I recently picked up a copy of Picbasic and have been testing some sample files through it to see how it converts. I am seeing some asm that doesn't look right. I'm pretty new to asm but I will let you guys take a look:

PB code in sample:

Code:

        Include "modedefs.bas"          ' Include serial modes
SO      con     0                       ' Define serial output pin
B       con     5                       ' Define Button input pin

B0      var     byte

B0 = 0				           ' Zero Button Working Buffer
loop:   Button B,1,10,5,B0,0,notp       ' Check Button (Skip if Not Pressed)
Serout SO,N2400,["Press",13,10]        ' Indicate Button Pressed
notp:   Serout SO,N2400,[#B0,13,10]     ' Show Working Variable
Pause 100			                     ' Visual Pause
Goto loop

asm output:

Code:

Notice there are two include files there, macros and a library - I suspect those make sense out of what's there.

Sceadwian · 30th May 2009, 09:15 PM

Why are you trying to take apart a basic compilers results? It's going to be hard to read, compilers don't do things like people do.

be80be · 30th May 2009, 11:37 PM

The Basic compilers will out put pages of includes in assembly views and only use 10 or 20 lines in the code and it never looks like assembly to me If you want to no

It's easier to learn assembly then to learn how to read the output basic spits out
in asm

Sceadwian · 30th May 2009, 11:40 PM

Especially if you use math routines. The ASM is gonna be a nightmare.

GatorGnet · 31st May 2009, 04:41 AM

As long as it is valid ASM. I have used basic for years and feel more comfortable with it. However, I am still going to learn asm better.

This is part of the asm that looks "funny".

Code:

SEROUT?C	00Ah
	PAUSE?C	064h

be80be · 31st May 2009, 05:01 AM

It just loading some values from ram But like I said it's easier to learn assemble then to read that.
It sending what at (00Ah)
and if it reads (064h)
It done is all I can tell from that

PBP asm is Macro Based, easier to read (sort of) but there's no chance you'll learn from it. If you open the .LST file, then it might help a little bit more. If you open the .LIB file in your \PBP folder, then you'll discover how each macro are made, but still, it's not 'pure' asm.

SEROUT?C 00Ah send 0A hex serially, PAUSE?C 064h is your PAUSE 100.

GatorGnet · 31st May 2009, 07:49 PM

As long as it converts to hex for programming. Would I just use MPlab and convert this to a hex file? Sorry it has been a while with programming pics.

be80be · 31st May 2009, 08:14 PM

Mplab It will not convert a asm from pic basic to a hex assemby has no idea what

Quote:

SEROUT?C 00Ah
PAUSE?C 064h

Is assembly is like this

Code:

#include <p16F690.inc>
     __config (_INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _CP_OFF & _BOR_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _FCMEN_OFF)
     org 0
Start:
     bsf     STATUS,RP0       ; select Register Page 1
     bcf     TRISC,0          ; make IO Pin C0 an output
     bcf     STATUS,RP0       ; back to Register Page 0
     bsf     PORTC,0          ; turn on LED C0 (DS1)
     goto    $                ; wait here
     end

PIC BASIC directly generates a HEX file.

I was thinking the same thing why would you want to use MPlab when you get your hex from picbasic
