Error in Webbot lib documentation
« on: March 14, 2010, 04:47:45 PM »
Hi guys,

I'm adding a LCD to my bot (20x4 parallel) and I noticed a mistake in the Webbot doc.
In the display section, the part regarding writer initialization is:

Code: [Select]
Writer(myDisplay_put_char){
   displaySendByte(&myDisplay, byte);
}

where it should be

Code: [Select]
MAKE_WRITER(myDisplay_put_char){
   displaySendByte(&myDisplay, byte);
}

Otherwise it works faultlessly, as usual. Great work Webbot!

Chelmi.

actually it should probably be:

Code: [Select]
MAKE_WRITER(myDisplay_put_char){
   return displaySendByte(&myDisplay, byte);
}

to get rid off the warning.

Chelmi - thanks for the 'heads up' - I'll take a look at the docs for the next release.

Just for info:-
Reporting documentation errors via this forum is fine - but I'd prefer them as emails or PMs.
Why?  Well these forum threads hang around for years after the docs have been fixed and don't xref any version/release of the docs so kinda act as fog in the longer term.
I also sometimes get some 'reports' which are actually wrong - and this then acts as negative documentation in the future.


Thanks for the observation.

Ok Webbot,

I wasn't sure of the popper "procedure" and figured the info could be useful to somebody else.
But you remark makes sense and I'll modify this thread after the next release.

Chelmi.
