Hi, im getting this error
Quote:
*** Error 128 A #DEVICE required before this line
Iknow i have dealt with this in the past but just freakin cant remember.

The device is stated in my main.c
Code:

#device PIC16F877A *=16

#include <16f877A.h>
#include <hardware.h>
#include <global.h>
#include <comms.h>
//#include <comms.c>
#include <Test_Pin.c>
#include <Xout.c>
#include <Yout.c>
#include <Zout.c>
#include <Xbuff.c>
#include <Ybuff.c>
#include <Zbuff.c>


#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT, NOWRT, NOCPD, NOLVP, NOBROWNOUT
 // Configure Uart
 
#use delay(clock=OSC_FREQ,RESTART_WDT)
#use rs232(baud=BAUD_RATE,UART1,parity=N,bits=8,RESTART_WDT,STREAM=streamed)
//#use rs232(baud=BAUD_RATE,xmit=TX,rcv=RX,parity=N,bits=8,RESTART_WDT,STREAM=streamed)
 
// Configure delay
//#use delay (clock=OSC_FREQ, RESTART_WDT)
 
#use fast_io(A)
#use fast_io(B)
#use fast_io(C)
#use fast_io(D)
#use fast_io(E)

#inline
void nop()
{
#asm
  NOP
#endasm
}


Some help please Very Happy

Part of the problem are the CCS error descriptions.
I don't know your compiler version, in my compiler I get another error message.

Code:
#device PIC16F877 *=16
The PIC type number is already in the include file, now you are specifying it twice which confuses the compiler.
Change to:
Code:
#device *=16
And make sure to place this line after the 16F877A.h include.

My Version is 4.057

I removed the device on the top of my main.c

Code:

#include <16f877A.h>
#include <hardware.h>
#include <global.h>
//#include <comms.h>
//#include <comms.c>
#include <Test_Pin.c>
#include <Xout.c>
#include <Yout.c>
#include <Zout.c>
#include <Xbuff.c>
#include <Ybuff.c>
#include <Zbuff.c>


#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT, NOWRT, NOCPD, NOLVP, NOBROWNOUT
 // Configure Uart
 
#use delay(clock=OSC_FREQ,RESTART_WDT)
#use rs232(baud=BAUD_RATE,UART1,parity=N,bits=8,RESTART_WDT,STREAM=streamed)
//#use rs232(baud=BAUD_RATE,xmit=TX,rcv=RX,parity=N,bits=8,RESTART_WDT,STREAM=streamed)
 
// Configure delay
//#use delay (clock=OSC_FREQ, RESTART_WDT)
 
#use fast_io(A)
#use fast_io(B)
#use fast_io(C)
#use fast_io(D)
#use fast_io(E)

#inline
void nop()
{
#asm
  NOP
#endasm
}


And my header for pic includes

Code:
//////// Standard Header file for the PIC16F877A device ////////////////
#device PIC16F877A=*16 ADC=10 ICD=true
#nolist
//////// Program memory: 8192x14  Data RAM: 367  Stack: 8
//////// I/O: 33   Analog Pins: 8
//////// Data EEPROM: 256
//////// C Scratch area: 77   ID Location: 2000
//////// Fuses: LP,XT,HS,RC,NOWDT,WDT,NOPUT,PUT,PROTECT,DEBUG,NODEBUG
//////// Fuses: NOPROTECT,NOBROWNOUT,BROWNOUT,LVP,NOLVP,CPD,NOCPD,WRT_50%
//////// Fuses: NOWRT,WRT_25%,WRT_5%
////////
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I/O
// Discrete I/O Functions: SET_TRIS_x(), OUTPUT_x(), INPUT_x(),

//                         OUTPUT_LOW(), OUTPUT_HIGH(),
//                         OUTPUT_FLOAT(), OUTPUT_BIT()
// Constants used to identify pins in the above are:


But i am still getting the error. It says device need before this line.
But the line its refering to is the first line of my test_pin.c

Code:
void Measure_Test()
{
//setup_adc_ports(AN0);  Already set up in init
//setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8);
#use delay(clock=OSC_FREQ)
set_adc_channel(0);
delay_us(20);

while(1)
  {
   adc_value = read_adc();
   Test = (float)(adc_value * 5)/1024.0;   
   delay_ms(100);
  }
}

Some remarks:
1) If you can't find the source of a problem than try to locate the cause by making the program smaller and smaller until you have found the single line of code that is causing the problem. During this process you will often find the solution yourself and otherwise it is much easier to post here on the forum (we don't like studying large programs so you get little response).

2)
Code:
#use delay(clock=OSC_FREQ,RESTART_WDT)
This line appears at least 3 times in your program. Don't do this. Only place it once at the very start of your code.

3) NEVER change the header files supplied with the compiler. There is no need to do this and it introduces the big risk that with the next compiler release CCS changes something and your code stops to work. Problems like this are very difficult to find.
Besides all the above, you introduced a syntax error; 'PIC16F877A=*16' should have been 'PIC16F877A *=16'.
Restore the header file to it's original state and change your main.c to:
Code:
#include <16f877A.h>
#device *=16 ADC=10 ICD=true


4) Note that the #use fast_io command only works for all the code after this statement. All the C-files you have included before this statement will use the slower default_io mode.

5) The cause of your compiler complaining is most likely the sequence of instructions in your main.c. Best is to always start with the following sequence:
a) Device include file
b) Fuses settings
c) #delay and #device settings.
d) Optional other #use statements (for RS232, fast_io, etc)
e) other include files
f ) main program code

I get this error

The Test_pin include is

Code:
void Measure_Test()
{

set_adc_channel(0);
delay_us(20);

while(1)
  {
   adc_value = read_adc(ADC_START_AND_READ);
   Test = (float)(adc_value * 5)/1024.0;
   Test = Test * 4.032258065l;
   Test = Test / 1.004; 
   delay_ms(100);

  }
}


I am sorry for the amount of stuff posted but something as simple as this can't get the best of me, I mean there is ppl out there with big problems.

Any suggestions, it's like the compiler wants to compile the include file as a main file ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Are you using MPLAB ? If so, see these links:

setup_counters(WDT,WDT_36MS);

The first parameter of 'WDT' is not listed in the CCS manual or the
16F877A.H file as a valid parameter for that function.

It is not build all of the project of the menu.
It right-clicks in the source in which the project of view has main
and it compiles.
