    Talking The tree hiding the forrest ...

    Hi, Mel

    I've "DONE" in Pbpic14.lib and "DUNN" in Pbpic18.lib ...

    just like you !

    Buuuuuut ... is it really important ??? ( LOL ...); if I understood Darrel ... It's just to show the place where to include a piece of code.

    What ??? I did say something stupid ??? ... I apologize, then ! Acoording to Khomeiny Ayatollah ( and Sayzer ! ) ... What's the cost ?

    Alain,

    You are making jokes, but I am sure only you are having some kind of smile on your face.

    I prefer not to fill this thread with your strange ongoing discussion.

    But, if you like to continue, then lets jump into OFF TOPIC section and see what you got there. Are you in?

    On my old 2.40 compiler I can confirm what Melanie stated:

    PBPBIC12.lib: DONE_USED
    PBPPIC14.lib: DONE_USED
    PBPPIC17.lib: DUNN_USED
    PBPPIC18.lib: DUNN_USED

    Also note that on the last two libraries there are some ifdef SERIN2DONE_USED that are strange to me.

    I would think yes, because the clueless outnumber the clued ten to one on this forum. There's folks starting projects that are way beyoned their understanding or ability levels and stumbling over which way around a Resistor should be soldered in (oh, and yes, I do teach people that there is a proper way to insert Resistors and all non-polarised components).

    Although I am already using Darrel's LCD at any pin modification, I saw some difference and posted here.

    So that those "clueless" firends can also give it some meaning as to see "why?", and go on.

    Maybe this way, Melanie's students will not ask her whether the difference in their file creates any issue.

    If I see more difference I will post again.
    Alain will jump in and make some jokes and smile on his own -again.

    I don't count you amongst the clueless Sayzer, I do consider you're amongst the living rather than the comatose... and your flagging the anomaly is both valid and worthwhile noting - if just for those that will follow us reading this thread and wonder why their files are different.

    I don't teach people PICBasic, although I do point out to those down in the production department that there is a right-way and a wrong-way of doing things... and when you do it properly, it makes a difference. For example, I mentioned Resistors... yes you can put them in any way you want (there are exceptions), but if you align them all the same way, so you can read the values left-to-right or top-to-bottom, such a simple thing doesn't half make a board look neater.

    Hi, Sayzer

    To close the ( this tremendous ) subject ...

    1) "Anonymous user" DID NOT Follow "exactly" what to do ... instead of what you stated.

    2) No, I don't smile at all to those ... make me rather sad ...

    3) I Always respect real efforts to understand ...

    Take it easy ... making jokes is one of the best ways to remember something !!!

    ROFL,

    A comical list of mistakes on my part.
    It all still works, but I can definitely see the confusion.

    Apparently when making the first Post, I used the beginning of LCDOUT from the PBPPIC14.lib.
    Then I was checking for differences between the 14 and 18.libs and didn't see any, so I copied the end of LCDOUT from the PBPPIC18.lib file. Then after Sayzer's post, I only looked at the 18.lib (which had DUNN), DOH!

    Thanks for the help Sayzer, and the confirmation from everyone else.

    I need to make new instructions for the installation of HighJack routines anyhow.
    Now there's LCD_AnyPin, PC064PYL, LCD_Shift and others that will use the same Modification.
    So I need to see if I can work out the confusion during installation.

    Hi Darrel and thx for the great hack.

    I have had it working fine on 16F Pics and 18F pics, but today I tried it on a USB 18F2550 and it tells me the Hijacked-LCDOUT not found.

    As well as modifying the pbppic14.lib and pbppic18.lib , I also added it to the pbppi18l.lib as this seems to be called from PBPUSB18.LIB but no joy and get the error.

    Is it because it uses different files in the USB18 folder?

    Cheers

    Sean.
