Moving the LCD

[PICante]

Thanks Steve,

I’ll try this and get back with the result later!
Will try to figure out which bits I need and how the should be set.

Thanks again!

Hello again!

I made a small change to the config bits (_INTRC_IO ) and get “Owerwriting previous address contents (2007)” from MCS+. The exact same message pops up with the config bits unchanged. I found a few differences in “P16F88.inc” compared to the datasheet, one example is “BODEN” vs “BOREN” and I am not sure what to make of this. Here’s how the code looks now:


@ __CONFIG _CONFIG1, _CP_OFF & _CCP1_RB0 & _DEBUG_OFF & _WRT_PROTECT_OFF & _CPD_OFF & _LVP_OFF & _BODEN_OFF & _MCLR_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _INTRC_IO

@ __CONFIG _CONFIG2, _IESO_OFF & _FCMEN_OFF

DEFINE OSC 8
OSCCON = %01110000 ' INTRC = 8MHz
TRISB = 0

'---------------- move LCD to portB---------
DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTB
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 0
DEFINE LCD_RSREG PORTB
DEFINE LCD_RSBIT 5
DEFINE LCD_EREG PORTB
DEFINE LCD_EBIT 4
DEFINE LCD_BITS 4
DEFINE LCD_LINES 2
'------------------

LCDOUT $FE, 1,"TEST"




Thanks!

Do it the way it is in the 16F88.inc file
The configs liisted require you to use MPASM as the assembler.

Joe, he use MPASM already, hence why he got Argument out of range (not a valid config register address)”

Picante, read this one...

Hi Joe.

I am using MPASM!


Thanks.

Hi Joe.

I am using MPASM!


Thanks.

OK good. Seems I always get in trouble when using the Wife's computer . . .
OK so all you have to do is open the 16f88.inc file in PBP and insert a semicolon before the config statement like so:
;__config _CONFIG1, _HS_OSC & _WDT_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF and it will compile.

Allright, I edited the PBP inc file by changing the oscillator to internal this way I don’t need the config fuses in the code. Right or wrong, it’s convenient when testing out things and I am on to the next step in the code, the ADCIN. We’ll see how that will develop, might need more help in the near future.

Thanks for now Guys!

You’re the best!
