How do I detect a polarity change on an input?

jessey · - 7th February 2008, 03:47

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to thank you guys, Darrel, Anand and BobK for your help and to show the results of Al Williams Stamp-to-Firecracker code translated into PBP. Maybe someone here that's thinking about getting involved with X10 will find it interesting. It works like a charm and I'm really pleased with the results. I'll do away with the push buttons tomorrow night and connect the LabXT outputs to this circuit and it should work great. Using X10 modules with the LabXT's remotext.bas sample program will make the remote control functions over the telephone really easy to implement.

Thanks Again
jessey

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to compile the program X10_firecracker.bas contained in my last post here dated the 6th February 2008 to a 18F452 and am getting these two warnings below?

Warning[202] c\pbp\pond controller~1.mac67:Argument out of range. Least significant bits used.

Warning[202] c\pbp\pond controller~1.mac83:Argument out of range. Least significant bits used.

When I comment out these two lines of code below in the program then it compiles:
READ housetbl+house,byt
READ unittbl+(unit//8),tmp

Would anyone have any suggestions as to why it compiles for the 877 but not for the 452 as I am at a total loss on this one? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
jessey

Hi Jessey,
It compiles without errors if you use PBL to compile. Gotta have ver 2.5 for that.
JS

**mister_e** · - 28th May 2008, 14:41

I have the same compilation eror here... solved if i used...

Code:

READ (0+housetbl+house),byt
READ (0+unittbl+(unit//8)),tmp

Many thanks Joe S and mister e,

I think I'll be upgrading to 2.50 pretty soon and in the meantime thanks a lot mister e for that work around. Very much appreciated!

Thanks Again
jessey

I had the problem with PBP 2.50... anyways, it always worth to upgrade.
