How to read duty cycle with PIC ?
PostPosted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 2:51 am     Reply with quote

I want to read duty cycle with PIC. I try to use frequency counter code to read duty cycle but I don't know how to use it. This is my code
Is this true or false to read and calculate duty cycle.

Code:
#include <16F648A.h>
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#fuses XT,PUT,BROWNOUT,MCLR,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#define  TxD         PIN_B2   
#define  RxD         PIN_B1   
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=TxD,rcv=RxD)

float time1,time2;
BOOLEAN hook_cpp1, HookRise;

#int_ccp1
void capture_isr()
{
   if(HookRise)
   {
    time1 = get_timer1();
    HookRise = FALSE;
    printf("X");
   }
   else
   {
    time2 = get_timer1();
    HookRise = TRUE;
    hook_cpp1 = FALSE;                          //done
    printf("Y\r\n");
   }
}
void InitialChip(void)
{
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);               //Input Digital
   set_tris_a(0B11111110);
   set_tris_b(0B11111111);
}

float T;
void main(void)
{
   InitialChip();
   printf("Frequency Counter\r\n");
   setup_timer_1(T1_INTERNAL|T1_DIV_BY_8);      // Setup timer 1

   while(1)
   {
      HookRise=TRUE;
      hook_cpp1=TRUE;
      printf("Frequency Counter\r\n");
      setup_ccp1(CCP_CAPTURE_RE);
      enable_interrupts(INT_CCP1);              // Enable interrupt CCP1
      enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);                // All interrupts ON

      set_timer1(0);
      while(hook_cpp1==TRUE);
     
      setup_ccp1(CCP_OFF);
      disable_interrupts (GLOBAL);
       
      T = (time2-time1)*8*1000*0.000000001;;                // Td=cycle*(4/fosc)*PR
      printf("Time1 = %f\r\n",time1);
      printf("Time2 = %f\r\n",time2);
      printf("Time = %f\r\n",time2-time1);
      float t_all;
      t_all = time1/(time1+time2);
      printf("t_all = %f\r\n",t_all);
      //printf("Duty cycle = %f\r\n",time1/(time1+time2));
      printf("Frequency:%f Hz   %9.3e ms\r\n",1/T,T);
 
 delay_ms(500);
   }

}


The results of this code is.

Quote:

time1 = 73.00
time2 = 198.00
time2-time1 = 125.00
time1/(time1+time2) = 0.26
Frequency:1000.00 Hz 9.999E-04 ms

time1 = 78.00
time2 = 203.00
time2-time1 = 125.00
time1/(time1+time2) = 0.27
Frequency:1000.00 Hz 9.999E-04 ms

hmm... you could just grab the example that CCS supplies in the examples folder.....
or...
search the 'code library' or this forum for 'measuring pulse width' for complete code

And, as a comment, you have 'no hope', with the printf's there. Even if the UART buffer is empty, over 1mSec 'jammed' in the interrupt handler in the second case, waiting for the data to send. Invalidates everything.
As it stands though, the interrupt is always triggering on the rising edges, so all you are measuring is subsequent rising edge times, not the pulse width/duty cycle...
