heh np ill b writing more and posting in a minute

dawson · 24th October 2009, 05:28 PM

Thanks I appreciate all the help

I am still a little confused with the array as i get the error ";expected, but 'char' found"

Also I am unsure how you output to the lcd i have been doing it like this:

Lcd_Out(1, 3, "Temperature:")

AtomSoft · 24th October 2009, 06:58 PM

Are you using a 2x16 LCD? If so I'll post my LCD code so you can see how I am doing mines. U should post ur code so I can see where the error is

dawson · 24th October 2009, 07:06 PM

yes I am using a hd44780 compatible 2X16 display

here is what I have so far:

AtomSoft · 24th October 2009, 07:21 PM

can you post all the code because this is confusing to me... also what are you writing in? like which compiler...? C18, CSS, Hi-Tech, MikroC?

Where are your buttons connected to ?

dawson · 24th October 2009, 07:28 PM

that is all the code so far as I have not tried to combine it with my other code yet because I am just trying the menu on its own, I can post the other code if that is what you mean?

I have 3 switches atm wanting to use 4th as a cancel button

menu/enter - RA2
up - RA3
down - RA4

AtomSoft · 24th October 2009, 07:37 PM

ok .. so you have LCD code to show data on lcd already? Like normal text?

Ok um... in code the buttons are lined up like

PORTA = BINARY 0000-0000

Pressing:
RA2 would result in : 0000-0100
RA3 would result in : 0000-1000
RA4 would result in : 0001-0000

This means we have to change the code to accommodate using the upper byte as well...

um.... something like...

Code:

#define KeyPORT ((PORTA>>2)&0x0F)

This way if PORTA = 0000-0100 (aka RA2 pressed)
it will come up as 0000-0001 since we right shift 2 times

AtomSoft · 24th October 2009, 07:41 PM

Can you post your LCD code please,,, especially Lcd_Out

dawson · 24th October 2009, 07:44 PM

Yes I already have lcd working wih normal text.

Here is how i think it should be implemented with my ds1820 code:

I know that the MainMenu items will not display anything this way but before I get that far I get an error when compilieing because of the array. I am using microc compiler

dawson · 24th October 2009, 07:46 PM

lcd_out() must be in the libraries on mikroc?

AtomSoft · 24th October 2009, 08:11 PM

try :

Code:

 unsigned char MainMenuLIST[2][16] = {
{"Option 1"},
{"Option 2"}
};

dawson · 24th October 2009, 08:23 PM

yes that has solved the error now I can compile the code but i still need to know how LCD_STR() works in comparison to my lcd_out();

AtomSoft · 24th October 2009, 08:41 PM

I'll have to look at lcd out and compare them.

AtomSoft · 24th October 2009, 08:52 PM

I have 2 LCD_STR

Code:

void LCD_STR(unsigned rom char *text){
    while(*text){
        LCD_DATA(*text++,1);
    }
}
void LCD_STR2(unsigned char *text){
    while(*text){
