Need 4 modes with just 3 switches - need all modes to be selectable QUICKLY!

Bruce,

Alas, it's not compiling on my PC
(PS I'm using V1.0 - the latest DTS-14.BAS)

Hi hank ...

Did you select the right processor ???

Compiles fine, here ( 386 Words ).

PBP 2.60 " not patched yet" ...

Hi Alain,

I'm selecting my intended PIC (a 16F690)

Likewise PBP V2.6 (unpatched) but just patched it about 20 mins ago - still didn't compile (same errors)

I'm thinking it's likely something to do with my DTS_INTS-14.bas (I used the one at the bottom of this page... http://darreltaylor.com/DT_INTS-14/intro2.html )

( A quick search for some of the errors I'm seeing brings up stuff relating to DT's interupt routines - so likely something I've not got right wrt that aspect )

[Bruce]

Drop a copy of DT_INTS-14.bas and ReEnterPBP.bas in the same directory as the file you're compiling, or save the file to the same directory they're already in.

Thanks Bruce.....that seems to have got rid of the majority of my errors.

After dropping it into the right directory 9there was one in there...but it must have been ab older version?), I did get some relating to wsave, a judiscous amount of trial & error with commenting the DTS_INTS-14.bas....

wsave   VAR BYTE    $20     SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank0
'wsave   VAR BYTE    $70     SYSTEM      ' alternate save location for W 
                                         ' if using $70, comment out wsave1-3

' --- IF any of these three lines cause an error ?? ---------------------------- 
'       Comment them out to fix the problem ----
' -- It depends on which Chip you are using, as to which variables are needed --
wsave1  VAR BYTE    $A0     SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank1
wsave2  VAR BYTE    $120    SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank2
'wsave3  VAR BYTE    $1A0    SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank3
' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the only error I have left is this one....

Error [118] [filepath]test_ioc.asm Overwriting previous address content (2007)

....which I'm without a clue how to sort! (help!)

[Bruce]

The last error is because you have config settings in your code, and in your 16F690.INC file.

Success!!! (both with the compilation and on the breadboard!) ie if I Press switch 1 the LED blinks once, press Sw2 blinks twice etc - you'd never have thought a couple of blinking LEDs could make a grown man so happy!)

Many *many* thanks Bruce for hanging in there with me - now off to have a dabble (& work out what you've done!)

[HankMcSpank]

Ok, having just dabbled with this on breadboard for a short while, my immediate thought is that the wait for the finger being lifted from the switch, ever so slightly delays the led from lighting up instantly... which makes the actual switch depress feel a tad unresponsive.

Without the wait, then there's obviously going to be another interupt when the finger is removed - but is this such a concern? - can't this second interupt be ignored with dedicated code?

Poor Bruce ...

It's not a book upon PBP he'll have to write , but a 32 parts encyclopaedia ...

sure this explains ...

No, no, Bruce, please , ... do not strike the head

Alain

I have a question about this setup you can get 4 modes from two switches or do you really need 5 modes or no_mode also. could you always start in mode 1 which would be no button pressed? mode 2 left button, mode 3 right button, mode 4 both buttons, it would be smaller.
sorry I may not have followed this thread correctly.
