loop problem.

[Roger_NO]

Hi,

Im tryning to get a port on my PIC16F628A to go logic high a specific number of times.

I am currently using the BSF and the BCF commands, but the code is messy and takes to much space. Is there a way to loop a specific number of times, so i dont have to repeat the BSF and BCF so many times?

Eksample "in my mind"

Start
 bsf       portb,0
 call       Delay
 bcf       portb,0
 goto     start (3 times then continue to the next line)

next line
..
..
..
..

Is it possible to use the DECFSZ command?

Thanks!

Of course it is, that's what it's there for - check my tutorials where it's used a LOT - one example, the RS232 receive and transmit routines.

ok

ok.

Will this work?

cblock     0x20
              
              d1
              d2
              d3
              count1

endc

;Port define

 banksel    TRISA
 movlw      0xff
 movwf      TRISA 
 movlw      0x00 
 movwf      TRISB
 banksel    PORTA

;init

 movlw      d'3'
 movwf      count1
 clrf       PORTA
 clrf       PORTB
 
Start
 btfss      PORTA,0
 goto       Start
S1
 bsf        PORTB,0
 call       delay1
 bcf        PORTB,0
 call       delay1
 decfsz     count1
 goto       S1
 
Next line...
