whats rong with it

hi friends,

this is part of the code used to read the binary data from a motorola Oncore gps timing RX (they do/did a version that can output 10Khz as well).

its got 4 errors so plz tell me what is bad

GetRx
   call   readst      ; read receiver data string
   iorlw   0      ; test W, 0 = checksum good
   btfss   status,z   ; if read error do not update lcd
   return
      ; Call again for second string
   call   readst      ; read receiver data string
   iorlw   0      ; test W, 0 = checksum good
   btfss   status,z
   return
      ; if read error do not update lcd
   MOVLW   0x01       ; Clear LCD
        CALL    cout
   CALL   chkbsy

   movf   day,w      ;Send date
   call   p_bin
   movlw   '-'
   call   dout
   movf   month,w
   call   p_bin
   movlw   '-'
   call   dout
   movf   year_hb,w
   movwf   hbyte
   movf   year_lb,w
   movwf   lbyte
   call   bin2bcd
   call   p_4      ; send 4 lsd from "R" reg to LCD

   movlw   ' '      ; send space
   call   dout

   movf   hour,w      ; send time
   return

  • my code complies now :=)

    and i now put in coments to understand

    but do you think it dorks?

               MOV   R4,A          // load register wit a
               MOV   R2,#6         // number of bits
    
    CharLoop:  MOV  A,R0           // load a agin
               MOVC A,@A+DPTR      // ??????????
               MOV  P0,R0          // get next key
               INC  R4             // add 1
               INC  R2             // again
               CJNE R1,#9,CharLoop // branch if 9
               RET
    <pre/

  • You've never given even the remotest hint of what it is supposed to do, so how can anyone possibly tell whether it does that or not!

    Most of your comments add nothing that is not directly obvious by simply looking-up the instruction in the manual.
    The whole point of commenting code is to explain what it is trying to achieve - not simply reiterating what is obvious from the instructions themselves!
