• Extention of SELFPROG. The protokoll (date 24.04.2002) had to be redefined. The hardware adaption (schematic) isn't changed. Protokoll: All values send to SELFPROG are 16 bit with LSB first. After the controller has enterd the SP_BIOS he waits for datas. At first he attempts the start address (lsb, msb) and then the amount of words to program. From now on he must get all these words because he cannot be interrupted. The SP-BIOS echoes the lsb byte at once the msb byte after programming of that word is finished. By this way, the PIC controls the communication speed while the transmitter has to wait. There are serveral modes for SELFPROG. You define SELFPROG by $SELFPRGx. If x = 0 then you enter SP_BIOS by the basic statement SELFPROG. If x = 1 SP_BIOS will be entered immediately after RESET. If x = 2 then the same procedure as under 1 is performed except of the continuing when finished the programming. x = 0 means jump to address 0 and x = 2 means jump to the statement following SELFPROG.

Ver. 5.6-03 18.01.05

• We extented the I2C routines around the basic instructions I2CRDB and I2CWRB. Now you can access I2C bus without addressing sequence. This is useful when reading or writing the bus within a loop. Both instructions do not generate a start or stop condition.
• Meanwhile the list of arguments for DEVICE became very long. This is why we implemented an new keyword CONFIG. All entries for the configuration word can be defined by CONFIG. One argument each line. This increases readability. Switches for the compiler such as ADCFGx must remain in the DEVICE statement.
• The new basic keyword AUTO makes declarations of variables more simple. iL_BAS16 assigns the addresses and varaibles by itself. The type of variable (byte, word or doubleword) must defined by the author.

Example: Bsp. DEFINE count = AUTO AS WORD.

If you want to access the low or high byte of a word variable define as follows:

DEFINE countl = count as byte 'access to LSB of count

DEFINE counth = count + 1 as byte 'access to MSB of count

• OPTION_MASKE and CLOCK command had set RBPU always to 1 ( = inactive )

• The smallest microcontrollers PIC10F200, PIC10F202, PIC10F204 and PIC10204 can be programmed by iL_BAS16STD or iL_BAS16PRO.
• Bugfix: If using CLOCK with TMR0 RBPU bit in option register was always on --> no pullups.
• Bugfix: PRINT a decimal value wasn't correct.

• A new timebase for the CLOCK command was implemented. Instead of TMR0 you can use TMR1 as the timebase for the internal and interrupt driven real time clock. The syntax is CLOCK1 the parameter list is quite the same like CLOCK.

• Standard LCDs with up to 2 x 40 characters can be connected via a parallel-serial converter e.g. 74LS164.
• to do this, the new BASIC command "LCDTYPE" had to be implemented

• Bugfix: Up to now it wasn't possible to use the ELSE case if an LCDWRITE followed the THEN case. The compiler produced wrong code started at ELSE. Now IF cond. THEN LCDWRITE... ELSE ... works fine.

• Bugfix: On PICs with program memory larger then page size an error message (missing label) was generated when using ON x GOSUB.

• Bugfix: When writing LET VAR=VAR+CONST or LET VAR = CONST - VAR on a 12 bit core PIC the assembler generated an error message.

• Bugfix: Compiler generated an error message if you wanted to use the GOSUB command on a 12 bit PIC with program memory less or equal to page size.
• Bugfix: LCDWRITE var,const,"... didn't worked.

• Bugfix in BINTOASC, it worked only like BINTODEC but CONASC was ok.

• Bugfix in 32 bit arithmetic. The problem was: DW = DW / BY produced under some circumstances a wrong result.
• Bugfix: TXDDELAY had switched of the watchdog unexpected.

• Calculation of odd parity was wrong. Bug fixed.
• Until this version it was not possible to use SERIN and SEROUT with different baud rates and different parity. If you use uart SERIN within an interrupt service routine you must set or reset TX9 after the SETBAUD instruction.

• Instruction LOCATE y,x is now available. This command allows you to put the cursor at a specified location on the lcd.

• LCDWRITE is expanded for 32 bit decimal and hex output (no 32 bit binary depictable).
• Bugfix LCDWRITE with var32 = 0.
• LOCATE y,x to move cursor on lcd has been implemented.
• If port and pin are defined as constants in the declaration part, iL_BAS16 generated code only for software SERIN and SEROUT regardless if a uart is present.
• New PICs added: 16F628A, 16F676, 16F87 und 16F88

• CONST32 is now implemented. This allows you to compare a 32 bit variable with a 32-bit constant which is defined by DEFINE number32 = number as const. .
• Bugfixes for ADCFG in PIC 16F87 / 16F88.
• UPLINES and UPLINESX implementations and bugfixes.
• CURSON and CURSOFF turns the cursor on lcd on or off.
• BINTOBCD is available for 8 bit variables, too.

• The 32 bit assignment LET var32=var32 and the declaration DEFINE number32 as const couldn't be solved by the compiler. Now il_BAS16 can compile statements like IF var32=0 ... ; IF var32<>0 ...; IF var32 = var32 ... or IF var32=const32 ... ( <>, <=, >=) .
• When using 16F87xA iL_ASS16 ignored the PWRTE bit (configuration bit). This bug is fixed.
• iL_EDY: CTRL-Q A and CTRL-Q F copies the word under cursor into the search field.

Ver. 5.5-11 17.01.2004

• More redundant CLRWDT commands will be eliminated automatically, e.g. after DATA, $OBJ2HEX etc.
• iL_BAS16 is now generating an jump table for all GOSUBs at the beginning of program. In a few cases iL_BAS16 generates wrong code if a gosub target is on the same page but the return is on the next page. The problem appears only if the generated code is straight forward which means without any branch. $LRANGE can help in some cases, but not at all (see release 5.0-49). The manual describes this problem and advices to build a jump table for each GOSUB target. This work is boring and critically and needs a lot of discipiline. Now iL_BAS16 does this job automatically.
• iL_EDy supports hot keys which are a subset of Wordstar compatible hot keys. These are CTRL-Q and CTRL-K.

• An alternative connection scheme for LCDs are available. This frees pin Rx0 and Rx1 which is important if you wnat to use INT0. Unfortunatly no matrix key pad can be connected. Connection is like this:

Rx2 = R/S (pin 4) was wrong. See release 5.5-14!!!!!!!!

Rx3 = E (pin 6)

Rx4 = D4 (pin 11)

Rx5 = D5 (pin 12)

Rx6 = D6 (pin 13)

Rx7 = D7 (pin 14)

(pin 5 = RW must be connect to Vss)

This kind of connection scheme must be defined by the keyword UPLINES (upper lines) along with LCDINIT e.g. LCDINIT rb,4,20,uplines

• The new compiler switch $WDTUSR and BASIC statement CLRWDT has been implemented. Now you can stop suppress the insertations of CLRWDT after each BASIC line, if watchdog is turned on by a WDT_ON in DEFINE DEVICE line. But now it is your responsibility to clear the watchdog periodically to avoid a watchdog reset.
• You may write LET FIELD(0) = var1,var2,var3 etc which is obviously shorter.
• If calculation with 32 bit numbers iL_BAS16 puts all calculations, even with 8 or 16 bit numbers, into 32 bit calculations. Now iL_BAS16 pays attention on the type of variable, so different and shorter code can be generated.
