newbee question about variables

avionikeren

When I define variables this way I got troubles with the variables affecting each other

Variable1    byte[noparse][[/noparse]9]
variable2    byte

But the other way works fine:

Variable2    byte
variable1    byte[noparse][[/noparse]9]

What if I need more variables with many bytes?·

Nope, if you USE the variables in the right way, they don't affect each other. My guess is that you used

variable1[noparse][[/noparse]9]

somewhere. But the index of variable1 is only working inside the assigned RAM from index 0 to 8.

Thanks for answer, but I don`t thing I got it, can you please explain a little more simple?

Do you mean I can not have more than 8 bytes in a variable?

No. If you define a variable as
byte fred[noparse][[/noparse] 6 ]

Then you can use fred[noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] through fred[noparse][[/noparse] 5 ].
If you use fred[noparse][[/noparse] 6 ] it will trample over whatever comes after fred.

The definition is the number of bytes to reserve, but the usage is 0 based.
