DIP switch select delay

[Bruce]

It might help if someone knew what DIL 18 was.

[mister_e]

it's a 18 pins device with a DIL package I'll bet it's a black one

Some are dark brown. Some even have writing on them - I wonder what this one is?

Another clueless student trying to fudge a class project by the looks of it.

Yes it's 16F88 .. and it's 18pin... BLACK in color comes with some wording on top of it!! but I use my finger's to rub it off anyway.. and now it's unknown chips , so I put DIL18

Thanks mat janssen , this is what I've done first... I'm sure somewhere must have coded wrongly.. I'll check tonite again!

Thanks!

Something like this is where LOOKUP2 comes in handy.

    @ DEVICE PIC16F88, WDT_OFF,INTRC_OSC,MCLR_OFF,BOD_ON,LVP_OFF,PWRT_ON,PROTECT_OFF

    DEFINE  OSC 8
    DEFINE  NO_CLRWDT 1
    OSCCON  = %01110000 ' 8MHz
    CMCON   = 7	        ' disable analog comparators
    ANSEL   = 0         ' disable A/D module, all digital
    X VAR WORD
    Index VAR BYTE

    LED VAR PORTB.0    
    TRISA = %00111100   ' RA2 to RA5 inputs for DIP switch
    PORTB   = 0
    TRISB   = %11111110 ' RB0 for LED
    OPTION_REG = %11111111
    
    WHILE OSCCON.2 = 0  ' wait for internal osc stable before moving on
    WEND
    
Main:
    Index = (PORTA >> 2) & $0F ' Read DIP switch AND mask result
    LOOKUP2 Index,[200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900,1000,2000,_
    3000,4000,5000,6000,7000,8000],X
    HIGH LED
    PAUSE X
    LOW LED
    PAUSE X
    GOTO Main

    END

Change the delay periods in the table to suite your app.

Thanks Bruce!

your code helps alot, and it looks much simpler then what I've done... thanks again!

Hi Bruce,

 Index = (PORTA >> 2) & $0F ' Read DIP switch AND mask result

If I get this right . . translates to portA / 4 & %00001111 , what I do not get is what it means, are we doing math here to get a number ??? & = AND. What does it mean, Mask result?
I am really trying to get my head around how this works, because it works pretty sweet, Thanks
