| [Answered] Out of Rom Pic16F628A |

I am making a digital clock using LEDs powered by shift registers instead of a 7 segment display. Anyway, when compiling the code, I get the following error:
| Code: | ***Error 71 "test.c" Line 351(0,1) Out of ROM, A segment or the program is too large num
Seg 00004-007FF, 07DC left, need 0F8F
Seg 00000-00003, 0000 left, need 0F8F |
And here is my code so far:
| Code: |
#include <16f628a.h>
#use delay (crystal=32768)
void num(int rnum, char out, char clk) {
//start clear shift register
output_high(clk);
output_low(clk);
output_high(clk);
output_low(clk);

can somebody please help me with this problem regarding that I'm a newbie to this subject?
Thanks in advance.

Get a book on the C language or just Google for this:

C tutorial for loops
|
And one more tip: Don't use floating point in a small PIC. |

Ok, I know I did the loop in the main function in a hideous way but my question was about the Out of ROM error. I also forgot to mention I'm new to this subject so I didn't understand your tip. |

A search of the forum would find the answer.
Key point is that the PIC memory, is organised as a number of small pages, and each subroutine has to fit into a page.
You have 99% of your code in one enormous 'lump', which can't be split up.
Most of the sequences of high/low clocks, could be made into a single routine, and then called, rather than being repeated again and again in the code.....

Your reply gave me an idea, the numbers' segments could be stored as an array of bits which is called in a function that has the routine. Could that work? |

Even simpler an array of bytes.
For instance (hypothetical only):
| Code: |
const int8 patterns[] = {0b00101011,0b11001100,.....};
void send_pattern(int8 pattern_number) {
int8 count, temp,mask=1;
temp=patterns[pattern_number]; //Get the selected pattern to send
for (count=0;count<8;count++) {
output_high(clk);
output_low(clk);
}
//much smaller than doing this eight times.....
for (count=0;count<8;count++) {
output_bit(out,temp&mask); //output bit
output_high(clk);
mask<<=1; //rotate mask
output_low(clk);
}
//Then send 'patterns[pattern_number]'
}
|
This sends the bits LSb first - alternatively start with mask=128, and shift it right to send the bits MSb first.
Hopefully you get the idea.
Your cases would then disappear, and just become a single call to send_pattern, with rnum being the pattern to send.
Code many times smaller...
