Compiler Error, run out of MIPS

Hello PBovier251,

As the error says, you are running out of MIPS. Have you had a look at the compiler output file? This file is located in a folder where your project resides.

Please attach your project, we will have a look and see what's happening.

Hi Harish, thanks for the reply.  As I said in my post, this project has been compiled/linked/downloaded many times and runs fine, just this morning it won't compile (I haven't changed anything).  I (thought I had) attached the project to the OP, here it is again:

Here is the contents of compiler_output.txt:

Hello Peter,

You are indeed running out of MIPS. Your program used more than 1016 instructions hence it gave you an error. I just deleted two readback cells and it compiled fine. The MIPS used became 1014 after deleting those readback cells.  It allows to compile until 1016.

If you need the readback cells for reading the limiter flag, then delete one of the level meters that you think less important. I will have a look if by any chance I can optimize the code a little.

Harish

Thank you, Harish.  What was confusing me is the instruction count I got was 905, I don't know why you got a higher number.  But I deleted a meter and it compiled with 987 instructions, which verifies your results.  Appreciate the help.
