Code: Select all

void delay(void) {

//inside-- is slower
//inside++ is faster
    for (inside = 0; inside > scanPin; inside++) {
         for (outside = 0; outside < temp; outside++) {
        // }
   //      for (inside = 0; inside < 5000; inside--) {
    }
}
}

Rolling your own time delays can be tricky.
Please remind me which compiler you are using.

[Dimebag]

ok

[ric]

XC8 has an accurate time delay function built in. Look in the user guide for
__delay_ms()

[Dimebag]

I am looking at devices within PIC24 and PIC32 to use. I just need help with C in the mean while.

[Dimebag]

More interested in PIC24 currently. I will start on PIC32. Currently my local electronic store does not have PIC24

In the meantime 18F452 is selected as target device. Funny they have ATmega/12F-C/16F/18F/18LF

Thanks ric, I will look at using the function delay_ms().
I am wondering if using "array[]" is the best way for expanding my code, it is working at bare minimum. An array can only have values stored inside the "array[]" to be used after its complied. I am not sure if you can change the 'array[]' values after its complied.

[ric]

Yes, you can change array values after compilation, so long as you haven't specifically told the compiler it is a constant.

Dimebag,

What tools are you using? You shouldn't see ATmega if you are using XC8.

Also do you have a programmer? If so, which one?

You need to get back to just writing a program that blinks an LED. You are getting sidetracked onto other subjects.
