PIC newbie - took ages to program and i still have bugs

[HenrikOlsson]

Hi,
I'm not saying that you won't get any help but since this is a forum for PicBasic you MAY not get the help you're looking for. Something like the PICList may be more suitable if you're "writing" in, or having problems with ASM.

BUT, with that being said, have you selected 16F84 in MPLAB? Configure/Select Device and then point to 16F84.

/Henrik Olsson.

as a starters,

C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\\MY DOCUMENTS\SPEED254.ASM 323 : Symbol not previously defined (z) Error[113]
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\\MY DOCUMENTS\SPEED254.ASM 362 : Symbol not previously defined (c) Error[113]

change commands that look like this (with c or z in them)

	btfsc	STATUS,z	; check if 0

to this

	btfsc	STATUS,Z	; check if 0

Thanks for the help so far - i'll check out piclist and make the above corrections.

btw - I got a build succeeded confirmation - however I have the following error messages.

it seems like the error occurs when accessing eeproms or clearing flags

Does anyone know how to rectify a "Register in operand not in bank 0" error/warning?

As long as you're sure you did the BANK switching manually, there's no real problem. Unless you may spread some BANKSEL here and there... not sure enough it will solve the warning message so far

BANKSEL is a nice MPASM tool, it avoid to do the bankswitching yourself AND manually. Same thing as CHK?RP do with PBP. NO YOU DON'T WANT TO USE BANKSEL WITH PBP unless you know some tricks. Even if you know them... i don't find any advantage myself. Maybe Darrel could confirm or contradict it.

Assuming you already did it (as it seems to be), you just need to disable the warning message with the following

errorlevel -302

HTH

well as long as they're only warnings i'll move on to adding to the design.

thanks
