| don't want the WATCHDOG to reset, but it does! |
 Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 7:46 am |
 |
|
| Code: | | #fuses XT, NOPUT,WDT, NOPROTECT, NOLVP, NOCPD, NOWRT, NOBROWNOUT |
| Code: |
//*********************************** Main ***********************************//
void main()
{
int8 i,temp;
int16 key;
int1 Pressed, Alles_los, signaal_gegeven = FALSE;
char buffer[9];
Zoemer_aan = TRUE;
setup_wdt(WDT_2304MS);
setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS); // ADC UIT
setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
SETUP_TIMER_1(T1_DISABLED); // T1 uit
SETUP_TIMER_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1); // T2 uit
setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED); // PSP UIT
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);// COMPARATOR UIT
setup_vref(FALSE);
enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
enable_interrupts(INT_EXT);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
output_High(BR_SLEEP);
output_high(E3_uit); // E3-Lijn op hoog plaatsen
output_low(BUZZ); // Buzz laag
//Batterijspanning controleren; indien te laag: niet opstarten.
do
{
Meet_Vbat(&Vbat);
restart_wdt();
if (Vbat < 3.5 && !signaal_gegeven)
{
//LOW_BAT_WARNING();
restart_wdt();
BUZZER();
signaal_gegeven = TRUE;
}
}
while (Vbat < 3.5 ); |
In main, I'm first checking the battery voltage; if it's too low, the pic just doesn't fire up. if it's good, the program begins to run.
Now I have touse the watchdog to get me out of sleep_mode. Because when the device is in sleep, the battery voltage also has to be monitored.
Now is on this code, the pic continuously reseting! I don't want that, I want it to buzz 1 time and stay looping until Vbat is good..
suggestions?
** Is there another way to wake up from sleep to check the battery voltage instead of the watchdog?
** The watchdog wakes the PIC up every 2300MS. How can I prolongue this time? If I want to check the battery voltage every minute for instance.
Many thanks |

If you don't know why the PIC is reseting then use the restart_cause()
function at the START of main to print why. Use info from the header file for the chip to decrypt the number returned. |

Make a small test program to experiment with the Watchdog Timer
in Sleep mode, until you understand it completely.
If you still can't make it work, then post a small but complete
test program, including the #fuses, #include, and #use delay()
statements. |

Just some thoughts:
1) You are restarting the watchdog after Meet_Vbat() and directly again before BUZZER(), so the second iteration has a total time of these two functions before restarting the watchdog again. How much time do the functions Meet_Vbat and BUZZER take together?
2) The CCS define WDT_2304MS gives the impression of being very accurate, but on most PIC devices the watchdog is specified with approximately a 50% margin. You didn't mention your processor type, but for example on the PIC16F688 the watchdog is typical 17ms, with a minimum of 10ms and a maximum of 30ms. Suppose your chip has the minimal value, then the watchdog doesn't trigger after 2304ms, but after 1280ms. Have you accounted for this? |

The reason why it resets is that the PIC always, upon wakeup caused by the watchdog, starts the program anew. FROM THE BEGINNING.
That's why, in my example, I look for the cause of the restart, and act accordingly.
Look again, read it, try to understand it. |

That's not true if the PIC is in sleep mode. From the 18F452 data
sheet, in the section on Special Features of the CPU/ Watchdog Timer:
| Quote: |
During normal operation, a WDT time-out generates a
device RESET (Watchdog Timer Reset). If the device is
in SLEEP mode, a WDT time-out causes the device to
wake-up and continue with normal operation (Watch-dog
Timer Wake-up). |
There are also lots of little "gotchas" in sleep mode wakeup
with regard to interrupts and the watchdog. That's why I asked
him to do a test program. From the data sheet:
| Quote: | To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruction
should be executed before a SLEEP instruction. |

PCM,
Then why does my little test program always do a fresh start every time the watchdog wakes it up?
To be honest, when I did that little test program (mainly as a learning exercise for myself), I couldn't figure out why the pic kept resetting, when the data sheet said that it shouldn't.
The only way I could get it to behave as it should (or as I thought it should) was to code the program the way I did. My conclusion was that the watchdog was doing a fresh restart every time. |

Might be because you have no infinite loop at the end of your code if the battery voltage is good!

Scott,
You're confusing me with someone else. My code doesn't check for battery voltage, and it does have an infinite loop at the end of main.
A link to my code: http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22952&highlight=sleep
It goes to sleep, the watchdog wakes it up, and it starts fresh with every watchdog timeout.
I'd like to know what I'm missing. |

Here is a demo program for wake-up from Sleep by the watchdog timer.
I tested this with PCH vs. 3.188 on a PicDem2-Plus board.
It displays the following output in the terminal window:
| Quote: |
Start
Sleep
Wake up
Sleep
Wake up
Sleep
Wake up
etc. |
| Code: | #include <18F452.H>
#fuses XT, WDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock = 4000000, restart_wdt)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, restart_wdt, ERRORS)
void main()
{
printf("Start\n\r");
while(1)
{
printf("Sleep\n\r");
restart_wdt();
sleep(); // Go to sleep and wait for WDT to wake-up
printf("Wake up\n\r");
delay_ms(500);
}
} |

PCM,
Thanks, that gives me a new approach to try.
