Problem with Editor

mwlaursen

Do
DEBUG "Enter run time as a ",CR
DEBUG "number of pulses: "
DEBUGIN DEC pulses


DEBUG "enter Position as a",CR,
"PULSOOUT Duration: "
DEBUGIN DEC duration



I am getting this error when I try to send the program to the board.

The continuation after the CR, gets an error. And it does not understand DEBUGIN either?

New to this homework board.

Thanks

I can't find anything wrong with your code other than the DO is missing a LOOP. Post all you code.

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}

duration  VAR   Word
pulses    VAR   Word

DO
  DEBUG "Enter run time as a " ,CR
  DEBUG "number of pulses:"
  DEBUGIN DEC pulses


  DEBUG "enter Position as a", CR,
  "PULSOOUT Duration: "
  DEBUGIN DEC duration
LOOP

Which version on the editor are you running? Get the latest from the website. It compiles OK on my computer.

Mark,

Your picture doesn't show up for me and you did not say what the error was so I am going to go based on the code you posted. There are several issues with the code you posted that will return errors:

• No Stamp Directive
• No Syntax Directive, default is 2.0 which does not support some of the keywords you used. This will generate errors.
• No LOOP for your DO
• No variable declarations for your variables (pulses and duration)

Once these fixes are made the code compiles just fine. Of course I had to guess at the variable sizes, but it is an example. I hope this helps.

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
pulses    VAR Word
duration  VAR Word
DO
DEBUG "Enter run time as a ",CR
DEBUG "number of pulses: "
DEBUGIN DEC pulses

DEBUG "enter Position as a",CR,
"PULSOOUT Duration: "
DEBUGIN DEC duration
LOOP

Ok, thanks for the replies, here the missing info.

DEBUG "Enter run time as a ",CR,
DEBUG "number of pulses: "
DEBUGIN DEC pulses


DEBUG "enter Position as a",CR,
"PULSOOUT Duration: "
DEBUGIN DEC duration

The error is : Expected a constant, variable, unary operator. That is for the comma after the CR.

DEBUG "Enter run time as a ",CR
DEBUG "number of pulses: "
DEBUGIN DEC pulses


DEBUG "enter Position as a",CR
"PULSOOUT Duration: "
DEBUGIN DEC duration

Error Expected ':' or end-of-line for the DEBUGIN, and it high lights the DEC.

My Version of the editor is 2.5.2

Sorry I did not post the whole program:

'{$stamp BS2}
'{PBASIC 2.5]


counter VAR Word
pulses VAR Word
duration VAR Word


PAUSE 1000
DEBUG "Servo Run Time: ",CR
DEBUG "44 pulses in 1 second",CR
DEBUG "Servo Position:",CR
DEBUG " 350 <=PULSOUT Duratin <=1150",CR,CR


Do
DEBUG "Enter run time as a ",CR
DEBUG "number of pulses: "
DEBUGIN DEC pulses


DEBUG "enter Position as a",CR
"PULSOOUT Duration: "
DEBUGIN DEC duration


duration = duration MIN 350 MAX 1150


DEBUG "Servo is running...",CR


FOR counter = 1 TO pulses
PULSOUT 14,duration
PAUSE 20
NEXT


DEBUG "done",CR,CR,
PAUSE 1000


loop

Wrong formatting on the $PBASIC tag
No "debug" in front of one of your statements
I don't think the problem is with the editor.

It all depends on your definition of "editor".

Thanks, it was the '{$PBASIC 2.5}.

I need to get my eye fix so I see better.

Thanks again!!!
