16F684 issue: performance decay with PWM
PostPosted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:36 pm     Reply with quote

Hi, I have something happening inside my 16F684, below is the code of my simple program:

_ it listen on PINs A0 A1 A2 for some button to be pressed via interrupt
_ then it increase/decrease/zero the value of PWM
_ and increments a variable (which represent how many times buttons where pressed)

The behavior is that if I:

_ comment the instructions inside the ending while(true) the system is responsive to button press (empty loop)
_ uncomment (enable) the code inside the while_loop the system becames unresponsive, slow to react and sometimes i miss button press.

I used fast_IO on port C and A; Some of you may guess, the 4 bits output is feeded to a BCD decoder attached to a 7 segment display (to keep track of button press, not yet tested).

What i'm missing?

Tnx.

P.S. PWM-PWM-PWM looking inside the forum there are too many question arising from it Smile - at first, did i setted right the PWM? (8MHz clock, 20Khz PWM signal, 400 steps - actually it is working)

Code:
#include "C:\Documents and Settings\Guest\Desktop\PIC\main.h"
#use fast_io (A)
#use fast_io (C)

long value=0;
int cont=0;

#int_RA
void  RA_isr(void)
{
   delay_ms (30); // leave out bounces
   
   // increment PWM value
   if (input_state(PIN_A0)==1) {
      output_toggle(PIN_C3);
      if (value<=395) value+=5;
      set_pwm1_duty(value);
     cont++;
      while (input_state(PIN_A0)==1);
      }
   
   // zero value
   if (input_state(PIN_A1)==1) {
      value=0;
      set_pwm1_duty(value);
     cont++;
      while (input_state(PIN_A1)==1);
      }
   
   // decrease PWM value
   if (input_state(PIN_A2)==1)
   {
      output_toggle(PIN_C2);
      if (value>=5) value-=5;
      set_pwm1_duty(value);
     cont++;
      while (input_state(PIN_A2)==1);
      }
}

void main()
{
   set_tris_a (0x3F); // all inputs
   set_tris_c (0x00); // all outputs
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
   
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   
   // 20KHz PWM with a total of 400 possible steps
   setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_1, 99, 1);
   setup_ccp1(CCP_PWM);
   set_pwm1_duty(value);
   
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);
   
   enable_interrupts(INT_RA);
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
   setup_oscillator(OSC_8MHZ);

   while(true) {
   delay_ms(1000);
   output_c(cont & 0x0F);
   }

}

Look at your compiler warnings (or enable them). You should see
this warning:

Interrupts disabled during call to prevent re-entrancy: (@delay_ms1)

Adding the line in bold will solve your immediate problem:

Exactly! wow, must refine my search routines Wink

Tnx!
