Help with ADIN

I am using an ATOM24 (not pro) and can't get the ADIN cmd to compile.
adin AX0,0,AD_RON,adcBits
returns error: [TOKEN 0]: Expected variable

Not sure why. I am following numerous examples. I declared adcBits as LONG. Tried a variable = to zero instead of zero, but no luck.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
JP

What version of the IDE/Studio are you using?

I believe that the newer versions of Studio have converted the ADIN command to the new format:
adin pin, variable

Kurt

I tried both version 1.0.0.15 and 1.0.0.20

Thanks Kurt. I just tried ommitting the clk speed and the adsetup as you suggested and now it compiles. I guess I must be using an older manual.

JP

Yes, you are definitley using an old manual since we haven't released a new one yet.

In 1.0.0.20 you should now be getting command syntax popups after you type the command name(add a space after the command name and it should pop up) for reference.

Since we're on the subject of new/old manuals; I am trying to compile a while...wend loop in Basic Micro Atom IDE 2.2.1.1 like this:

while (x = 0)
statement
wend

and it's telling me "while without wend" error. Is that not the right syntax?

The while/wend command can't be used inside a do/while block. This is true on ALL version of our software.



You can probably see why you can't use a while/wend inside a do/while block from the example code above. The compiler thinks the first while is the end of the do/while block and then it sees a wend without a starting while and pukes.
