| Why does my code not compile? |

Hi, i wrote this code and I don't know what can I do to compile it.
| Code: |
#include <16f628.h>
#fuses xt,nowdt,put,noprotect
// xt=crystal; nowdt=no watchdog timer
// put=powerup timer; noprotect=memory protection off
#use delay(clock=12000000)
#byte TRISA = 0x85
#byte TRISB = 0x86
#byte PORTA = 0x05
#byte PORTB = 0x06
byte const A[] = {
0x1F,
0x24,
0x24,
0x24,
0x1F
};
byte const R[] = {
0x3F,
0x28,
0x2C,
0x2A,
0x29
};
letra(char varlet) {
BYTE i;
for(i=0; i<=5; ++i) {
set_tris_b(0x00);
PORTB = varlet[i];
}
}
void main(void) {
BYTE i;
/////////////MAIN LOOP
while (1) {
for (i = 0; i<=5; i++){
PORTB=A[i];
}
delay_us(20);
}
}
|
Compiler outputs:
| Code: |
Executing: "C:\Program Files (x86)\PICC\Ccsc.exe" +FM "main.c" +DF +LN +T +A +M +Z +Y=9 +EA
*** Error 66 "C:\Users\Rafa\Documents\MPLAB\POV\main.c" Line 30(20,21): Previous identifier must be a pointer

Halting build on first failure as requested.

Thanks. |

First some faults that won't stop it compiling.
You have XT selected as the oscillator fuse, but then 12MHz as the operating frequency. What is the maximum for XT?.....
Then in your 'main', you output to PORTB, without setting the TRIS, so nothing will happen...
The reason for the failure though, is 'varlet'. You declare that varlet is a single character, then try to use it in the 'letra' routine, as a pointer/array. Won't work, so the compiler complains.

Another common mistake: | Code: | for (i = 0; i<=5; i++){
PORTB=A[i]; |
How many items are in A[]?
And how many times is this loop going to executed? |

Thanks. It's working now, leds are "blinking"!
The only thing left is.. how can I select wich array is going to be put in PORTB? In the "letra" routine I mean.
@ckielstra: Thanks for pointing this out.
Btw, my code is now:
| Code: | #include <16f628.h>
#fuses HS,nowdt,put,noprotect
// xt=crystal; nowdt=no watchdog timer
// put=powerup timer; noprotect=memory protection off
#use delay(clock=12000000)
#byte TRISA = 0x85
#byte TRISB = 0x86
#byte PORTA = 0x05
#byte PORTB = 0x06
byte const A[] = {
0x1F,
0x24,
0x24,
0x24,
0x1F
};
byte const R[] = {
0x3F,
0x28,
0x2C,
0x2A,
0x29
};
byte const F[] = {
0b11111,
0b11100,
0b10100,
0b10100,
0b10100
};
/*letra(char varlet) {
BYTE i;
for(i=0; i<=5; ++i) {
set_tris_b(0x00);
PORTB = varlet[i];
}
}*/
void main(void) {
BYTE i;
/////////////MAIN LOOP
while (1) {
set_tris_b(0x00);
for (i = 0; i<=4; i++){
PORTB=R[i];
}
delay_us(20);
for (i = 0; i<=4; i++){
PORTB=A[i];
}
delay_us(20);
for (i = 0; i<=4; i++){
PORTB=F[i];
}
delay_us(20);
for (i = 0; i<=4; i++){
PORTB=A[i];
}
delay_us(20);
}
}
|
The only thing left to do is to make the letra routine work, and reading a IR sensor to receive instructions from it. |

Get rid of the 'const' declarations on your arrays.
Declare 'letra' as:
| Code: |
void letra(char * varlet) {
BYTE i;
for(i=0; i<5; ++i) {
set_tris_b(0x00);
PORTB = varlet[i];
}
}
|
Note the '*' this now says that 'varlet' is a _pointer_ to a character.
Then call with:
| Code: |
letra(A);
letra(F);
letra(R);
|
as required
Now the reason for getting rid of the 'const', is that in the PIC, program memory, and RAM, are two different memory spaces. It is very hard because of this to construct 'pointers' to ROM. The compiler has got ways of doing this now, but the overheads involved, are more than are worthwhile for three 5 element arrays. Much simpler to just declare them as arrays in normal memory...

It seems like its working now.
There is a little hardware problem... it only works if i touch the oscillator pin. I'm using a 4MHz (XT mode) crystal with 22pF caps, but it does the same with 12MHz (HS Mode) with 27pF, and 16MHz (HS) with 27pF caps.
Any idea?
Thanks.
EDIT: And it does not work with IntRC oscillator. |

1. Add the NOLVP fuse.
2. Make sure you have a pull-up resistor on your MCLR pin.
Use 10K if your programmer is the Microchip ICD2, etc.
Use 47K if you are using the CCS ICD-U40, etc. |

Done two thing. Same result, the Pull-up is 10K. |

Try to make a very simple program work. The program below will blink
an LED on Pin B0. This assumes your PIC is running at +5 volts.
It assumes you have a series resistor (approx. 470 ohms) going to from
pin B0 to the Anode of the LED, and the Cathode of the LED is connected
to ground.
| Code: |
#include <16F628.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO, NOWDT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock = 4000000)
//=======================
void main()
{
while(1)
{
output_high(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(500);
output_low(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(500);
}
} |

I've resolved it. Too short delays and too low POV speed to see the letters.
Thanks for the help, and sorry  |
