Conversion to degrees help

but value's are getting to big to fit in a 16bit var

Post a little code and an example of the values you are getting.
And maybe think about upgrading to 2.5. The LONGS are cool.

Thanks Dave,

Can you point me how to use the LONGS because when reading the PBP manual (online version and PDF @ melabs) they say 16bit is the maximum
If i try to compile more than 16bit it give's me an error (i upgraded to 250.B and use MPASM)
Are we talking about the same PICbasic ? I use Picbasic PRO from melabs

Yes, we are talking about the same PBP. The online version of the manual is a few versions old.

At the risk of saying you have an illegal copy, where is the printed manual you got when you upgraded?

[RFsolution]

Yes it is a risk !!!

Manual is at home, i'm a registred user since the early beginning of PB long before PBP excists hihi

I will have a look at home

Hi RFS

you have to make a little change in MPLAB to have PBPLong to work ...

you must select PBPL.exe as the "executable" in the "Language tools location" window, instead of PBPW ...


Melabs SHOULD have provided a DLL to simplify that ... ( I asked them When, but got a "may be yes - may be no" answer from them ...

LAZY People ...
