Picbasic Pro Demo assembly errors

[BrianT]

There is an error in the code that is masked by your HIGH & LOW commands later on.

TRISB = %11110000 sets port bits 7-4 as INPUTS and port bits 3-0 as OUTPUTS. This is opposite to what you are trying to do.

The HIGH xxxx and LOW xxxx over ride the TRIS statement and force the selected pin to an output. If you later need more code space and use Portb.7 = 1 instead of HIGH PortB.7 to save a few bytes it will all crash.

In the current implementation you do not need the TRISB statement so either fix it or scrap it.
You can reduce code size by using the TRISB statement followed by
PortB.n = 1 or PortB.n = 0

Hi BrianT,

I guess you didn't read the post by Acetronics who told me (essentially) the same thing -problem corrected, thank you very much. In addition, I had replied back to my own post and said "Works like a charm now". Given that, why did you think I hadn't gotten it fixed - that is, unless you hadn't realy read the entire thread!

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the help, but I usually need to be told only once (unless it's by my wife - she says it takes her telling me three times before it really sinks in!)

Anyway, thanks!

Mike
