BSp programming questions....

deno

Hello again fellow stampers...

A couple of questions please...

First is there anyway to make variables, constants, and sub routines global using the BS2p and different programming slots, or do you have to re-list everything again in each slot? The reason I ask is, I have run out of room in SLOT 1 and have to continue the program in SLOT 2. I do know about having to call the different SLOTS as needed however.

Second question is: Which takes up less programming room in eeprom. (IF, ELSEIF, ENDIF) or (SELECT, CASE, ENDSELECT) routines?

Thanks for reading..Deno

Yes, each of the program slots are in fact independent, so you must copy the declarations from one to another if you want them to match up.

IF-THEN-ELSE generally uses less EE space for tokens than SELECT-CASE, but -- depending on the program logic -- could become quite unwieldy and absolutely inelegant at high level.

Hi Deno,
