Running a set of frequencies

datacps

I want to save some code space and I looked at the other threads to see if anyone can give me an idea of how to run a set of frequencies with out using this piece af code for every frequency I want to run.
I am a newbie so I don't know how to store a set of data and then run it.
freqwanted = 1700
··· LCDChar ClearScreen
··· LCDStr "· Freq OUT = "
··· LCDWord freqWanted
··· SetFreq freqWanted
pause 80000

Instead can freqWanted be something like
freqwanted = 1700, 1950,2200,1890, ect
··· LCDChar ClearScreen
··· LCDStr "· Freq OUT = "
··· LCDWord freqWanted
··· SetFreq freqWanted Run 3min@
I would like to run them 3 minutes each. I can probably write the code for minutes but I don't know how to write it to read the stored set. I don't want to write 5 lines of code for each frequency. I am new so please forgive my ignorance.. Also The SX Chip is incredible. I will use it from now on with all my projects. Parrallax support makes it possible for newbies like me to create their designs.. Thanks to everyone that has helped me..

You should look at the DATA and READ statements. List your frequencies in a table like this.

FreqData:
WDATA 1700, 1950,2200,1890,… etc

Then set up a FOR… NEXT loop and use a READ statement to assign the next value from your data table to your "freqwanted" variable.

I think that will get you started in the right direction.

Thanks Sparks. I have been working on it all day I have different values on freqout. I think I have something stored in a different part of the program and it is reading that data. I will try a few more things but I can get it to count down the list at the delay I want. I got to get it to freq out the correct freq and I am good. Thanks for you help. Also are the data values being read in dec. value when I write it like

Sometimes it starts on 1200 then the next value is 33567 or something like that.
DO
high lcd
freqwanted = freqdata
FOR setrun = 10 TO 0 step - 1 ' demo values (last invalid)
read freqdata,freqwanted
pause 50

LCDChar ClearScreen
pause 50
LCDStr "AutoRun= "
LCDWord freqWanted
SetFreq freqWanted
pause 5000 ' update the display
if button2 = pressed then goto start ' pause 1/2 second
NEXT
loop

freqdata:
wdata 1200
wdata 2000
wdata 4300

I'm not sure why you're doing "freqWanted = freqData" before the loop ???

Right now your code "READ freqData, freqWanted" will always read the first value in the data set.
Change "FOR setRun = 10 TO 0 STEP -1" to "FOR setRun = 0 TO 20 STEP 2" and change "READ freqData, freqWanted" to "READ freqData + setRun, freqWanted". That should read through the data values (I assume you have 11 data values ?).

Thanks for your Help Bean.. The last post was my final attempt before I posted. I had it the way the example on SX was but I did not realize that I had to multiply by two for WDATA. SO when a word value is used in WDATA it has to be multiplied by 2 in the steps and byte values.. ? It runs perfectly now . Thanks to you and Sparks..

DO
freqwanted = freqdata
FOR setRun = 0 TO 20 STEP 2
READ freqData + setRun, freqWanted
LCDChar ClearScreen
pause 50
LCDStr "AutoRun= " ' update the display
LCDWord freqWanted
SetFreq freqWanted

Pause 5000 'This pause set the on time for 5 sec
'the setrun freq in seconds
NEXT
