Hi all,

I'm trying valiantly to continue with my work on my encoder project,
despite now being on the road. Though I definitely pulled out my
PICkit3 and test board yesterday and did a bit of debugging at 35,000
feet!

My current problem is that a simple math equation doesn't seem to work. It =
is:
        int16_t encper =3D (encval/255) * 100;

encval is also an int16_t, and defined elsewhere in the code. I know
it is holding a value, as directly after the line of code above, I
display both variables on an LCD display. The encval variable
increments or decrements along with encoder movement. encper  however,
remains at 0...always. It shows as 0 in the watch window as well.

I am not currently on the latest version of XC8, as the current one
seems to be working and I try to avoid Microchip updates until I have
to upgrade due to a bad experience many years ago. That said, it might
be that I need to update my tools.

However before I do that, can anyone else think of a reason why this
might not be working?

Thanks!

Josh

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
