How do I give a radio control car autonomous control

[Kenjones1935]

AXICOM, part of TYCO, has a 15 page .pdf file giving the specs to their P2 V23079 Relay product line. No where does it say how, exactly, a latching relay works. It must be common knowledge except hereabouts.

I have never coded in BASIC. I know C and C++ and a few (if I could remember them) older languages. Today I wanted to see what is being INCLUDEd when at the beginning a program I see:
"include 'M16F88x.INC' ; PM header" see below.

Today my question is about PBP INCLUDE files. (see below example) Where are NOLIST and LIST and ifdef and XALL defined? Not, as far as I can find, in the smallish MicroEngineering Labs PICBASIC PRO Compiler booklet. Is there a more complete spec on the WEB? I assume there exists a well constructed public PBP library. Where do I find "intrc_osc_noclkout" (see below code)? When I was working each company I worked for maintained its own C libraries. Is that the way this world works?

No, the data sheet isn't very specific about how it works. But it appears from this data sheet, that you energize one coil to "latch" the relay on, and enrgize the other coil to release it. Or you can reverse the polarity on a coil to reverse its effect (e.g., one polarity to latch, and reverse polarity to release.
I think the

At the bottom of pg 4, right hand most of the 3 diagrams, (where it says
"Contacts in reset position. Both coils can be used either as set or reset coils.". I think that bit applies to your relays. You can either energize one coil to "set" the relay and the other coil to "release"..., or you can use one coil and hit it with one polarity to "set", and reverse polarity to release".

Hi Ken,
Those are assembly language instructions, find them in PIC data sheets.
Section 15.

Ken,

You will also want to look in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPASM Suite for the *.inc file for your chip. That is where you will find all of the config options, near the end of the file.

To learn a little more about PBP and includes try this.

Start a new project, leave it blank and compile ( you may have to put the configs in you code space if that is the way you are doing it, but nothing more).

Looks at the ASM generated. PBP will do all of the setup from the default includes.

Now add
INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"
to your code. Compile again and look at the ASM file.

You all posted in the "PBP projects for R/C models" thread code specifically for the 12F675. My PIC is a 16F887.

I am at a loss to translate from one PIC to the other. My PBP compiler (set up for 16F887) has no idea what to do with GPIO.x references. When I set it for 12F675 it is happy, but the resulting code is useless to my PICkit2.

Is it my job to read about the 12F675 and try to figure out which register in my 16F887 is equivalent? That would be an excellent homework assignment.

Yup, pretty much your job to pull the data sheet and compare pin/port assingments.
Even if you found code for the PIC you are using the pin assingments would probably be different from your setup.

The ADC and other built in hardware things can be confusing from PIC to PIC. So when those kind of things come up we can help you there.
