Problem with DT_Ints-14

[malc-c]

In your original post you asked if anyone has used DT's files in a program and experienced any problems. Well I have used it recently (see the model train controller thread below) and can report that it works fine.

Yes I had to tweek my code, and we played about with the values, and a couple of things were overlooked in the examples, but I received excellent support from DT and Steve (aka mister_e) as can be seen if you follow the thread.

You got off to a bad start by jumping in all guns blazing shooting down DT's code, so in some respect you deserved the reply you got at the start of the thread. However I'm sure if you post your code here, the problem will be resolved with Steves and Darrels help and you both can get along without throwing your teddy's in the corner

Bob,

BTW:
the only lines of code in the test project I ran were the includes for you units.

You can't just compile the DT_INTS-14.BAS file by itself. I suspect that's why you're getting this particular error.

See this thread for a detailed explanation on how to use DT_INTS-14 http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3251 along with some easy examples.

I've used DT_INTS-14 in a lot of apps, including my new serial LED module, and they do work as advertised, but you will need to read/try a few of Darrels' examples to understand how to use them in your own applications.

Hi BobSpencerr,

I too have used Darrell's DT_Ints-14 in a couple of my projects and can confirm that it works very well - believe me, this is well worth using!

The link that Bruce has posted is the topic I used to first get this code up and running and is very informative - be sure to check this out!

If you're still having problems, post your code here and I'm sure someone can help you out.

Regards,

Rob

amazing isnt it....

The simple question
"Has anyone else had problems comiling with these files included?"
is seen as insulting to some.

While I regeret ever asking it, I must defend the fact that it is a simple question. At not time in this sentence does it state that I thought that the error was inside the "holy grail" of code written into DT_Ints-14 but was simply asking if anyone else had a similar problem.

Perhaps something more than "MPASM Required!" on the home page would be better, like some instructions for the newbies on how to install it and where.

If you are using microcode studio, you likely already have MPASM, you enable it by clicking view, then click compile and program options, select the tab that is labled assembler, and put the little check mark in the box marked use MPASM. And when you get it working you too will know the genius of this fine piece of code.

You might want to take a look at the Title of this thread again.

It's not the "Holy Grail", it's just a really handy program that was 4 years in the making. With 3 complete versions to get where it is now.

And since we're in Defense mode. I said...
Post your code.
Get your answer.
...

But apparently, that wasn't an option.

You don't want to use it? That's fine. People have been using interrupts for years without it. I just tried to make it easier. And alot of other people have apparently seen some of the benefits.

Some of those people have expressed that fact here in this thread. And I appreciate it alot. It's not a "BUN FIGHT" as you've called it in another thread.

I also appreciate the email's I received in response to my "NOT a registered user" status. And you're all correct. I can't "throw the teddy in the corner" (I like that line) over one incident. And yes, I did.

Oh, and ...

Perhaps something more than "MPASM Required!" on the home page would be better, like some instructions for the newbies on how to install it and where.

There is no installation, simply place the files in with your own project. This is a basic rule for everything. Of course, you can always place it anywhere on your hard disk, but then you'll need to use the full path in the INCLUDE statement.

If you look here...
http://www.darreltaylor.com/DT_INTS-14/intro.html
You'll find several examples of how to use it.
I don't know what more I could do.

If you're still interested, I'm happy to help. (as long as I'm not attacked).

Come on Darrel,

lets bury the hatchet.
I asked what I thought to be a harmless question, obviously I was wrong.
You responded in an alrming way that took me by suprise.
I reacted badly.

Once again,
Im sure its great code,
Im sure its a great help
and I am sorry for starting this.
Please remember though, what appears obvious to those with experience may not be so to newcomers.

Anyway. Please, no hard feelings.
