Touch with 18F46J50
PostPosted: Wed Jun 01, 2011 2:55 pm     Reply with quote

Hello Forum,

I wrote my first code:

Code:

#include <18F46J50.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT
#use delay(clock=8000000)
//#use fast_io(b)
#use TOUCHPAD(THRESHOLD=6, PIN_A0='5')

void main()
{
set_tris_d(0b11111111);
output_low(PIN_D7);
output_high(PIN_D4);
output_high(PIN_D5);
output_high(PIN_D6);
char c;
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
TOUCHPAD_STATE(1);
while (TRUE)
{
  if(touchpad_hit())
  {
    output_high(PIN_D3);     
    c=touchpad_getc();
    if (c=='5') output_high(PIN_D3); else output_low(PIN_D3);
  }
  output_toggle(PIN_D2);
  delay_ms(500);      
}
}


But the Touch sensor don't work. Compiler 4.121
What's the problem?

I'd suggest writing the 'blinking LED' program first to verify that your compiler, PIC, and protoboard are all working correctly then move onto the touchpad program.

Hello,

the LED on D2 is binking

Code:
  output_toggle(PIN_D2);
  delay_ms(500);


the LED on D3 is never on.

One problem with your code is you can't tell if it never detects the touch or if it never gets the '5' from getc() (you might see a very quick pulse with a scope, but you won't see it with your eyes if it is detecting the touch, but not the '5'). Start by toggling the LED each time it detects a touch then you can move on to is it getting the right data.

Code:
#include <18F46J50.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT
#use delay(clock=8000000)
#use TOUCHPAD(THRESHOLD=6, PIN_A0='5')

void main()
{
set_tris_d(0b11111111);
output_low(PIN_D7);
output_high(PIN_D4);
output_high(PIN_D5);
output_high(PIN_D6);
char c;
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
TOUCHPAD_STATE(1);
while (TRUE)
{
  if(touchpad_hit())
  {
    output_high(PIN_D3);     
    c=touchpad_getc();
  }
  output_toggle(PIN_D2);
  delay_ms(500);      
}
}


I changed the code, but the LED on D3 is off. I think if touchpad_hit is true the D3 gets high an stay high.

Aaarghh,

i think i found an bug in CCS:

Code:
#use TOUCHPAD(THRESHOLD=6, SCANTIME=32, PIN_B2='5', PIN_B3='6')


is not working, but this:

Code:
#use TOUCHPAD(RANGE=18, THRESHOLD=6, SCANTIME=32, PIN_B2='5', PIN_B3='6')


There should be an default value for RANGE (18)
There are also 2 Warnings:

>>> Warning 202 "main.c" Line 4(5,8): Variable never used: CTMU_STATUS
>>> Warning 202 "main.c" Line 4(5,8): Variable never used: CTMU_THRESHOLD
