pcf8583 pic18f452 mikro c program problem

[y0shi18]

from the given examples provided by mikroC database (programme) to program a RTC PCF8583 to Pic18F452 using MikroC :

Code:

 * Project name:
     RTC_Read (Reading date/time stamp from PCF8583 through I2C)
 * Copyright:
     (c) MikroElektronika, 2005-2008
 * Revision History:
     20050130:
       - initial release;
 * Description:
     This project is simple demonstration how to read date and time from PCF8583
     RTC (real-time clock). The code can be used with any MCU that has MSSP
     module at PORTC. Date and time are printed at LCD.
 * Test configuration:
     MCU:             PIC16F877A/PIC18F4520
     Dev.Board:       EasyPIC5
     Oscillator:      HS, 8.000MHz
     Ext. Modules:    RTC module (PCF8583), LCD 2x16 chars
     SW:              mikroC v8.0
 * NOTES:
     - In order to use the example, address pin A0 of PCF8583 must be set to 0V!
     - For proper I2C communication, pins on PORTC must be in the pull-up mode,
       and the LEDs on board switched OFF!

    Delay_ms(1000);                                // wait 1s
  }
}

It seems like there are compilation errors. i entered the i2c_addresses and the error will always appear at :

Code:

//----------------- Main procedure
void main() {
  Init_Main();                                     // perform initialization
  while (1) {
    Read_Time(&sec,&min1,&hr,&day,&mn,&year);      //   <------------------------- error appears here 
    Transform_Time(&sec,&min1,&hr,&day,&mn,&year); // format date and time
    Display_Time(sec, min1, hr, day, mn, year);    // prepare and display on LCD
    Delay_ms(1000);                                // wait 1s
  }
}

Is it something that i have left out or there are some parts of the code requires modification?
i just want to compile this code so that it can be displayed in a 2x16 lcd.
The current source code is to Read only, not for writing time.
Sorry for the noob question.

read time from PCF8583  ( tested with real simulation)

[y0shi18]

thanks for the source and also the effort to try to make it work.

i was wondering why VRCON and CMCON is used and what are they used for ?
in this case, is USART needed for a Real time clock function?
The PCF 8583 is connected to pic18F452 through the C port, (RC3 and RC4).
how should i go about displaying the time in a 2x16 LCD ?

Thanks and much appreciated

i hope this help you
