Why is Mplab 5.20 a mess

[be80be]

Im trying to use the ADC and printF
and getting these errors

 

[be80be]

Here the whole ball of wax

It is so slow that it takes five minutes to get up to speed. Solution - drink more coffee.

Im down to there I think I'll stop using it lol
main.c:72:83: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 2, have 1

Ok the MCC is a great help in setting up the chip but it really sucks at giving errors.

Old school... IDE's appear to be the "new sliced bread" but if you have never handballed c code and linked on command line... You can't see the wood from the trees...

The problem here is ifdef.... Microchip trying to cater for every bloody chip they manufacture... Sloppy programmers cutting and pasting so there are different functions for each device...

Roll your own code.. I have written virtually every library I use... Even when I use MikroC I use my own libraries.. Sorry for the rant Burt!!!!

 

[Pommie]

Agree 100%, always avoid libraries I haven't written.

Ignore the 'errors' in the listing there, what happens when you compile it? - the spurious 'errors' (which are no such thing) seem pretty common, but don't affect compilation - and usually disappear when you compile it.

I know you all right I just don't get the fact that there own bull xxxx don't work i was doing the sample from there site
and there own code

printf("\n\rThe ADC Value is: %i ",ADCC_GetSingleConversion(channel_ANA4));

Gives a error
Then all them dumb errors come to life after that.
I'm thinking leave the MCC bull XXXX along and just dig in and do it all LOL

It's kind of like work I'm doing 5 car washes just opened one i did it was remodel.
I set up all the controls VFD's vale's for water and air and what's called a TCS which is a PLC controller
not a easy job when it's remodel.
Kind of like the MCC lol
But this the 6 one and it's sure nice to see the water and soap come on as the car moves down the line and the brush roll over the car.
with the mood lights coming on it's really cool.

I don't have much time to play with the pic chip but seem like i keep starting over with this MCC stuff.
Kind of like the car wash to get the job done I have to roll my own to get it done.
which i can.
I wish i had more time for C programming tho.
But I'm more of a hardware guy been wiring up motor controls and wiring for over 40 years now

I tend to use MCC to do the various settings, then strip the bits of code I want out

In particular it's valuable for setting the oscillator speed, which has a bewildering number of options.

I downloaded your zip file.
For whatever reason, the printf line came through with '?' instead of " when I made them quotes: printf("\n\rThe ADC Value is: %i ",ADCC_GetSingleConversion(channel_ANA4));
It built just fine - no errors at all. Of course I get a ton of warnings:

But those seem legitimate as you are not calling those routines. The last warning (pointer) is probably a C99 issue.

Now, all that was with 5.15...I will dl 5.20 and let you know if it is different.

Edit: Finished installing 5.20, no difference although it gave me a configuration defaut error when MPLABXIDE loaded, which was resolved simply by specifying or re-specifying the compiler (c in the tool chain xc8 2.05).

be80be Are you getting errors or warnings? Also, I don't see where you are defining POT

 

[Nigel Goodwin]

Just checked - I'm still using 4.15

 

[be80be]

Well i got a new computer so i downloaded everything new ive used this same code befor and it worked im going to get some new reading glasses my eyes bad from having my A1C at 13.5 for about a month

 

[nsaspook]

Just checked - I'm still using 4.15

Don't switch to V5.20, it's a mess. MPLABX version 5.15 is stable.

[be80be]

This is what it put in the adc.h

typedef enum
{
    POT =  0x4,
    channel_Vss =  0x3B,
    channel_Temp_Sensor =  0x3C,
    channel_DAC1_Output =  0x3D,
    channel_FVR_Buffer1 =  0x3E,
    channel_FVR_Buffer2 =  0x3F
} adcc_channel_t;

The Adc.c file is showing ton's of errors
guess i need go back on my mplab this 5.20 looks to be missing something.
Ok looks like I'm not alone with this problem

 

[DrG]

I had to put MCC into 5.20 - importing it from 5.15 (where I have the current version). A ballon should have popped up for a bit - do you remember having to do that step in 5.20?

 

[be80be]

No I installed all new and started a new project I just read where people was having same problem.
I just removed 5.20 and i'm now installing 5.15

 

[DrG]

I am now glad that I left 5.15 intact

 

[be80be]

Ok the problem is the printf
This just doesn't work

printf(?\n\rThe ADC Value is: %i   ?,ADCC_GetSingleConversion(POT));

I be dam lol
The problem was these ? should of been this "

printf("\n\r The ADC Value is: %i   ",ADCC_GetSingleConversion(POT));
