conditional compiler directives

bob kruggel

I'm new to SXB. I keep reading about, and seeing "examples" of conditional compiler directives. However I don't find reference to them in any documentation about SXB or the IDE. It's obvious to me that I don't understand conditional compiler directives at all, even though I thought I did. Can· someone help me to end the confusion?

Read the what's new in the above stickey thread about SXB 2.0 Beta. You will find a lot of information about conditional compiler directives. If you type ifdef into Help there is some more info on conitional directives. I hope this helps.

e.g.

'{$DEFINE UsePortC}

'{$IFDEF UsePortC}
serialOut PIN RC.0
'{$ELSE}
serialOut PIN RB.0
'{$ENDIF}

If you remove the DEFINE line, then the program will compile with RB.0 as the serial out pin, otherwise RC.0 will be the pin. Just an example, of course.
