    If_Then_Else_Endif

    I spoke too soon. Even though PORTB.1 = 1, the Else branch is being executed. The purpose of the jumper (on RB0) is to select PWR-Meter or Voltmeter function. With RB1 = 1 the program should not go into the Else branch (Voltmeter).

    Thank you GogFlur66, it's a great help. I will continue with your version (in #2) of the code.

    If_Then_Else_Endif

    The source code (Voltmeter.bas) is for a PIC18F2550 MCU. Triss - Do you mean TRISA, TRISB, etc.? I am an "amateur" programmer and I do know that many peaple say, that any BASIC dialect and especially using "Goto" is a so called "Spaghetti Code". For tens of years I have not used any BASIC...

    If_Then_Else_Endif

    I want to control the program execution depending on a jumper setting in the hardware. The program Voltmeter should execute only for RB0 = 0 What is wrong here? --------------------------------------------------------------- PORTB.0 = 1 'Simulating Jumper Pin RB0 = 1 If...

    Hex file size depending on programmer software for PICkit 3

    I checked again and compared the files read from the same PIC with the same hex content. - Image1.png shows the file that has been programmed into the PIC (red) and the two files read with US-Burn and PICkitminus respectively. - Image2.png shows the file comparison PIC content vs read from the PIC.

    Hex file size depending on programmer software for PICkit 3

    I don't quite understand the question: "Is the chip erased before download?" Dowwnload what? Do you mean "Write"? I always "Erase" and "Blank Check" the chip before I "Write" to it. The large hex file is a "Read"-back of the compact hex file created with the compiler. I am attaching a screenshot...

    Hex file size depending on programmer software for PICkit 3

    I programmed a PIC18F2550 on "PICkit 3" using an older software called "US-Burn" (see screenshot) and "PICkitminus" respectively. Please find attached the source file and the two hex files. PICkit minus produces a far larger hex file. Disabling eememory reduces the file size only slightly. -...

    Can I install v5.76 over v5.72, or would I have to uninstall the present version first?

    Moving from mikroBasic to OshonSoft Basic

    Hello DogFlu66, My version is 5.72, and I want to update to the latest (v5.76). Do I have to uninstall the present version prior to installing the new one? I can't remember, is there a download page for registered users or would I have to install the time limitted version (exe file)? I do have...

    I just wanted to check if the summing up (10-times loop) works correctly. What is wrong with this?
