large program oddity

**lsteensl** · - 13th April 2007, 17:26

I'm using PBP 2.47 and microcode studio 2.3.0.0, to write code for a 16f877a.

I have a large polling loop that includes 18 of these structures:

if T_zone > 0 and current_zone = 1 then
high P_Zone1
else
low P_Zone1
endif

if T_zone > 0 and current_zone = 2 then
high P_Zone2
else
Low P_Zone2
endif

...
if T_zone > 0 and current_zone = 17 then
high P_Zone17
else
low P_Zone17
endif

if T_zone > 0 and current_zone = 18 then
high P_Zone18
else
low P_Zone18
endif

What I find is when I set the current_zone to 17, the output will toggle. All other outputs in this loop don't. Also, when swap the location of the zone17 and zone18 code, zone 18 toggles and zone 17 doesn't.

I have written a few lines of code to go through and test the fact that all the I/Os are working so I haven't blown a driver, or have a weak one.

I have to believe that it has something to do with the fact that the program is on the large-ish size (2370 words). I am not using any branch statements, it's all gotos and gosubs.

I would be happy to include the entire source code if someone thinks they have a good idea as to what would cause it.

thanks

Try this instead:

If T_Zone > 0 Then
Low P_Zone1 : Low P_Zone2.........and so on.....
Select Case current_zone
Case 1
High P_Zone1
Case 2
High P_Zone2
...................................and so on.....
End Select
Endif

And what pin is P_Zone17 on?
For that matter, seeing all the code might not be a bad idea.

There is more code than can be added to a window, so I'll have to chop out a few things.

I suspect it may have to do with incorrect branching due to seletion of the wrong PCLATH value. To check this, you will have to look withing the LST file.

When I changed from that huge if...then tree, to the select case (with a little modification however) the code was small enough to fit in the 2k code size, and he problem went away.

this is what I had to do to make the ports come on, and go off, otherwise all other things are the same:

Code:

if T_zone > 0 then
select case current_zone
case 1
HIGH P_zone1
case 2
HIGH P_zone2
case 3
HIGH P_zone3
case 4
HIGH P_zone4

case 18

end select
endif

if T_Zone = 0 then

Want to shorten your code a bunch more? Skip the "HIGH" and "LOW" commands and set the port pins directly (See last sentence and example in both the "HIGH" and "LOW" sections of manual).
