Help With Loops

[Ben Omlor]

Hello,

With the following test program, I have a switch hooked to C.4 the "sub ten" subroutine activates a ISD1416 voice chip to say 10.
I expect that when I push the button it will get stuck in a loop saying 10 10 10 10 . but it does not, it seems to start the program over and I have to push the button again.
I'm certain I'm missing something, but I can't seem to figure out what it is.

thanks for any thoughts!

chip 16f18345, 16

option explicit

dir portc.4 in
wpuc4 = 1

main:
do

if portc.4 = 0 then
goto start
end if

loop

start:
do
gosub ten
loop

sub ten
wait 10 ms
set porta.2 on
set portc.0 on
set portb.4 on
set portb.5 on
wait 3 ms
set portc.7 off
wait 600 ms
set portc.7 on

gosub reset

end sub

sub reset
set porta.2 off
set portc.0 off
set portc.1 off
set portc.2 off
set portb.4 off
set portb.5 off
set portb.6 off
set portb.7 off
end sub

From a code perspective the loop ten (then reset) should be repeating.

I suspect your reset routine to be incorrect. Examine that, does it need a/some wait()?

Once again you were spot on. It did not like the reset subroutine. I tried adding waits and pauses with no change. Turned out it did not like the name "reset" for the sub. I renamed the sub RST and now she works fine.

So tip of the day, don't name a sub reset .

As always thanks for your input!

Of course reset is a reset on that chip.

Well spotted.
