Problem with pointer to a constant
PostPosted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 7:29 am     Reply with quote
I have this array to hold an image. I'm using pic16f887 and I can't hold more than 256 array.

Code:

File img.h
const char IMGA[256]={121,212,545...} // this holds a part of an image


Code:

File main.c

#include <16f887.h>
#DEVICE PASS_STRINGS = IN_RAM // I saw this in forum to create a pointer to a constant

void draw_bitmap(char *IMG)
{
//Process...

}



the problem is I can't access to values.

The 'const' array size limit for 16F PICs is 256 bytes:

See the code at the end of this thread. It uses a switch-case statement
to select which 'const' text to display:

Also see this one:

There might be other ways to do it.
