any idea why this happens?

Line 41(14,15): Undefined identifier -- write_eeprom

thanks

difficult to say without more info...

This can happen if a previous identifier is wrong,
or if there is a line without a ";" at the end,
or if there is a #ifdefine without its #endif somewhere in the code.

If it is a 16 bit chip it might happen that the register you are passing to the write_eeprom(16Bit address register, 16 bit value word); is not 16 bit

thnx, the thing is that it works with 18f4520 so I am confused a bit now.

both are 8 bit by the way.

this is a line:

if (setValue < averageTempRead_int) {
write_eeprom (0x0A, 0x50);
delay_custom_ms(15);
fprintf(eth,"max internal temperature reached!...\n");
}

any one knows if I need to do any special fuses for it to work or is is a bug in compiler?

I have went to ccs wizard to do initial setup just to check if my manual is any good but no difference...

thank you

Look at the data sheet. How much EEPROM does the 18F45J11 have? Maybe that could be the problem?

thnx, I was actually thinking about something like that but the problem is that I need to do what Apple is doing with their laptops and iphone/ipod/ipad - they have humidity sensor in the device and when it gets too wet they mark it in the eeprom. Then when you take it for a service you may find out that they will say that there is no warranty because of too high humidity level. (water damage). I need to do this thing but with too high temperature. So I need hard memory. That is ok I will get different chip...I have just overlooked rom size...

Program memory is ok but I better do not touch it for other reasons.

thank you
