Which PIC do I use?

[BeeBop]

Would you believe after only a week I've already used an 'overload' function? I didn't even realize that was a new feature. Very cool!

Mike

//  function prototypes

void PutLCD(unsigned char ptype, unsigned char pbyte);
void PutLCD(rom char *pdata);

//
//  example ->  PutLCD("K8LH Clock");
//
void PutLCD(rom char *pdata)
{
  char n = 0;                    //
  char temp;                     //
  while(temp = pdata[n++])       //
    PutLCD(dat,temp);            //
}

Guess I'd better get off here and get some work done!

Thanks for all the advice guys. Got myself some 16f628's and going to start learning on those, and I will take a look at the different compilers mentioned.

Hola Mike,

I know nothing about C.

What the "overload" function does?

Intrigued.

Aparently not enough to look it up
Try this https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/database/RHDB-7.1.3-Manual/prog/xfunc-overload.html

For the most part what it means is that you can have several functions with the same name and the compiler tells them apart by the number and types of paramets used in the call. Also see function signature.

A function's signature is a combination of the function's name; the number, order, and types of its parameters; as well as any qualifiers that can be applied to the function.
