Expression must evaluate to a constant
PostPosted: Thu Jun 01, 2006 1:53 am     Reply with quote

Hello,

this is my keypad matrix scanning code :

in NS.h

Code:
// Definiëer keyboard matrix: 9R x 8K
//Rijen
#define R1 PIN_C0
#define R2 PIN_C1
#define R3 PIN_B1
#define R4 PIN_B2
#define R5 PIN_B3
#define R6 PIN_B4
#define R7 PIN_B5
#define R8 PIN_B6
#define R9 PIN_B7
//Kolommen
#define K1 PIN_D0
#define K2 PIN_D1
#define K3 PIN_D2
#define K4 PIN_D3
#define K5 PIN_D4
#define K6 PIN_D5
#define K7 PIN_D6
#define K8 PIN_D7


in main loop:

Code:
//******************************* READ MATRIX ********************************//
void Read_Matrix ()
{
   ALLES_LOS = TRUE;
   PRESSED = FALSE;
   
   Output_low (R1);
   delay_us (100);
   temp = input_d ();       // Lees de waarde van de poort
   Output_float (R1);
   if ( (buffer [0] & temp) != buffer [0] )   // er is gedrukt
      PRESSED = TRUE;
   buffer [0] = buffer [0] & temp;   // Onthoud dat er ingedrukt is
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   
// RIJ 2
   Output_low (R2);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R2);
   if ((buffer[1] & temp) != buffer[1])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[1] = buffer [1] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   
// RIJ 3
   Output_low(R3);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R3);
   if ((buffer[2] & temp) != buffer[2])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[2] = buffer [2] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   // RIJ 4
   Output_low(R4);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R4);
   if ((buffer[3] & temp) != buffer[3])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[3] = buffer [3] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   // RIJ 5
   Output_low(R5);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R5);
   if ((buffer[4] & temp) != buffer[4])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[4] = buffer [4] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   // RIJ 6
   Output_low(R6);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R6);
   if ((buffer[5] & temp) != buffer[5])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[5] = buffer [5] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   // RIJ 7
   Output_low(R7);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R7);
   if ((buffer[6] & temp) != buffer[6])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[6] = buffer [6] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   // RIJ 8
   Output_low(R8);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R8);
   if ((buffer[7] & temp) != buffer[7])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[7] = buffer [7] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
      Alles_los = FALSE;
   // RIJ 9
   Output_low(R9);
   delay_us(100);
   temp = input_d();
   Output_float(R9);
   if ((buffer[8] & temp) != buffer[8])
      Pressed = TRUE;
   buffer[8] = buffer [8] & temp;
   if (temp != 255)
       Alles_los = FALSE;
}


Now this works fine, but you can see that there is many the same code used. So I want to that shorter. This is my idea:

Global const array:
Code:
const char Scan [9] = { PIN_C0, PIN_C1, PIN_B1, PIN_B2, PIN_B3, PIN_B4, PIN_B5,
PIN_B6, PIN_B7 };


scanning routine:
Code:
void Read_Matrix ()
{
   int8 j;
   ALLES_LOS = TRUE;
   PRESSED = FALSE;
   // RIJ per RIJ inscannen
   for ( j = 0 ; j < 9 ; j++ )
   {
      output_low (Scan [j]);
      delay_us (75);
      Temp = input_d ();
      output_float (Scan [j]);
      if ( ( Buffer [j] & Temp ) != Buffer [j] )   // er is gedrukt
         PRESSED = TRUE;
      Buffer [j] = Buffer [j] & Temp;
      if (temp != 255)
         ALLES_LOS = FALSE;
   }
}


Now my compîler gives error Expression must evaluate to a constant; I was hoping you guys could give hints on this?

The output_low() function only accepts constants, not variables.

For a replacement function see:

thanks,

that was exactly what I needed; thanks for sharing:

Code:
void Read_Matrix ()
{
   int8 j;
   ALLES_LOS = TRUE;
   PRESSED = FALSE;
   // RIJ per RIJ inscannen
   for ( j = 0 ; j < 9 ; j++ )
   {
      do_pin_io (Scan [j], 0);
      delay_us (75);
      Temp = input_d ();
      do_pin_io (Scan [j], 2);
      if ( ( Buffer [j] & Temp ) != Buffer [j] )   // er is gedrukt
         PRESSED = TRUE;
      Buffer [j] = Buffer [j] & Temp;
      if (temp != 255)
         ALLES_LOS = FALSE;
   }
}
// do_pin_io() --
// This function will perform an i/o action on a CCS pin.
// The ccs_pin parameter must be a value defined in the .H
// file for your PIC, such as PIN_B0, PIN_C5, etc.
// The CCS pin value and state can be passed in variables.
// The action must be as follows:
// Action = 0:  Set the specified pin = 0
// Action = 1:  Set the specified pin = 1
// Action = 2:  Read the specified pin and return
//                   its value (0 or 1).
// Any action value > 2 will be treated as 2.  For actions
// 0 and 1, the return value has no meaning (but 0 is
// returned).


int8 do_pin_io(int8 ccs_pin, int8 action)
{
int8 io_port;
int8 bitmask;
int8 retval;
int8 const bitmask_table[] = {0x01,0x02,0x04,0x08,0x10,0x20,0x40,0x80};

retval = 0;
io_port = ccs_pin >> 3;   // Get the i/o port address     
bitmask = bitmask_table[ccs_pin & 7];

if(action < 2)  // Is this an output action ?
  {
   *(io_port | 0x80) &= ~bitmask; // Set TRIS = output

   if(action)
     {
      *io_port |= bitmask;    // Set pin = 1
     }
   else
     {
      *io_port &= ~bitmask;   // Set pin = 0
     }
  }
else  // If not, we will read the pin  (action = 2)
  {
   *(io_port | 0x80) |= bitmask;     // Set TRIS = input

   retval = !!(*io_port & bitmask);  // Read pin (ret. 0 or 1)
  }

return(retval);   // This only has meaning if action = 2
}


However, when I want to say output_float (SOME_PIN), how can I state that?

If you read a pin, it is 'floated'. Output_float, is really just a version of the input function, that doesn't actually return the value. So 'action=2', will do what you want.

Best Wishes
