opening terminal window

[davidwf]

How do I automatically open a terminal window after download?.... this page http://www.picaxe.com/BASIC-Commands/Serial-RS232-Interfacing/sertxd/ says "There is an option within View>Options>Options to automatically open the Terminal windows after a download" but I am damned if I can find it !
I am using editor 6.08.11

#terminal 4800

Speed is dependent on setfreq, 4800 is default for 4Mhz.

as simple as that ????? jees.... thank you
prsumably this goes right at the end of the program?

Is the above linked statement no longer correct then?

 

[davidwf]

The code runs on the SIM but after a few seconds fails saying "stack overflow - more gosuibs than returns" but I can't see why

When I download it, the terminal window now opens but nothing happens

Your 'lights off' sub calls the 'delay 10' sub, which then calls the 'lights off' sub, which then calls the 'delay 10' sub, which then calls the 'lights off' sub etc. etc.

oops...it's still in the development stage.....and will be for some time by the looks of it

Thank you

Also, if I preset c.1, c.5, c.6, c.7 to '1' to prevent all those calls, the sim stops with a warning that 'hi2cin' is being called before 'hi2csetup' has been called.

Is that because you have not posted the full code ?

does it???.... I thought line 274 if pinc.1 = 0 then gosub lights_off would only action IF pin c.1=0.... but pin c.1 is high at thie time

I am struggling with the full code as I am still trying to work out how to read & set the time using one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DS3231-RTC-AT24C32-I2C-Precision-Real-Time-Clock-Memory-Module-Arduino-UK-FAST-/400857145439?hash=item5d54f2a05f:g:nuMAAOSwECZUqo8y
I don't need anything complicated, just to be able to set the time (hours & mins only) - I have made a start by defining the variables as you can see, ultimately I want to turn the lights off at a time set in line 315

I am also trying to upload the cct diagram but the uploader just sits there spinning

I ran it in the sim initially with all pins low, and it stopped on gosub overflow. Then I set the pins high, and it stopped with the hi2c error.

I'm sorry I can't spend more time on it at the moment, but I'm sure some forum member will have a bit more time.

Cheers,

Thanks for your help so far
cct diagram now attached

David, something with that many different subsections needs to be worked out section by section little by little.

Indeed....and I AM trying to do just that
