A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.
Hai to all,
The code below for an lcd with pic24fj64ga002 and mplab c30 compiler gives me an error as
pic24lcd.c: In function 'cmd':
pic24lcd.c:28: error: syntax error before numeric constant
pic24lcd.c:32: error: syntax error before numeric constant
pic24lcd.c: In function 'data':
pic24lcd.c:41: error: syntax error before numeric constant
pic24lcd.c:45: error: syntax error before numeric constant
pic24lcd.c: At top level:
pic24lcd.c:50: warning: return type of 'main' is not 'int'
pic24lcd.c:94:2: warning: no newline at end of file
I could not understand where and why the syntax error occurs, can you please help me
out.....
And also am I doing it in the right way???
Code:
#include
#define RS PORTAbits.0
#define RwW PORTAbits.1
#define EN PORTAbits.2
unsigned char ar[]={"fabmax"},k=0;
unsigned long int i,j,a;
/*__________________________________________
//FUNCTION PROTOTYPE
//_____________________________________________*/
void delay(void);
void data(void);
/*____________________________________________
// SEND DELAY
// ______________________________________________*/
//
void delay(void)
{
for(i=0;i<=50;i++)
for(j=1;j>0;j--);
}
///*______________________________________________
//SEND DATA
//________________________________________________*/
void cmd(void)
{
RS=k;
RwW=0;
EN=1;
delay();
EN=0;
delay();
}
///* ______________________________________________
//DATA SEND
//_________________________________________________*/
void data(void)
{
RS=1;
RwW=0;
EN=1;
delay();
EN=0;
delay();
}
void main()
{
//________________________________________________
//port initialize section
//________________________________________________
LATB = 0x0;
LATA=0X0;
TRISB = 0xff00; // Configure LCD pins as output
TRISA =0XFFF0;
/* TRISB=0X00;
TRISC=0X00;
PORTD=0X00;
PORTC=0X00;
PORTD=0X00;
TRISD=0X00;*/
//_________________________________________________
// initialize section
//_________________________________________________
PORTB=0x38; //2lines 5X7
cmd();
//delay();
PORTB=0x0E;//display on cursor not blink
cmd();
// delay();
PORTB=0X0001;//clear display
cmd();
// delay();
PORTB=0X0006;//increment shift cursor right
// delay();
PORTB=0X0080;// cursor start 1st line
cmd();
// delay();
//cmd();
//__________________________________________________
for(a=0;a<6;a++)
{
PORTB=ar[a];
data();
delay();
}
while(1);
}
Thanks,
