Thread: How to work with simple array ( MIKROC compiler for uC )

Hi all on this nice board .

I am a beginner on micro-controller programming , and since the type am working with uses basic C# language i though it would be a nice idea to hit the pros here on the cboard forum .

I have a hard time using this program witch consists of controlling the lightning of 4 leds with the press of a button , so when a button is pressed first led goes on and with the next press its the turn of the second one to light up .

Unfortunatly the program compiles very well but fails when i simulate the uC on ISIS , am by the way using the PIC16F84A , and using porta.b0 as input for the button , portb.b0 to portb.b3 as outputs for the 4 leds .

Here is the program script :

Code:

#define start porta.b0
#define led1  portb.b0
#define led2  portb.b1
#define led3  portb.b2
#define led4  portb.b3


int Leds[6]= {0x00,0x01,0x02,0x04,0x08};
int i=0 ;


void main() {


porta=0x00;
portb=0x00;
trisa=0xff;
trisb=0x00;
i=1;


if( start==1){


delay_ms(200);
portb= Leds[i];
i++;
delay_ms(500);
 if(i==6){
 i=0;
 }
}
}

Hi salem , i have already found the problem , it was a missing loop .

Here is the new code :

Code:

#define start porta.b0
#define led1  portb.b0
#define led2  portb.b1
#define led3  portb.b2
#define led4  portb.b3


int Leds[6]= {0x00,0x01,0x02,0x04,0x08};
int i=0 ;


void main() {


porta=0x00;
portb=0x00;
trisa=0xff;
trisb=0x00;
i=0;


while(1) {
if( start==1){
delay_ms(200);
i++;
portb= Leds[i];
delay_ms(500);
}
if(i==4){
i=0;
}
}
}

Ah , will take care of that of course .
