Code works - but did I code it ok?
PostPosted: Fri Feb 11, 2011 6:51 pm     Reply with quote

Hi,

This code works, but I was wondering if it is optimal code. It is designed to either read rfid tags and print the track name on the screen, or generate random numbers and print the track name on the screen, depending on the position of the switch.

Code:
#include <16F88.H>
#include <string.h>
#define RAND_MAX 10
#include <STDLIB.H>

#fuses INTRC_IO, NOBROWNOUT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, NOPUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=8M)
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_B5,rcv=PIN_B2,bits=8,stream=ID12, ERRORS)

//Define song with temperature range
#define LCD_DB4   PIN_A6
#define LCD_DB5   PIN_A7
#define LCD_DB6   PIN_A0
#define LCD_DB7   PIN_A1
#define LCD_E     PIN_A2
#define LCD_RS    PIN_A3
#define LCD_RW    PIN_A4
#define RFID_START_BYTE 0x02

#include "flex_lcd2.h"

#define MODE_PIN  PIN_B4

int R_Number = 0;

unsigned char s[12];

//Global Structure Type Definition
typedef struct{                                                                                                                 //Define new Structure Type
unsigned char Name[11];                                                                             //Use upto 30 characters for name string
unsigned char ID[11];                                                                                     //Upto 30 chars for ID
unsigned int temp;                                                                                                          //Temp
unsigned int light;                                                                                            //Light
}Track;                                                                                                                                  //Call this structure type: Track

   {"BoogieWoo6","233k3o43p3",0,25},      //6
   {"SoulfulMe7","98e9f8d9f8",0,25},      //7
   {"SoulfulMe8","2o3k3o43p3",0,45},      //8
   {"SoulfulMe9","23o3k3o43p",0,45},      //9
   {"SoulfulM10","23o3k3o43p",0,45}       //10
}; //Create 2 Track structures under MyTrack – extend this to add more tracks


unsigned char get_rfid_string2()

   unsigned char len, c;   
   len=0;
   do

         return 0;
      if(kbhit(ID12)) //check whther there is any recieved data or not
         c = fgetc(ID12);
   }while (c != RFID_START_BYTE);

   while(len < 10)
   {
      if(!input(MODE_PIN) )  //check MODE - RAND
         return 0;
      if(kbhit(ID12)) //check whther there is any recieved data or not   
         s[len++] = fgetc(ID12);
   }
   s[len] = '\0';
   return len;
}

int get_rand_number()
{
   return rand() % RAND_MAX;
}
void user_delay_s(unsigned int sec_val,unsigned char wait_mode)
{
   unsigned int i;
   for(i = 0; i < sec_val*10; i++)
   {
      delay_ms(100);   
     
      //break if mode change from low to high or high to low
      //it will make more responsive on switch
      if( input(MODE_PIN) != wait_mode) 
      {
         break;
      }
   }
}
void main(){

   signed int temp = 0;
   unsigned char i= 0;
   unsigned char temp_buffer[20];
   unsigned char id_len = 0;
   lcd_init();
   lcd_putc("\f");            //Clear screen
   lcd_putc("Ready");         //Print "Ready"
   
   while(1)
   {
      if( input(MODE_PIN) )      //check MODE (RFID)
      {
         lcd_putc("\fReady");
         //Get RFID string and print on LCD
         id_len = get_rfid_string2();
         if(id_len > 0) //check card preset complete or abort on mode change
         {
            printf(lcd_putc, "\f%s", s);
            printf(lcd_putc, " : %d", id_len);

            temp = -1;
            for(i = 0; i < MAX_INDEX; i++)
            {
               strcpy(temp_buffer,MyTrack[i].ID);  //get string from rom to ram
               temp_buffer[10] = '\0';
               
               if( strcmp(s,temp_buffer) == 0) //compare match and breat on match
               {
                  temp = i;
                  break;
               }
            }           
            //if matched. shows on lcd
            if(temp > -1) printf(lcd_putc, "\n%s", MyTrack[temp].Name);
            delay_ms(2000);
           
            lcd_putc("\fReady");
         }
      }
   
      if(! input(MODE_PIN) )  //check MODE - RAND
      {
     
         //output_toggle(PIN_B7); for debugging
         R_Number = get_rand_number();
         

         //LCD Display
         printf(lcd_putc, "\f%s",MyTrack[R_Number].Name);
       
         //for Serial Port
          //Track<randomnumber>
         printf("\nTrack%d", R_Number);
         //2 second interval
         delay_ms(2000);
      }
     
   }
}


I'd really appreciate some feedback.

RS232 can be very flaky when relying on a loop in main to catch every inbound char. Sure it can work but small increases in the code in main can easily throw the timing off. The use of the hardware rx pin with a circular buffer fed by an isr is probably the only way to get robust results.

Are there any examples online of this kind of system in CCS C?
