Hello all,

I found this frequency counter code over internet , its an assemble language code , i already worked with assemble codes but have very short knowledge about assemble
.
So the hex file with the package works fine on simulator , but i have to add some things also need to edit lcd pins for this code. But MPLAB and MPASM gives me errors while compiling , also the errors are about syntax mostly. I searched alot about this matter but nothing found.
 
Please help me identifying this code's compiler , or please help me compiling this code.

Files are attached.

Looking at the *.asm file its standard Assemble Code, as in most data sheets. as its for a 16F84 get a early copy of Mplab of 20 yaers back.

Hello Ahmed,

looks like parallax assembler code. It was sold to Tech-Tools.
Take a look at: http://www.tech-tools.com/picmicro-downloads.htm

If You want to rewrite the source, differences explained here:

If you're interested I have a working project (years old) plus schematic for a frequency counter using a 16F84A.
I'll upload if you want it.

PS Just to confirm, your file won't compile on MPLAB

I think this code is for custom compiler/assembler , it even not working on CVASM , also tried to change the compiler directives , but no still no. have you tried this code by yourself ? if not pls give it a try



Yes this is the main issue , MPLAB isn't recognizing this code. Syntax is different.
And yes i want to try , pls upload also if you worked on that project will that code run with MPLAB ?

Hello Ahmed,

if You look into the header file "16F84_32.txt" You will find the clue:
AKIZUKI's assembler.

I was not aware of this assembler. AKIZUKI seems to be a company in
Japan which sells Evalboards for PIC and some other microcontroller.

The 'ds' pseudoinstruction was also used by the parallax assembler,
so this was my first guess after i took a look into the main source.
The note regarding the assembler is only in the include file...

The AKIZUKI-assembler seems unavailable today. The examples of
AKIZUKI-evalboards use MPASM now.
Perhaps some boardmember from Japan has this software still on his harddisk.


Good luck and
Best Regards

Here is a good one. I built the kit back in the 90's. "Weeder frequency counter" uses standard Microchip assembler

Finally with help of your advise about that compiler/assembler , now i am finally able to compile that asm file with success.
The main issue was header file that included by author , a little modification in that file make me successful.

Best Regards.

If anyone interested i can upload the whole project :)
