A Little surprise with PbP 2.50 ...

[Ioannis]

Confirmed ...

Here is a little try: ( read from the .ASM file )

; C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROCHIP\MPLAB IDE\PROJETS\PICBOARD.BAS 00046 LCDOUT $FE, $C0, DEC NCD I,"°öµC"
LCDOUT?C 0FEh
LCDOUT?C 0C0h
LCDOUTCOUNT?C 000h
NCD?WW _I, T1
LCDOUTNUM?W T1
LCDOUTDEC?
LCDOUT?C 0FFB0h ************ " ° " outputs $B0 instead of $DF
LCDOUT?C 0FFF6h ************ " ö " outputs $F6 instead of $EF
LCDOUT?C 0FFB5h ************ " µ " outputs $B5 instead of $F7
LCDOUT?C 043h ************ " C " outputs $43 … which is GOOD !!


Not so easy to debug what happens to Cin value !!!

If I got it right, by that you mean that new version 2.50 puts garbage to strings?

Hi, Ioannis

The exact meaning is PbP 2.50 LCDOUT doesn't work properly with characters which Character "number" is > 127 ( see LCD Character Table ...)

Well now. Maybe when novices ask a question, senior members will stop saying RTFM

Hi, Wilson ...

That can't be in the Manual ... of course !!!

You HAVE to read the manual !!! repeating the book pages is a bit boring and uninteresting for everyone ... but you ... don't you think ???

PbP 2.50 LCDOUT doesn't work properly with characters
which ASCII "number" is > 127 ( see ASCII Table ...)

Hi Alain,

OS version?
What is the used language on you PC? English United States?

Can you post a short program so that someone can try to
compile it on a 100% English United States system?

Best regards,

Hi, Luciano

Ooops !!! Not Asciii characters but LCD Characters ( so, no link to OS or machine ... or version of English ... LOL )

If the Highest bit of the Character code is set ... Wrong Output !!!


Just try this line, whatever the processor :



LCDOUT $FE, 1, "°öµC"

and look at what displayed.

OK, Alain. I got it. To be sure of what you typed and what I did see on screen I converted to image and attached it. So is this what you really typed? My system is English-Greek.

Hi Alain,

I understand that you have a problem when you compile

LCDOUT $FE,$C0," ", SDEC2 Tair,"°C "

where the degree symbol is not correctly translated in
the corresponding LCD character.

Are you sure that during the source code parsing the compiler
gets the correct character? This is why I suggested to try on
a 100% English United States system.

Best regards,

Luciano

Luciano,

There was no problem with 2.47 release

so, Understand that is not my problem ... but melabs' !!!

I've had a quick look to see if I could debug it by myself ... just found the problem occurs with > 127 ASCII input ( keyboard ) values.

I'm just a system user ... and my computer knowledge stops at the letters stamped on my keyboard !!!
