CODE:Not_Zero  decfsz MyVal,1
                 goto Not_Zero
                 other instructions.... As long as MyVal is not zero ' goto Not_Zero' is executed,forming a loop.Once MyVal becomes 0,the goto instruction is skipped and execution starts from 'other instructions'.For incrementing to 255 you can do it this way.. CODE:Not_255    Incf MyVal,1
                 Decfsz Countdown,1
                 goto Not_255
                 other instructions... Countdown = 255 (assuming MyVa l= 0)Strange..not even a compare instruction is available for the 12fxxx. http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10130.html 2008-12-01T23:32:26-08:00 nicholastyc thanks for info...i really having problem for the encoder part...i try to use incf and decf and then btfss/btfsc STATUS,Z to check for the max 255 and min 0 !it works...but the encoder part really having big problem..its cant determine which direction correctly...Shyam can u provide me a code of encoder? thanks http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t10130.html 2008-12-01T23:32:26-08:00 shyam actually u people are working on assembly...i didnt use assembly for years so cant help on asm parts..have interfaced encoder on lpc21xx controllers working fine but incthe procedure is the same as i explained...keep trying for a couple more days .. may be this weekend i'll make a code fr ya...will do it fr the 51 uC in asm..till then keep trying and have us informed.
