calling subroutine problem in mikroC

too many actual parameters mikroc

hi. i got this code in which i want to call a subroutine. It got error that it has too many actual parameters. What is that error? How do you create and call a subroutine in the main program? any sample will help. or link? Needless to say, i'm a newbie in c. thnx in advance.

//
char n;
void flash () ;
void main()
{
while(1)
{
flash(5);//this is the error line
delay_ms(3000);
}
}
void flash
{ for (n=0; n < 5; n++)
{
trisb = 0;
portb.f0 = 1;
Delay_ms(500);
portb.f0 = 0;
Delay_ms(500);
}
}

for loop mikroc

Your declearation of the function flash should specify that it passes an int.

void flash (int n);
void main();

....

mikroc portb input

thanks for the reply. helped a lot. now i have another one, i want to run this such that RB7 act like a switch. when its on, it performs the task. Problem is, it doesn't work that way i tried with == and =. both not working. help is much appreciated. here is the code. another thing, how to simulate switch in MikroC IDE?

unsigned int i=1;

void main() {if (PORTB.F7=1)
{
PORTB = 0;
TRISB = 0;

while(1) {
for(i=1;i<=63;i=i++)
{

PORTB.f0 = 1;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f1 = 1;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f2 = 1;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f3 = 1;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f4 = 1;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f5 = 1;
Delay_ms(1000);


for(i=63;i>1;i=i--)
{
PORTB.f5 = 0;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f4 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f3 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f2 = 0;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f1 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f0 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000) ;
}
} } }
} //~!

too many actual parameters microc

you should set TRISB to 1000 0000 so RB7 is input... and then it will work... I supposed if you press RB7 it will make a secuence of turning on leds, and then turning them off... i dont understand what's up with the 63 loop...(so I took it out!)
maybe you could explain your code a little more...

void main(void)
{
PORTB = 0;
TRISB = 0b10000000;
while(1) {
if (PORTB.F7==1)
{
{
PORTB.f0 = 1;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f1 = 1;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f2 = 1;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f3 = 1;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f4 = 1;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f5 = 1;
Delay_ms(1000);
}
{
PORTB.f5 = 0;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f4 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f3 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f2 = 0;
Delay_ms(1000);
PORTB.f1 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000);
PORTB.f0 = 0;
Delay_ms (1000) ;
}
}
}
} //~!

mikroc subrotina

tnx for the help. silly me, forgot to set the input. it worked already. the 63 count is just for me to practice on the use of the for loop. nothing to it, though the effect is different coz it doesn't allow the sequence to repeat. How to simulate now the switch/button in MikroC simulator? in MPLAB, i used the stimulus editor? MikroC got one or its equivalent? tnx for any help again.
