#define
PostPosted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 10:49 am     Reply with quote
Hi Guys

I am using #if defined TypeA or #if defined TypeB throughout my code depending on which of two product types will be connected.
Code:

#if defined(__TYPE_A__)
///code here
#endif
   
#if defined(__TYPE_B__) 
///code here
#endif

This works very well but requires setting TYPE_A or TYPB_B when compiling. I am now looking to be able to switch the type via an rs232 command and wanted to know if I can re-define the system to say type_B from within the code.

Is it possible to just run the command
Code:
#define     __STYPE_B__


Thanks

The #if statements work at compile-time.

Apparently you want something that works at run-time. One method
would be have an eeprom address set to a certain value. Then you
could read the eeprom address at start-up, and load it into a RAM
variable. Then test that RAM variable at suitable points in your program
with if() statements to control program flow.
