rand() Random with 8Bit Pic (c -sdcc)

MIOS programming (C)

MIOS32Bit Core LPC17 © >  following Code works:

if(Potentiometer <= (rand() % 255)) {
   Gate = 0;}

What the code does:

The Potentiometer is a Variable > its a Analog Input: Value from 0-255

Gate is a Variable and it Gates a NOTE-STREAM.

All Together its a Note-Random-Killer > with the Pot you set the change to be killed…

 

MIOS 8Bit Core 18F452 © > it DOES NOT work, I got following Error:

with the MIOS32 bit I dont had to declare nothing…

 

The Quest now:

how to program a random that has a predefinied min:0 & max:255

(I am not a C-Geek, Beginner > Detailed Answer would be great > “comparing 2 Registers in Cycles take the Result and…” > I cant perform such of that into code :wink: (leider)

 

(the first workaround and try of building an Analog Noise generator to feed into a AIN with an BC549 failed by smoking en up…)

ok got it… the search had results TK: 2006

 

 

   tmp = random_seed_l * random_seed_h;
   random_seed_l = TMR0L + (unsigned char)(tmp & 0xff);
   random_seed_h = 0x69 + (unsigned char)(tmp >> 8);

it makes random numbers from 0 - 255

 

all variables have to defied bevore of course…
