does anyone see anyhing right off hand that causes the delay_full subroutine to not return. . disregard the comments. theyre all out of order. gotta be something stupid
thanks

I guess it must be related to the fact that you have two labels with the same name. The first one is the one in the symbol table and the second one got thrown on the floor. So the timer keeps being reinitialized and it never sets the flag.

Throw that rotton compiler or interpreter away for not telling you about the duplicate label. That's really a crock!
 
Thanks Papa ! Not sure who`s the worst really: the programmer for looking right at it and not seeing the obvious, or the "rotten compiler" for not pointing it out in the first place. The compiler`s not too bad really, does a pretty good job in basic, but stretches a bit thin in asm. Been wondering about the programmer for some time now.:D
 
Looking at your code posts, I was wondering what compiler it was? And PapaB is right, delay_full should have been flagged by it.

For the amount of ASM in your posts, why are you not just using MPLABs free ASM to start with?

Its a Mikrobasic compiler. I`m using it because the remainder of the pogram I`m working on will be in basic. Mikrobasic has some built-in ic2 routines that will be handy later on. Only the packet recieve part needs to be in asm . And tuth of the matteri s , it probably doesnt need to be. But I`m having so much fun with the asm I`m gonna write the packet rec part in asm anyway. And, I dont have a lot of experience in asm, so the practice is good too. The limitations of the compiler make it just that more interesting. On top of that, the red gun driver transistor is burned out in this monitor and I dont want to take the time to fix it. Which makes it even more interesting because labels in the the compiler window are normally in red and stand out."That which doesnt kill you makes you stronger", or so they say.:D
Maybe you have an idea on this:
a 12 bit packet is input on portb.7. the first 6 bits are address bits and the next are data bits
all I need to do now is send the first 6 bits to byte A and he second to byte B
I undrstand how to shift the bits in
In basic to seperate them intio 2 bytes would be:
for bit= 1 to 12
if bit <6 then do address thing
else do data thing
next bit
or similar. sure you get the idea
but nothing comes to mind an asm especially with the f87 meager instruction set.
however the days still young and I`m still working on the first cup of cofee.
Would appreciate your thoughts.

zkt
the second cup did the trick
this is why God invented flags

I pulled Mikrobasic, have not looked at it yet. Looks good based on the free version, it allows a large byte .hex file (in demo) so I will look at it. And I think they had cross platform on chips (very nice). If I recall. I think I pulled an AVR and PIC version if the same one. Pulled it a week or so ago, and one
day I hope to have time to look at it..

If you are into PICS, PROTON is the answer, but they limit the chips you can use in the free version (and I did not have those handy) and 50 lines of code so you can not realize they have are the future high level compiler for the PICs (IMHO)..

I have spent my budge for now (wife kids, etc) and just found my Atmel programmer is broke. So a programmer is next for me.

I normally use RVKBASIC on the AVRs for most items (not now, programmer is POOF). But last project was MPLABs/ASM 12f509 and it is really nice. And there are routines all over for it. But I see why now, the built in libraries are nice.

On the portb.7 thing in BASIC, you will have to "for next" it and if less than 7 (not 6 since the for next started at 1 and want the first 6 bits). Pretty much like you have. In ASM, you do it the same way, just more typing.. In ASM, set up the loop and a counter, and flip a bit to to flag another memory location.

You are tring to read it in and then write it to the ports right? So you have to save them in RAM (ASM) or variables (BASIC) then write them out.
 
Thats a bummer about the programmer alrite. Hope you can fix it. Not sure I follow you on the Proton; 50 lines of code and a sparce pic inventory seems to shoot it in the head. Mkbas has a shipload of librarys, 2k of code, and a worthless forum for free. also availale in pascal and c and avrs. Theres talk about adding some gps stuff in the next release. I shouldnt be so hard on the forum. Theres some very knmowlegegable people there and a lot of good free code.It aint too lively and very serious.
I`m about to wrap this part of the project up.

Fixed it last night. So not looking at ICD2 again. I see Mike has a small one and Bill has a little larger one. Either way I have to order a chip.

I did load the MKbasic PIC, if it does 509 I will use on my next project. Pulled the PIC, AVR and PICDsp version, 2K is a lot of code. If no 12f509, back to MPLABs again.

Thanks for the info. Looks like that will be my pick for now. I bought MELabs and Mbasic, not happy with them. One is bloat the other is crippled until you come up with another $150 to get IF ELSE ENDIF. hehehe.. If I didn't want IF ELSE ENDIF I would use ASM.
