Has anyone tried AI with PICBASIC

[richard]

writing code involves a lot of troubleshooting and problem solving. I don't think that we are there yet with AI.

you will be able to detect when AI is "ready",
it will cost an arm and a leg to use it

Another example when AI code works on PBP - Multiple ADC button reading and debouncing:

ReadButton:
    TempE = 0


    ' Repeat check 5 times for debounce
    For cnter = 1 to 5
        ADCIN 0, adcval        ' Read from AN0 (adjust channel if needed)


        If (adcval >= 230) And (adcval <= 270) Then
            TempE = 1
        ElseIf (adcval >= 290) And (adcval <= 330) Then
            TempE = 2
        ElseIf (adcval >= 380) And (adcval <= 440) Then
            TempE = 3
        ElseIf (adcval >= 580) And (adcval <= 700) Then
            TempE = 4
        Else
            TempE = 0
        EndIf


        ' If reading doesn’t match previous stable result, reset debounce
        If cnter = 1 Then
            E = TempE
        Else
            If TempE <> E Then
                E = 0
                Return
            EndIf
        EndIf
        Pause 10    ' small delay between samples
    Next cnter


Return

However, it still needed tweaking, because it used counter as variable name, which is reserved word, so I've changed it to cnter and this code works and far more efficient than my own - shown below:

keyhandler:
babo:
adcin 0,adcval
if adcval<100 then goto resetvar 'reset internal debounce variables 
if adcval>230 and adcval<270 then a=a+1
if adcval>290 and adcval<340 then b=b+1
if adcval>385 and adcval<440 then c=c+1
if adcval>570 and adcval<660 then d=d+1
cnter=cnter+1 'increase loop iteration counter
if cnter=100 then goto analyzer 'if enough time pressed, go to analyzer
goto babo
Analyzer:
' --- Comparison Logic ---
IF (A = B) OR (A = C) OR (A = D) OR (B = C) OR (B = D) OR (C = D) THEN
    E = 5                              ' Tie detected
ELSE
    IF (A > B) AND (A > C) AND (A > D) THEN
        E = 1                          ' A is greatest
    ELSEIF (B > A) AND (B > C) AND (B > D) THEN
        E = 2                          ' B is greatest
    ELSEIF (C > A) AND (C > B) AND (C > D) THEN
        E = 3                          ' C is greatest
    ELSEIF (D > A) AND (D > B) AND (D > C) THEN
        E = 4                          ' D is greatest
    ELSE
        E = 5                          ' Safety fallback (should not reach here)
    ENDIF
ENDIF
resetvar:
cnter=0
'a=0
b=0
c=0
d=0
return

I think the part of if-then block can be faster with smaller code size like this:

If adcval<230 then TempE=0
if adcval >= 230 Then TempE = 1
If adcval >= 290 Then TempE = 2
If adcval >= 380 Then TempE = 3
If adcval >= 580 ThenTempE = 4
if adcval > 700 then  TempE = 0

But since there will be quantisizing error and the adcval may play at least one bit, this will fail most of the time:

     ' If reading doesn’t match previous stable result, reset debounce
        If cnter = 1 Then
            E = TempE
        Else
            If TempE <> E Then
                E = 0

this part should allow a margin of at least 2 digit play for adcval.

True. Unless they have open source code like in Github. I think that eventually we will get there, but we are not there yet. Maybe the new "programmer" in the future will be the professional that can ask AI how to write very complex programming code for a complex project.

[CuriousOne]

There are some open source AI projects, like Fooocus already. You can download and run them locally, without internet.

AI is just unregulated theft of intellectual property with no payment for or even acknowledgement of the source.[programming is IP and an art form too]
The AI generated result is used with no consequences for its impact and no need to even identify that it was AI generated. A brave new world

Very true.

My other job has to do with book publishing. Many well known publishers have sued the AI companies for this exact theft. Serious problems have risen in every aspect of intellectual property (writing, programming, art designing etc).

and that is funny thing.
Human can learn from other works and create his art, literature or music based on that - this is fine. But same not fine for AI?

Humans can get sued for plagiarism, patent infringement, etc. AI cannot.
