Taking time to search would probably help...

Just as the error message is telling you, the code for your main() won't fit in any of the available memory segments: it's too big and/or too compicated.

The 16 series PICs have segmented, or banked program memory. The CCS compiler requires that each routine, including your main code, fits inside a memory segment. In you case, it doesn't.

So, what can you do? You have to make the compiler's job easier. It can more easily fit lots of small routines into the segents than fewer larger routines. Its also generally good programming practice to divide up code into smaller routines where possible.

How do you do that? You look at your main() and work out which bits of code, especially repeated code, can reasonably be made into separate routines that you can call from main. You can also avoid inlining routines if you already do. You can avoid unnecessary float calculations, which generate a lot of code and run slowly as well.

18s and later series PICs have linear addressing, i.e. are not segmented/banked, which makes fitting large chunks of code in much easier.

I had that too, just have to move some of the lines in the main into functions.
