hi C,
Post the section of the code that calls the Include and the header of the code of the Include file.

Hi E,
Here's an image:
Also one from Osh HELP, which Iplayed with for a while!

hi C,
First try removing the 'Space' character from the file names "slave mcu.bas" to say "slavemcu.bas"
Ensure the Include file and the code file are in the same folder.

Hi E,
Same folder, no gaps, same result.

hi,
Post both the code file and the include file.

Hi E,
I see your thumbs up, but the result is the same, the INCLUDE isn't being included.
C

 

hi C,
It is not a thumbs up, it was to show I had got your post and had downloaded it, and I was not sleeping on the job.

You have a problem on line #91 of your Code, if you try with that line remmed out it compiles.#

Hi E,
Sorry, a bit too hasty
It always compiles, but in image #101. it shows the TRIS's are all inputs, so doesn't work.
C

 

hi,
This is not what you said in your opening post.
No mention of TRIS's, you said the Included file doesn't get Included in the compiled code.

Look at the compiled .lts file, the Include is being read by the compiler, you have an error elsewhere in your code.

Hi E,
I didn't pick out TRIS'S as I don't think any of the INTERRUPT is being read, perhaps apart from the CONFIGS.

I've never understood .LTS files, but now I can see that [ oxd8 ] is the setting for TRISA, and being accepted (interesting!) so perhaps it is being read, but somehow not being implemented as the program steps through the INCLUDE.
If I put the TRIS's (for example) in the main program, then they get set in the SIM, and 'live'
C.

 

Not sure if this makes any difference, but one should always define all constants and variables before using them. Not sure how the compiler handles this in your case.
You are defining constants after you already put values into the TRIS registers:

TRISA = TRISAinit
TRISB = TRISBinit
TRISC = TRISCinit
TRISD = TRISDinit
TRISE = TRISEinit

'SET BITS ON/OFF before TRIS!
Const LATAinit = %00000000  'ON/OFF
Const LATBinit = %00000000
Const LATCinit = %00000000
Const LATDinit = %00000000
Const LATEinit = %00000000  'POSS MCLR RE3

'SET PIN IN/OUT 18F4431
Const TRISAinit = %11011000  '7=OSC, 6=OSC, 4=QEIB 3=QEIA 2=TEMP SEROUT
Const TRISBinit = %00000000
Const TRISCinit = %01000100  '6=1-slave4431_cs, 2=MOSI
Const TRISDinit = %00100000  '6=led, 7=led, 5=synch
Const TRISEinit = %00000000

I would do it this way:

'SET BITS ON/OFF before TRIS!
Const LATAinit = %00000000  'ON/OFF
Const LATBinit = %00000000
Const LATCinit = %00000000
Const LATDinit = %00000000
Const LATEinit = %00000000  'POSS MCLR RE3

'SET PIN IN/OUT 18F4431
Const TRISAinit = %11011000  '7=OSC, 6=OSC, 4=QEIB 3=QEIA 2=TEMP SEROUT
Const TRISBinit = %00000000
Const TRISCinit = %01000100  '6=1-slave4431_cs, 2=MOSI
Const TRISDinit = %00100000  '6=led, 7=led, 5=synch
Const TRISEinit = %00000000

TRISB = TRISBinit
TRISC = TRISCinit
TRISD = TRISDinit
TRISE = TRISEinit

Hi S,
No good! Same result.

There is a Simulator speed control line in the INCLUDE:
[ Define SIMULATION_WAITMS_VALUE = 1 'Comment in for SIM out for PIC ]
This also doesn't compile into the program, and I'm not sure all of the rest of the INCLUDE does either, so I assume there's a bug?
Thanks,
C.

Test it without include file and put everything in it into the main file.

Hi J,
I've been trying lots of combinations of INCLUDE and MAIN also the HELP comment in #101, and it only works with it in the main program.
C

 

Is it a problem to test without include files?

Hi J,
No problem! Perhaps my answer wasn't clear.
I tried moving each section of the INCLUDE into the main program, and anything in the INCLUDE is not used in the main program, so it all has to be in the program, and not the INCLUDE.
C

 

Hi, EDIT: Title changed to suit the situation.

I'm working on a program, that is too long, so I need to use INCLUDES.

I've used them before and up to now, have avoided them, as I prefer all of the CODE on one page, but time has come to change.

How is what goes in an INCLUDE chosen? How long etc? I guess CODE that doesn't change goes in them.
C.

Don't think about an include as something magic - it isn't. All an include does is tell the compiler or interpreter that you want to load text from another file in, at the place where the include is. That's it.

the reason you use includes is so that you can organize things. Math routines/functions in one file that you include. Graphics routines/functions in another file you include. etc. 'routines' don't return a value. 'functions' do return a value. That is the difference between routines and functions.

Hi B,
Recently, I've had it explained why INCLUDES, PROCEDURES and FUNCTIONS are used, and I've just about got used to them now, and appreciate why they're there.
However, in this case, the INCLUDE appears in the .LTS file, but is not adopted in the the program, so the sttings in it aren't used.
It may be a bug, I'll report it later, if it isn't sorted out.
Thanks, C.

 

It is the .LST file, assembler listing of the compiled Basic file with the Basic instructions as comments.
