getc() problem
PostPosted: Wed Oct 13, 2004 1:38 pm     Reply with quote

I have made a small program
Code:


#if defined(__PCM__)
#include <16F819.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, parity=N, xmit=PIN_B7, rcv=PIN_B6, INVERT)

#include <math.h>

void main()
{
   int8 duty,i;
   char st=' ';
   int val1,val2,val3;
   float Total;
   int1 incr_decr;
   int mode; //lighting condition grabbing set
 //  setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_port_a(AN0_AN1_AN3);
   setup_adc( ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL );
   set_tris_b(0b10111011);   //set ccp1 pin as low as output ccp1 pin is b2
   setup_ccp1(CCP_PWM); // Configure CCP1 as a PWM
   setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_1, 255, 1);
   duty=50;
   set_pwm1_duty(duty);
   delay_ms(10);
   incr_decr=1;

   while(1)
    {
     while(getc()=='a')
     {
     set_pwm1_duty(0);
     delay_ms(100);
       for(i=0;i<256;i++)
          {
          set_pwm1_duty(i);
          delay_ms(50);
          set_adc_channel( 0 );
          delay_us(100);
          val1 = Read_ADC();

          set_adc_channel( 1 );
           delay_us(100);
          val2 = Read_ADC();

          set_adc_channel( 3 );
          delay_us(100);
          val3 = Read_ADC();

          printf("%2u %2u %2u %2u\n\r",val1,val2,val3,i);
          st=' ';
         }
       }
      }
}


In this program, What I want is whenever I click on letter'a', it start loop, when I am not clicking on letter 'a', it will wait for me to click on the letter 'a' again. however, the program works like this way, when power is on, it waiting for me to click on letter 'a', after I click on letter on, the program start for-next loop, and keep loop again without waiting me to click on letter 'a'. please help to find what is the reaseon and how to correct it?

The 16F819 does´n have UART.
The reason of the endless loop is

while(getc()=='a') where once keyed "a", the while always is true.

Try this way:
Code:

while(1)
    {
     do
        {
          char_rcved = getc();
        }while(char_rcved !='a');
       
       set_pwm1_duty(0);
       delay_ms(100);
       for(i=0;i<256;i++)
          {
           set_pwm1_duty(i);
           delay_ms(50);
           set_adc_channel( 0 );
           delay_us(100);
           val1 = Read_ADC();

           set_adc_channel( 1 );
           delay_us(100);
           val2 = Read_ADC();

           set_adc_channel( 3 );
           delay_us(100);
           val3 = Read_ADC();

           printf("%2u %2u %2u %2u\n\r",val1,val2,val3,i);
           st=' ';
           char_rcved = 0;   // clear char_rcved to break the TRUE condition
                                     // inside the do while cycle
          } // for...

     } // while(1)
   


best wishes,

Humberto

Do you think an integer only goes from 0 to 255 might have something to do with it?

Code:

    for(i=0;i<256;i++)

I did as you advised, I still get the same result anyway.

do you thing I should go to a big loop, but I do not a bigger loop anyway?

Wrong. It will wait for another press.

What he means is that i<256 will always be true since the next value after 255 is 0 for an 8bit int. Change it to i<255 or make i be a int16.

Thank you, Dayman and mark is right
