Post by thread:[PIC]: Instructions

It is highly unlikely that the PIC can't handle consecutive instructions to the same register. I'd look for some other problem! Bob Ammerman RAm Systems (high performance, high function, low-level software) {Original Message removed}

I just tried it again and this time the original code block works. I loaded a whole heap of BSF BCF's that work on the FSR register into ROMzap and the code works as expected every time. It's got me beat why the code failed initially. Both old and the new today are identical.

Just call it one of those 'phase-of-the-moon' things, I guess :-) Bob Ammerman RAm Systems (high performance, high function, low-level software) {Original Message removed}

Hello I was having a look at a program that came with my PICDEM 2 PLUS board and I foud this kind of instruction I never used before or seen used: "movlw .5" , what does the " .5 " stand for ? thanks Luis -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Decimal, ie movlw 5 (not 0.5, just 5) Have a look in MPLAB's help files Help/Microchip Language Tools Help/MPASM Assembler Help/ Radix Types Supported -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

That's an obsolete notation for decimal. The assembler still supports it - for now. If you want to explicitly indicate decimal radix, use the D'5' syntax. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

thanks Olin because I never seen it before I thought that it was a recent notation, but now I will not use it regards Luis {Original Message removed}
