Variable Bit Error

[Osta]

Bit variable behaves as a byte....

I did this device.
The real variable - BYTE !!!

Hi Osta,

BoostC did not support bit variables so we simply made a bool equal to a byte.

XC8 does support bit variables so the attached code should solve the problem your having.

The file lives in the "Flowcode 7/CAL/PIC" directory.

Hi Benj!
Yes! Now it works.
Now it is necessary to add the COF file ..

Hi Slava,

The PIC XC8 compiler should automatically create the .cof files as part of the compile process.

I've found a bit of a bug concerning the last update and may explain things. Anyway it seems to have broken other parts of the code so I am investigating this now.

(698) bit variables must be global or static

Looks like to use the bool type as a macro parameter it cannot be a bit in the C code for 8-bit PIC. The compiler will likely use a full byte memory location for each bit variable anyway (unless combined into a struct) so even if we are using byte in the C code it should not have any impact on code efficiency.

Here's the original file if you need to go back.

Thanks Benj!
I will leave as is, since other functions are working properly.
For example, select the team (if) does not always work correctly.
