Making a menu

[chrisshortys]

well i went back to it, i stripped it right back to basics to ensure the buttons were working and tested it a command at a time and got it working!
It dint like the way i had used the IF and ENDIF commands...

start:

IHOURS=0
IMINUTES=3



HOURSI:
If Butup=0 then
IHOURS=IHOURS+1
endif
IF BUTdwn=0 THEN
IHOURS=IHOURS-1
ENDIF
IF BUTSTART=0 THEN
GOTO MINSI
ENDIF
pause 50
GOSUB TIMESETUP
GOTO HOURSI

MINSI:
PAUSE 5000
MINSI1:
IF BUTUP=0 THEN
IMINUTES=IMINUTES+1
ENDIF
IF BUTDWN=0 THEN
IMINUTES=IMINUTES-1
ENDIF
IF BUTRESET=0 THEN
GOTO HOURSI
ENDIF
IF BUTSTART=0 THEN
GOTO CONTINUE
ENDIF
PAUSE 50
GOSUB TIMESETUP
GOTO MINSI1


timesetup:
pause 50
LCDOUT $FE, 1, "GAME LENGTH"
LCDOut $FE,$C0,DEC2 IHours,":",DEC2 IMinutes,":00.00"
PAUSE 50
REturn

'butup and butdwn


Continue:

LCDOUT $FE, 1, "Settings Saved"
LCDOut $FE,$C0,DEC2 IHours,":",DEC2 IMinutes,":00.00"
pause 6000
goto continue
end

So with that fully working i plonked it back into the other code im working on and now it freezes again doing what the original coding did and getting lost after adding the first hour....
More time to play around tommorow night i guess.

Well, that's obviously not the full code so we can't help you figure out what's causing the lock-up...

[chrisshortys]

Well i didn't post it for a reason you see. I wanted to try and solve the problem myself. It's all well and good me using the forums for help but if i dont try and dont some on my own im never going to progress!
This was one thing i was majorly criticised over by a previous line manager, not knowing when to ask for help and trying to do it all myself so now im trying to find a happy medium.

Anyway now back to the project!
I got the code working by going through line by line and rebuilding it in the main project thats all good but.... i now have a new error off MPLAB when i try and compile the coding:

"Operand contains unresolvable labels or is too complex"

Any idea on what this means guys?

Somebody should 'sticky' that statement and make it required reading for newbies...

Is that the FULL error or are there extra numbers that go with it? If there are numbers, they may point to either a line in the original source code, or, if using MPASM, the assembly listing as to where the error has occured. I think in this case, it might be simply a misplaced space or extra ' or " somewhere in there, a punctuation thing.
Otherwise, post the code

[chrisshortys]

Its the error code from the compillier from asm to hex in mplabs. This is the full error code

So from what you said its proberly just a coding error somwhere, I shall go and have a look in the coding again!
Was just making sure that the error didn't mean i had used up all of the memory on the chip, its getting a bit long now at 468 lines! Ive never had such a large projet so i dont know what happens when you fill the chip up to the brim!

Breaking the forum too now! got The text that you have entered is too long (174172 characters). Please shorten it to 10000 characters long.
come up when i tried to post so had to chop the code but you get the idea!

[skimask]

Looks to me like you've got one PIC selected for compiling/assembling, but have the code written for another PIC.

My latest project is up to 5,600 lines now. I'd guess another 4,000 or so to go. MCS and/or PBP and/or MPLAB will let you know when it gets too long.

ok now thats just weird!

I hadnt changed anything for that to happen......

I just went through the programe and commented out all the code i added and removed the comments one by one and it compilied fine........

I must be being haunted or somthing :s

But thanks alot for your time!

It's good to know im not runnign out of space just yet! I had a look at those youtube vids of your latest project the other day and they realy are scary the amount of work and knowledge in them!
