Hello guys, this is my first time programming a microchip using ccs. I want to program a Pic18f87k90. Here is the code I did for a square wave, please have a look at it and tell me if I am doing everything right.
| Code: |
#include <18f87K90.h>
#use delay(crystal=20mhz)
#use rs232(baud=9600)
// Square wave function
void main() {
while (TRUE) {
output_high(PIN_D2);
delay_ms(1000);
output_low(PIN_D2);
delay_ms(1000);
}
} |
Thanks for your replies |

Always tell us the compiler version. 
However comments:
1) Have you got the MCLR pin on the chip pulled up?.
2) Correct power connections. Figure 2-1 in the data sheet.
3) What voltage are you running the chip?. Vreg enabled or disabled?. Figures 31-1, and 31-2 in the data sheet.
4) You need to ensure the LCD drive is disabled. Otherwise D2, is a segment drive.
setup_lcd(LCD_DISABLED);
This is a general comment. You need to always ensure other peripherals on a pin are disabled. Segment output has priority over normal I/O.
5) Your #USE RS232, needs to specify a UART, or pins to apply to. Doesn't matter since you are not using it, but something like:
#USE RS232(UART1, BAUD=9600, ERRORS)
6) How are you testing the output?. Remember if this is feeding something like an LED, a current limiting resistor is needed. |

7) #FUSES !!! you don't specify any and the 18f87K90 is a VERY complex chip with a long list of fuse options to consider.
you picked a doozy of a chip to "learn" on ..
is this because you have it on a development PCB of some kind already ? |

re: #7 yup ! I use the 18F46K22 and have a complete, separate file JUST for fuses !! I #include it as the 'defaults' aren't what I need and there's so many that I hate seeing 2 pages of fuses at the top of the programs!!
Even the 46K22 is 'fun' the 87K90 wouldn't be my first choice to learn on !!

The ones given for his code with the current compiler, are:
| Code: |
Configuration Fuses:
Word 1: C215 VREGSLEEP INTRC_HP SOSC_DIG NOXINST HSH NOPLLEN FCMEN IESO
Word 2: 7C7E PUT BROWNOUT BORV18 ZPBORM NOWDT WDT1048576
Word 3: 8B01 RTCOSC_T1 CCP2C1 ECCPE MSSPMSK7 MCLR
Word 4: 0091 STVREN BBSIZ2K NODEBUG
Word 5: C0FF NOPROTECT NOCPB NOCPD
Word 6: E0FF NOWRT NOWRTC NOWRTB NOWRTD
Word 7: 40FF NOEBTR NOEBTRB

Which probably ought to work.
It's waking on the INTRC oscillator and switching to the HSH oscillator without PLL. If he hasn't actually got a working crystal, it'll then drop back to the internal oscillator.
It ought to _run_, though whether at the right rate is more dubious.... |

hmm...
The ones given for his code with the current compiler...
I didn't see a hint as to which version..... |

Agreed totally. First line of my post...
Assumed he most probably has the demo compiler, so a recent version. Could very easily be totally wrong in this assumption. |
