MPLAB IDE compiling error

Hi all,


When i debug the program, following errors come out:

Does anyone encounter this problem before? how to solve it?

I am using PIC16F877A with LM35, temperature sensor, LCD, PIR sensor, 2 PWM outputs, and RFID reader. I tried write the program separately as 1 main program with :
#include "i2c.h"
#include "i2c_rtc.h"
#include "lcd_disp.c"
#include "functions.c"

and put some variables in local functions, but still cannot work.

Please help. Thanks a lot.

It seem to be "over code". The program you tend to compile is too large to be fit inside PIC16F877A. Try to reduce some of the code or functions.

[TeoYX]

i am combining few DIY projects, i.e PR11, PR12, PR14 and PR25 then add some features. Is that too long to put into a PIC16F877A?

[TeoYX]

Can please help why this error happened?

Please help to explain what should i do to solve this error.

Thanks a lot.

It seem you din include the library (c file) of I2C.

[TeoYX]

when i write #include "i2c.c" and #include "i2c_rtc.c", below error come out:
Error [192] C:\Users\Teo Yu Xiang\VIP\PIC Program Testing\i2c.c; 116.8 undefined identifier "RW"
Error [192] C:\Users\Teo Yu Xiang\VIP\PIC Program Testing\i2c.c; 235.8 undefined identifier "RW"

If i define RW as unsigned char RW, error come out:

Is that the proper way to use i2c.c instead of i2c.h? Any related post about this error when using real time IC? Please help. Thanks a lot.

I am no expert on Hi-Tech C. From what I read from another forum, this is what others said:

Just taking a stab at it without seeing your code I would say that you have an array that is 0x58 words long and the biggest contiguous block you have is 0x38 words long.

A suggestion would be to make some of your global variables in to local ones ( if possible ) that way some of the memory locations can be reused by the compiler and free up space for your array.

If you are in lite mode you may have run out of memory.  The compiler is inefficient on purpose in this mode.  If you are border line, different compiler version may work or not.

So, in conclusion, you should not take what Ober had said lightly. Try to "remark" off some of your codes and recompile again. Or look for another PIC with more memories like 16F1519 (16kW) or 16F1939. They are available in 40P PDIP and PLCC footprint.

OR you may wish to buy the pro version of the Hi-tech C compiler or better still get the mikroC compiler. Look at the website attached and see the limitation of the PICC Lite.

The 16F877A has only 8KW of memory. If I were you I would have download all the hex files of PR11, PR12, PR14 and PR25 and try to load each of them to the PIC programmer UIC00A/B. Manually select the device as 16F877A. On the programmer's HEX window, you should be able to see the last address loaded into the PIC. For 8K memories, the address range is 0x0000-0x1FFF only.

http://www.htsoft.com/support/faqs.php#faq83 -> That would be the answer to the problem.

You may need to change to another microcontroller which is much bigger in memory.

OR you may wish to buy the pro version of the Hi-tech C compiler or better still get the mikroC compiler. Look at the website attached and see the limitation of the PICC Lite.

The purchased Hi-Tech C is extremely expensive, and you had to pay a lot for yearly upgrades.

I would suggest either the CCS or the MikroC compiler. Both of them are very very good.
