JAL Programming Language

JAL is a high-level language I for Microchip PIC 16x84 (16c84 16f84 and 12c508, 16f877 ) and Scenix SX (SX18 and SX28) microcontrollers

  Dear Sirs,
  
  I was editing Jal programs in v.0.3.1.17 since 2 years for PIC16F877_20. They were about clock programs. Theese programs are still working without any fault. My PC is Pentiumlll 866, Windows Me.I have added another Hard disc and it works with old hard disc together.Now hard disk 4 partitions C: D: (old hard disc) E: F: .
  
  Now, I installed the Jal program into the C: , when I load the same program to the same PIC16F877_20 and I use it for the same PC board .Sometimes ,after beginnig the clock 2 or 6 minutes later, display shows 45 85 (hours=45 and minutes=85) app. 250 msec later(this elapsed time is according the loop time, I wrote it, to scan the display ) display value is becoming to its normal value. It happens from time to time .
  
  What do you advice met to do.
  
  In advance I thank you for kind help.
  
  Regards

  James Newton of James Newton's Massmind replies: I doubt the installation of JAL on the PC has anything to do with the problem. It is more likely that the source file or hardware somehow changed without your knowing it. In any case, the only way I can see to find the source of the problem is to debug the PIC via it's ICD ability.+

• Akyles Wrote: Your program is good, but have a logic error. Try this:

  pin_a1_direction = output
  pin_b1_direction = input
  forever loop
  pin_a1 = pin_b1
  endif
  end loop

  The problem with your programs if ALWAYS let the Pin b1 ON. +

• chris at spark.ro asks:

  HI I want to make a jal program for a pic16c84 that does this: When i push a button i want a LED to lightup. I did this program but it didn't work correctly( the led lighted up without pushing the button and when i pushed the button nothing happened) .It was something like this: pin_a1_direction = output pin_b1_direction = input ( this is the button ) forever loop pin_a1 = off if pin_b1 then pin_a1 = on endif endloop --------------------------------- What did i do wrong ? Please help. I realy need to know. Thanks Chris

• shines at davlin.net asks:

  I am going to program some sx scenix chips and would like to know what would be the best and easiest way to do this? I have only a little about using p-basic. please help me find the best tools to use that has the best support. Would it be better to have someone to do the programing for me? Mitch shines@davlin.net
