Problem with compile

Post by LtDan80 »

I'm not sure if the download for the compiler worked, or if there is a problem somewhere else. I hit compile, and it tells me that it cannot read my file because it cannot find it, same thing when i hit go. My computer will not read the file extensions at all. Not sure if this is common or not. I'm used to using BasicX and I figured I'd give this chip a try, however, I have not been able to get it to download any programs to the chip. Thank you for the help.

Does it indicate which file it cannot find? Tell us a little more about the steps that lead to the problem and the complete messages that are generated. Do you load a project? If so, what files are in it?

I'm not sure what you mean here. What are you seeing that leads you to this conclusion?

What OS are you using (XP, Vista, etc.)?

I figured out the problem, I was doing file new, instead of project new. I was trying to use the file to run the program, it is working fine now. I will be working with this chip a lot for a senior graduation requirement. I'm sure you will be hearing back from me. I will also send the final report with sample code for different sensors and motors back. Thank you for the prompt response.
