Sensor Network with I2C
PostPosted: Tue May 19, 2009 1:44 pm     Reply with quote

I am currently working on a project involving sensor network. Eleven PICs are to be used in the network. I have been trying to use I2C to implement the network in such a way that I have ten slaves and one master. The whole idea is to have ten discrete sensors (slaves) communicating with central base station (master).

Addressing the slaves has been a big problem. I can only broadcast on the network. I cannot uniquely request for data from individual slaves. I saw somewhere that no one has ever successfully implemented correct addressing with the CCS compiler. I do not know if this is true or not.

Assembly code was said to have worked.

1. Post the PIC that you are using for the slaves.
2. Post the #use i2c() statement for a few of the slaves, so we can see
the addresses that you are using.
3. Post your compiler version.

Thanks,
1. I am using PIC18F4520 for all the slaves and the master.
2. #use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=104)
3. I am using PCW.
I will soon post the full slave and master code.
Once again, Thanks

Post several of the #use i2c() statements for your slaves, so I can see
the slave address on each one.

I mistakenly posted a reply without logging in. My last reply was attributed to a guest. Some of the slave #use are:
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=97)
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=98)
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=99)
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=100)
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=101)
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=102)
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=103)
#use i2c(Slave,Slow,sda=PIN_C4,scl=PIN_C3,force_hw,address=104)

The slave addresses shown in bold are not correct. The slave addresses
must be an even number.

Slave address
PostPosted: Wed May 20, 2009 2:16 am     Reply with quote

I tried using two slave PICs just to ensure that the addressing problem is solved before using ten. The following is the Master code that I wrote. The problem with this is that data is received from the first slave after with the nothing else happens (as if the program hangs). These were the first codes I used and the crap that I posted yesterday were the ones that I resorted to when this one that I originally expected to work did not ( I have not joined this forum then anyway)

I will be glad anyone can help me scrutinize this code for any errors. I might be biased.
Code:

#include <18F4520.h>
#device adc=8
byte stad,gook;

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES HS                       //High speed Osc (> 4mhz)
#FUSES NOPROTECT                //Code not protected from reading
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES BORV25                   //Brownout reset at 2.5V

The obvious thing is that you never 'stop' the first transaction.
A repeated 'start', is legitimate on a single I2C device, normally used as a way of switching bus direction, but a repeated start, with a device already selected?....
I2C, needs care on a number of things.
Make sure you ack/nack as required on data transfers. Failing to switch for the last byte, is a common error.
Stop, when you have finished.

This is supposed to be the i2c Master program, but it's full of code
for the slave program. It has calls to i2c_isr_state(), but that routine
is supposed to be called inside a slave interrupt routine.

I suggest that you start over. Try to make small Master and Slave
test programs. Get those programs working. Then expand the code.
Here is how to do it:

Use the CCS example file code, Ex_Slave.c, for the Slave PIC.
It's in this directory:
Quote:
c:\Program Files\picc\Examples\Ex_Slave.c

Use the code in this post for the Master PIC:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32368&start=3

See if you can make that test work.
