PIC Delay calculator

[Nigel Goodwin]

hi, i'm beginner of pic.
can i ask what is the meaning of below instruction

goto $+2

what is the meaning of the $ sign?

$ is the current address, it's explained in the MPASM/MPLAB helpfile.

GOTO $+2 is a shortcut and can trip you up when you switch from 16F to 18F PICs.

The $ is the current address and the +2 adds two to the current address and jumps there. It's a popular skip instruction.

 

[Mr RB]

goto $+2 jumps forward 2 instructions;
$ = program counter (where we are now)
$+2 = program counter+2

Great Delay Calculator

I've created some software that has a delay calcultor and cycle calculator. you can get it free from picokit.com

**broken link removed**

The Software is called PicoFlow LT and has a number of features.
If you can think of other tools I could include in this software then please let me know.

Thanks,
