I am trying to use TassyJim's BMP085 code for my new E-Ink display weather station but I get an error code

Quote > run
[80] Function Calibrate()
Error: Variable type not specified

Any ideas Jim.

I guess you are using OPTION DEFAULT NONE but haven't declared what type the function returns.

The usual problem with communicating with micromites is, you haven't selected the correct syntax file. MMMEdit uses the syntax file to determine what sort of device it's talking to. Use V5.3 'cos I have been too slack to put out a V5.4 syntax yet.

Thanks Jim changed it to 'Function Calibrate() as integer'
that is now OK but when it gets to the pressure I get.

In that one, you also need to declare the oss variable type.
It doesn't matter if it's a FLOAT or INTEGER, as long as you declare it.

Function pressure(oss as integer) As integer

It's a bugger being forced to do things properly, but it will be worth it eventually.

Thanks Jim this is just a step above my programming level at the moment. Basic has become so advanced.
I've been at it nearly all day, time to go to a BBQ and have a beer.
