PIC Industrial and Domestic Timer Compile error!!!

Hi. I am new here.
I found this fantastic website with great project while searching over net.

I want to build the PIC Industrial and Domestic Timer (Relay Controller) which is found here...http://www.8051projects.net/download-d233-pic-industrial-domestic-timer-relay-controller.html

I tried to compile the code in mplab, but getting huge error.
Im using mplab v8.10 and Hi-tech 9.60

heres the error log, hope someone can help me solving this.

BTW. Its really need to mention that im pretty new to PIC micro controller.

Error   [491] ; . can't find 0x3B words for psect "rdata_0" in segment "BANK0"

********** Build failed! **************

Ill ve really glad if anyone here to help me out with this thing.

Thanks in advance.

I see most of them are warnings but just one error: "Error [491] ; . can't find 0x3B words for psect "rdata_0" in segment "BANK0"

I feel its because of version issue. The code was compiled in 9.80 Hi-tech C. try if you can attach the MAP file created in the project directory (zip it). also in alarm.c try making "unsigned char alarm_check[]" as const and see if that makes any difference.

Also you might need to play with some optimization settings of the compiler as its of space issue. Are you using a full/pro version of this compiler or lite version?

Hello Ajay. Thanks for your reply.
After reading your comment, i downloaded the mplab ide version 8.92 and Hi tech c compiler version 9.80.
Now the code copile successfully but with this little warning.

anything i should change or do anything to get rid of that warning?

*can you tell me which mplab version you used in that project?

Thanks again for your kind help.

^_^

Can anyone tell me that the situation is now with Hi-Tech ?
I know that Microchip bought out Hi-Tech, but what happened to the
9.80 Hi-tech compiler.
All my searches lead back to the Microchip site where it says the
9.80 Hi-tech compiler is not available for purchase !

Initialise _data in the header file to some value to get rid of this warning.

hi. thanks for the suggestion. can you elaborate a little please?
what i did in i2c.h file was like

/////
unsigned short i2c_read
unsigned short ack {
unsigned short i;
char data;

   I2C_SDA_1;  // Release the data pin

   // grab the data
   for(i=0;i<8;i++) {
      data = 1;
      
      I2C_SCL_0;
      I2C_delay();  // Clock is low
      
      I2C_SCL_1;    // Clock released to high.
      
      while (I2C_SCL_IN==0) {;} // Wait here if clock is pulled low by slave
      if (I2C_SDA_IN) {data |= 1;} // Sample the data
      
      I2C_delay();  // Clock is high
   }
   
   // Send ACK or NACK
   I2C_SCL_0;
   
   if (ack) I2C_SDA_0;  // ACK
       else I2C_SDA_1;  // NACK

   I2C_delay();  // low T/w.
   I2C_SCL_1;
   I2C_delay();  // high T/2.
   
   I2C_SCL_0;    // Return clock to safe state.

   return data;
}

the line 11 is what i changed from"data <<= 1" to data = 1"
it gives me no error, and build successfully.

but the problem is, all the system starts up, with working button and display.
but it is not setting the time and date as i input. i can set the time and date, all function is okay, says time and date has changed at the end, but after that, it returns to default date at the static screen.

it seems that rtc is not storing/acknowledge my data.

then i tried with your Hex file (in project folder) and unfortunately it displays jumping time and date like this.......
??-??-?? AS-ON
??-0?-20?? ....
those question marks flicker randomly without any kind of interaction.

whats going on?

the line 11 is what i changed from"data <<= 1" to data = 1"
it gives me no error, and build successfully.

Put it back as it was,then change
char data;
to
char data=0;
