,D,
I then use the command serout, IS there a problem using the exact port?
Ex: serout portC.2,N9600,[3]
instead of 2,N9600,[3] . ( by which I know the pin number, but I dont know the port)
For me it looks like its taking a random port, obviously , the one by default...

Hi Ken,
No it's better to specify PortA or PortB or . . . than just serout 2,N9600. I have only seen serout 2,N9600 used as port B, I think it is a throwback to PBasic and not the pro that still works in Pro,maybe for basic stamps, the PBasic cannot use the Pro sytax which allows you to specify the port. I only use the full name of ports so I do not allow myself to get sloppy, I am not a good enough programmer to ALLOW sloppy, I think generally speaking you can serout on any "I/O" pin which can be made digital, possible exception A.4 or 5 and IT may work with ext. pullup.
