Syntax Question..

[Joseph88]

Hello PIC C Professionals!

I'm getting a "Bad Syntax Error" when I compile the code indicated below, does anyone have any ideas?

lcd_putc("\fHello World\n", 1); <--get error here. works if I don't have the extra "1" argument added.

void lcd_putc(char* c, int8 lcdNum)
{
switch(c)
{
case '\f':
lcd_send_byte(0,1,lcdNum);
delay_ms(2);
break;
case '\n':
lcd_gotoxy(1,2,lcdNum);
break;
case '\b':
lcd_send_byte(0,0x10,lcdNum);
break;
default:
lcd_send_byte(1,c,lcdNum);
break;
}
}

Any ideas? As mentioned above, this code works if I don't have the extra argument for lcd_putc.

Thanks for the help!

lcd_putc only accepts a single argument, which is a character string, so it won't like you adding another argument.

What were trying to accomplish with the extra argument?

Hi rberek

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. I'm trying to write code for multiple LCD's. So instead of having multiple lcd_putc functions, i'd like to use just one.

Then you have to change the lcd_putc to include the second argument.
