addition not working with read_eeprom
PostPosted: Mon Dec 27, 2010 4:30 pm     Reply with quote

Hello,

In the following code the incrementation of wdt_counter does not work.
The value stay at 0.
Does that have something to do with the read_eeprom instruction ?
Any suggestion ?

Thanks !!

Pic 18f2525 and compiler 4.065

Code:
 if (temp == WDT_TIMEOUT)
   { 
    printf("\r\nwatchdog timeout!\r\n");
    write_eeprom(816,87);  // store 'w'
    wdt_counter = read_eeprom (817) + 1;
    write_eeprom(817,wdt_counter);
   }

There's no way for us to test this code fragment. You don't initialize
eeprom address 817. We don't know its initial value.

Also, your code doesn't read address 817 and display it. So how do you
know what the initial state is ? What if the initial state is 0xFF ?
(0xFF = erased eeprom, possibly done by the ICD programmer).
If you add 1 to 0xFF, then you get 0x00.
