C Code Declarations

Post by jay_dee »

Hi,
I am using some old code from V8 FC and ECIO40, moving a project to V9 and the dsPIC ECIO40P16.

IC code blocks, do I need to declare any new variable at the start of each code block?
Could I declare/initiialise these variables at the start of the flowcode in thier own code block?
thanks, J.

If your variables are only needed within the C code block itself, then declaring them there should be ok.

However, if you want to access the same variable in different places within your program, then you can declare them in the defines section of the "supplementary code" feature. This is in the "Build..Project options" screen.

To initialise them, you will probably want to do this in a C code icon at the start of your "main" flowchart.
