IF..THEN syntax

[scaenix]

[QUOTE=Darrel Taylor;32729]Compiled it for 16F84, still no errors.

in that case, could you please send me the .HEX file so that I could load it to my PIC micro if that is ok with you?

P.S. I sent you a PM

:-D

[Darrel Taylor]

It sounds like an easy thing. It's already compiled, just send you the .HEX file.

But, being Asst_Admin on this forum, if I started compiling things for someone, I'd have 100 people a day that didn't want to buy the compiler, sending me their files.

That wouldn't be fair to the people that had to pay for their compiler.

[scaenix]

well, ok then. then pls suggest any other options if its ok with you. :-)

[Darrel Taylor]

Well, maybe you could ask William Gray Walter

Who's book you got the program from.

Or was it, John Iovine's "Pic Robotics".

[Darrel Taylor]

Tell ya what.

Send me the .LST file from your project.
darrel at pbpgroup.com

Maybe I can find the problem and suggest an alternative that might work with 2.30

No guarantees.

Wow! Have you read John Iovine's book? Well, I got the program from his book "Pic Robotics". Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the <bold>William Gray Walter</bold> whom you're referring to passed away in 1977?

Right, which would have made it hard to have written something in PBP.
But he did make the original "Turtle" robot that supposedly John based it on.

Got the .LST file, and it's worse than I thought. You have PBP version 2.03. (extremely old)

If you look at the version history
http://www.melabs.com/support/upgrade.htm#History

version 2.04 corrected a problem in 2.03 ...
IF..THEN..ELSE..ENDIF didn't always generate GOTO macro.

And as I look through the .LST file ... Every IF statement has an error.
Can't imagine how PBP even got off the ground with those kinds of errors.

Sorry, I don't see any way to make it work with 2.03

The IF...THEN... might not generate a goto macro like he has it in the program:
if x>255 then skp

but how about
if x > 255 then goto skp

It sounds logical anyways...and I don't see the word 'goto' in any of the if/then statements

Well, thanks anyway..our time in replying to the posts really helped. I already got the code compiled using PBP 2.46. Please don't ask me how I did it, just let me tell me that it really took my ingenuity to work..hehe. And with regards to the unfairness of the HEX file, I understand your situation and because of that, I became more resourceful in finding ways to compile my program without using any illegal credit cards or spending a dime. hehehe.. I hope we talk again on programming topics man! More power to you!
