Problem with constant data table in ROM

[Marco C.]

Hello everybody,

Just a simple question on a little piece of code:

[PCM programmer]

The most likely cause of your problem is:

You have the Watchdog Timer enabled in your #fuses statement,
but you're never re-starting it. So it times out and resets the PIC,
which causes the message to be displayed over and over again.

Your fuses statement might look like this:
#fuses XT, NOPROTECT, WDT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP

Change it to be this:
#fuses XT, NOPROTECT, NOWDT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP

-----------------------------------------------------
An additional note:
You are letting your program fall off the end of main().
The compiler puts a hidden Sleep statement there.
If you're using a hardware USART, the Sleep instruction will
put the PIC to sleep before the last two characters in your
text string are transmitted. The last 2 chars will be not be displayed.

Fix this by putting a while(1) statement at the very end of main():

main()
{
build(Genome);

while(1); // Add this line
}
------------------------------------------------
Some tips on asking for help on this board:

When you post a program, you should always post all
of the CCS directives, such as the #fuses statement,
the #use delay statement, etc. It helps us to solve
your problem for you. If you don't post it, we have
to do "mind reading". We have to do that a lot on
this board. Also, your post subject could be better.
More like: "My program displays same message over and over".
Or: "My program constantly re-starts"
