[SOLVED] having single error in lcd program

[PRABAKARDEVA]

Error [876] D:\program\exlcd.c; 4. syntax error when i compile lcd program, m having error like this,couldn't rectify the problem,anyone tell it pls...what is that error?

 

[Mr.Khiros]

Could you post your prog plz

 

[Jigar 4 Electronics]

99% you are missing to include a header file into the directory where your *.c file exist.
or better will be to post your code here.
check the folder where you've the project and check whether it has all the header files in it which had been included in program???

this is my program.....

 

[Jigar 4 Electronics]

have you check about the inclusion of header files in your project directory?
and if your header files contain any other header files then include them also into your project directory.
It seems that some of your declarations are in header files so I can't comment anything about the code without examine the header files.
and the possibility of error is quite less as you're getting error[876]. Better to make a new project and include everything one by one in it.
step by step execution may locate the error location

 

[PRABAKARDEVA]

i had written the entire code source file itself.....i didnt write any separate header files....so there is no need to include header files.....

 

[errakeshpillai]

I guess maybe the __CONFIG and __delay might be the calls to assembly functions, which might be creating a problem. I might be wrong. Do update me.

 

[PRABAKARDEVA]

__config and __delay functions are predefined functions in hi tech compiler ofmplab ide for pic controller.u can see that in manual guide of hi tech compiler for users.

 

[Jigar 4 Electronics]

Well try this one also: (I am not sure whether it has considered as a error by hi tech compiler or not but give it a try) I haven't use hitech, but this is the basic rule so it may affect here!?

- There are 2 basic forms of include directory :
1) angle brackets: insstructs the preprocessors to search for the
included file using a predefined location. Normally used for
system level header which are common do different projects &
source file.
2) double quote mark: It should be store in a project directory it
self.

So just try using :
#include "pic.h"
#include "htc.h"

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

Try this. See if this Compiles. I think the lcd code is wrong. The initialization is incorrect.

If it still gives error then replace these

#define RS RE1

with these

[PRABAKARDEVA]

yeah.. i tried again it gives the same error line..

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

Which PIC are you using?

There is a missing & in CONFIG between PWRTDIS and BORDIS

---

Code C - [expand]
1
__CONFIG(HS & WDTDIS & LVPDIS & UNPROTECT & PWRTDIS BORDIS);

---

 

[PRABAKARDEVA]

the compiler doesn't consider the portebits.re1.it gives the error for this configuration.m using pic 16f877a.

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

---

Code C - [expand]
1
PORTEbits.RE1

---

Compiles fine for me. Which version of Compiler are you using?

The CONFIG statement is wrong.

This code compiles fine for PIC16F877A.

whatever you had said...i changed all those things in my code..it gives a lot of errors which are shown below.



arning [359] D:\program\podd.c; 26.20 illegal conversion between pointer types
pointer to const unsigned char -> pointer to unsigned char

i dont know the version for the compiler..but mplab ide 8.56.

 

[jayanth.devarayanadurga]

Problem is with your Compiler. The code I posted compiles fine for me.

 

[PRABAKARDEVA]

which version r u using?mplab or mplabx?

thank u very much jayanth....

 

[ananthashayanams]

Hi Prabakardeva

I tried your code and there is an issue with __CONFIG arguments i.e. the fuses which you want to use.
Please change it something like this

__CONFIG(WDTE_OFF & PWRTE_ON & BOREN_ON & LVP_OFF & CPD_OFF & CP_OFF & CPD_OFF & DEBUG_OFF);

else you can use like this

__CONFIG(0x3F3A)

This can be found in the .inc file for your device which is 16F877A, you can see this in the HiTech install directory

I could compile after changing these.

I believe the single error could be because of you not adding your .c file in the MPLAB env in the source file list. It normally returns Error[with some number] no file arguments.

 

[bigdogguru]

This can be found in the .inc file for your device which is 16F877A, you can see this in the HiTech install directory

Actually, a better option when coding in C is to add the device specific header file to your project window, p16f877a.h or pic16f877a.h, which contains all available Configuration Register Flags and typically descriptions of each flag.

The device specific header file also contains available identifiers for registers, bits, etc for the specific device.

I typically add the device specific header file to my projects and reference it while coding.

Also including the following header in neither required nor recommended as the htc.h header file automatically includes all required header files specific to the device:

#include<pic.h>

Therefore only the following is required for device specific features:

#include<htc.h>
