I've done it again

[karenhornby]

I've been through the searches trying to find the answer to this, and have also googled it as well as trying to read the manual
I'm trying to get an LCD to display something if both port C.1 AND port C.2 are high, but display something different if the ports are low
my code is

 IF PORTC.1 = 0 AND PORT C.2 = 0 then lcdout $FE,1,"test 1"
       If PORTC.1 = 1 AND PORT C.2 = 1 then LCDOUT $FE,1,"Test 2"

I've tried all the usual by trying

 IF (PORTC.1 = 0) AND (PORT C.2 = 0) then lcdout $FE,1,"test 1"
       If (PORTC.1 = 1) AND (PORT C.2 = 1) then LCDOUT $FE,1,"Test 2"

and various other combinations
Promise I'll try not to ask stupid questions again (for today anyway )
Forgot to say I'm using PBPro 2.5 and Microcode Studio to assemble it, and Picflash to program, by the way I still cant find any way of setting OSC to HS I've tried various suggestions, and read the thread http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=543 but none work, I'm guessing its something to do with the rubbish Picflash program I'm using?

remove the space in the "port c.2"

remove the space in the "port c.2"

I should have been born a Blonde!
Cant believe I'be been so stupid not to spot that
Thanks

BTW Tried solving the HS problem too by using @_config OSC_HS It assembles fine, but changed nothing when Picflash is run, Oscillator XT is still selected

because you're using PM to compile. use

@    device  pic16F877A, hs_osc, wdt_on, lvp_off, protect_off

Nope wont take it, comes up with WARNING 207 found label after colum 1.(device)
and Error 122 illegal opcode (pic16f877A)
BTW Tried

 -pPIC$target-device$ -f$hex-filename$ -e -w

but it just wont auto program with Picflash even when I put those paramaters in., does it manually fine but still have to change the XT to HS

[mister_e]

@    __CONFIG _HS_OSC & _LVP_OFF

You must make sure you PGM jumper settings are right too.

Some PIC may have ADCs or else fancy multiplexed stuff on this port. You want to make sure they're disabled first, unless you will have some erratic results.

I usually use something a little bit different

PORTC21Value=PORTC & 3 

IF PORTC21 =1 then ...
if PORTC21=2 then ...
IF PORTC21=3 then ...

This read the whole PORT in oneshot and may override some RMW issue.

Make sure you have any kind of pull-up / down resistor in case you're reading PushButtons

There's nothing bad with PicFlash. You need to set your config fuses in your code and when you import the .HEX file, it will import/change the Config Fuses for you.

You can lauch PICFlash in MCS. You need to add a programmer in the list. View>>Compile and program option>> programmer and folllow the instructions.

I use the following parameters line

-pPIC$target-device$ -f$hex-filename$ -e -w
