putchar & getch error??

The MPLAB compile error...

Isn't that putchar (& getch) standard built-in function..?
What could it be...

I was trying to compile this example, "EX_INTEE.C"...

Certain functions can only be used if the library is included in the
program. Libraries are included with a #use statement. Look at
#use rs232() in the CCS manual, or look at most sample code that
is posted in this forum for an example.

To add to what PCM said, it also tells you for PUTChar (page 206 of the current manual) that #USE_RS232 is required.

Thanks guys..
Got it...

Code:

...
#use delay(clock=8000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_A1, rcv=PIN_A2)
/*
for dummy only (device doesn't have actual rs232)
>> to access some built-in functions
*/
...

What if I actually use the pin_A1 & pin_A2 for something else, that would actually create some I/O states.. How to avoid that..? Can I use non-existing pin names, for example, pin_D1 & pin _D2 on a P12 part?

putc() and getc() require pins. They perform physical i/o.

Why would you want to use putc() and getc() without a physical RS-232
connection ?

I actually want to access EEPROM, read & write. The putc & getc happened to be in 'input.c' as shown in the EX_INTEE.c example. Is there a better way to access EE??

I've just figured out the example uses rs232 just for a demo. EE access does not need these includes..

Code:

//#include "stdlib.h"
//#include <input.c>
//#include "limits.h"



Thanks anyway...slowly getting there... Smile

But, in my code, the VSM debugger seems to hang because of EECON1,WR does not clr. Any clue??

Pprobably means your emulator, does not actually emulate the EEPROM hardware. Quite a few don't emulate features like this.
