Using the following code over my experimental board it is working (press button1 and led keeps on) but when I use protoboard led just stay on for a few seconds.
Note: Over protoboard I am not using external crystal and I am using a ATX (PC power supply).
| Code: |
#include <16F628A.h>
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#fuses NOWDT,INTRC_IO, PUT, NOPROTECT, NOBROWNOUT, MCLR, NOLVP, NOCPD
#define button1 PIN_A1
#define LED7 PIN_B7
void main() {
output_low(LED7);
while(TRUE)
{
if (input(button1) == 0)
{
output_high(LED7);
}
}
} |

I would guess your PIC is resetting. I see you have the watchdog turned off in your code, but not all programmers obey those fuse settings. Check that the watchdog is really off.

thank you SherpaDoug
how can I make sure watch dog is off?
What can be the reasons pic being reseted?
Is there a possibility, power supply be the cause of this problem? As I am using an ATX PC power supply.
I have seen something like setup_oscillator(OSC_8MHZ | OSC_INTRC); but did not work
I tried #use delay(INTERNAL=4Mhz) it did not work
I tried #use delay(clock=2000000,PLLEN) it did not work
does anyone suggest anything, please?
Tks

How good is your power supply (Is it clean?), also what are you doing with your MCLR pin on the protoboard? You might want to do a test where you change the MCLR pin to be an IO and see if that works.

My power supply is an ATX (used over computer). I have 5,19 v on Vcc.
Is it possible use 3 batteries (1,5 V each = 4,5 V total) to test this circuit?
thank you

You probably could use the batteries, as long as they can handle the LED current as well. How about the MCLR pin, what is going on with that one? How is it connected in the protoboard? Did you try to disable the MCLR pin function?

MCLR pin it is not connected.
I have tried without MCLR declared at fuses but the problem remain.
What else could you suggest?
Thank you

Take a look in the datasheet for the proper connection of MCLR. If I remember off hand, you can pull it up to 5v via a 4.7K resistor.
As you stated, it works with your one board, but not with the other. This would lead me to believe you have some sort of HW difference.

Put s pullup resistor on MCLR.
Do you have decoupling capacitors installed between power and ground of the PIC?
If the power supply is not connected to a PC motherboard, have you jumpered the power good signal to ensure the power supply is enabled?

You need to also understand 'defaults'. The MCLR input is enabled, _unless_ you turn it off. Just leaving the MCLR fuse out, does not disable it.

Problem was related to MCLR as Ttelmah mentioned.
I just did this:
5V----10K----PIN4
The code keep the same.
| Code: |
#include <16F628A.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,NOPUT,NOPROTECT,NOCPD
#use delay(internal=4000000)
#define botao PIN_A1
#define LED PIN_B3
void main() {
output_low(LED);
while(TRUE)
{
if (input(botao) == 0)
{
output_high(LED);
}
}
}
|
Thank you very much.
