Reset BS2SX

Manuel

Hello:
Is it possible to me to reset my BS2sx by connecting a pin to the reset and using the·low command?
Or is there a better way to do that with code?

If you want to do that, you can. That will do a *hard* reset: all I/Os will be cleared to inputs and all variables to zero.

Does that mean that i have to define all my outputs before i can use them as outputs?

You should alias pins for readabilty, but most PBASIC commands take care of setting IO pin direction. For example:

· HIGH 0

makes pin 0 and output and sets it to 1. In your case with reset, you might do this:

· Reset··· PIN··· 0

The pin will be initialized (after power-up or hard reset) as an input, so it can be left alone.· Then, if you have some emergency that causes you to want to do a hard reset, do this:

Emergency_Reset:
· LOW Reset
· END

You don't need to do anything else -- and be sure you don't do anything with the pin called Reset except use it as I've shown you above.

Barring the most crazy scenarios I can come up with, you probably don't need to do an actual hardware reset.· Just put a label at the top of your program (above where you initialize your variables) and jump to that to "reset".

Manuel

I tried to reset my variables without turn off, but when it gets to the section where variables are changed, they wont change

Then you're doing something wrong. You may want to post your code for more detailed assistance.

Can you explain that in a little more detail?· I've never heard of anything like that happening...

Ok, here is the code, there are some variables im not using and i will delete when everything is done:

lol there·are some things in spanish and everything to display in the lcds was in spanish because the users of my meter counter only speak spanish.

Luckily spanish and french are close enough relatives that I can figure out the gist of what it says.· I still don't understand your problem, however.· It looks to me like it should zero all your variables and then start over, right after what I assume is the LCD startup routine.· It should work fine, unless I'm missing something big.· What exactly are you experiencing when it goes wrong?

Manuel

When it gets to the reset routine i go again to the meter selecting stage and then to the[noparse]:([/noparse]from Do to the end)
The problem is that it wont display me in the lcd anymore that the variable increases. The variable stays stuck at 0.

Ok, nothing jumps out at me as to why that would happen.· What I recommend is that right after your block of VAR statements where you declare your variables, set them all to zero (or whatever default value they're supposed to have).· Then instead of jumping to START when you do your reset, jump to the very first line of the program (right after your PBASIC and STAMP directives).· That should imitate a hardware reset as closely as possible.· To make it an even more accurate imitation, you can set the pins to inputs first...

Manuel

Thx, i will do that and see what happens.(Could my BS exlode? omg!)
LOL

You know, if that doesn't work, you should probably just go with your initial thought of a hardware reset - at least that's guaranteed to work!· I was just trying to save you an I/O line.

PS (and to the powers that be) - there should really be some kind of chat room for this back-and-forth posting.

Manuel

yes, that would come handy

lol, it worked. set vvariables to 0 before setting them to variables and now it works, thx a lot.

After giving this scenario a little thought, it DOES make sense. Remember that creating and using variables is something that is handled by the compiler and not something that "tokenizes" and downloads to the Stamp. Only the code that actually DOES something is downloaded. The VAR declarations just signal to the compiler that space needs to be allocated, which it does at the time of the COMPILE. So, when you jump tot he beginning of the program, you are really juming to the first "active" instruction (token), hence, the variables will not automatically be cleared out.

HTH.
