Hi, all there..

i have a problem with the PICBasic programing (i'm a beginner in using the PICBasic). I have aproject using pic16f877a and lcd. PIC16f877a take the number from the keypad and send to the lcd but not directly. only three numbers for ach parameter "T1= 000 max" and "T2= 000 min". (my be the idea of the project isn't clear see the code)

the problem:
1- for the first parameter only two numbers displied the first and the third digites, second digite isn't displied.:confused:

2- for the second parameter only the second digite is displied, but the first and the second digites aren't displied.:confused:

a tried to solve the problem many time but i couldn't. please help.:confused::confused:

I have never seen an instruction "CASE is = 2". This would normally be written "CASE 2". Try removing all the "is =" bits.

Mike.
 
Hi, Pommie..

CASE IS (variable) is on of the PICBasic commands. I have read it from my PICBasic referance book. It's just like CASE = (variable)...

I tride CASE without Is, but the result is the same..

hey, guys is it a puzzel.????? :confused::confused:

As is your code.

I see a GOTO MAIN but no MAIN, I do see a MAIN_KEY. It is difficult to follow your main code loop. Try coding the program without using GOTO.
 
As stated, I see no MAIN: in the program and can not imagine this will compile.

You also "CALL" inter_temp but end that routine with a GOTO LOOP that just loops? You need to put a RETURN at the end of that routine as well. Is this for debugging purpose?

The PICBasic I have does not have a CASE, so this must be PICBasic pro or something.
 
Hi, there..

I have updated the code, but i still have the same problem.

actually, i'm wondering why this error is occurred. :confused:

Or, can anyone give me another way to get three numbers from the keypad and disply them in the LCD.

Are you having problems with LCDOUT not showing the digits on the LCD display? If you are and you assume PICBasic routines are golden and hardware is too, did you check to see if your variables all have values in them.

The case statements look better now.
