CCP Problem
PostPosted: Wed Feb 22, 2006 12:51 pm     Reply with quote

I have a problem with the compare function when trying to measure the RPM's of a motor.
The idea is to measure the period of the signal of the speed sensor.
So, when an interruption occurs, we start to count the time (by clearing TMR1),
and when the second rising edge interrupts we read the value of CCP_1.

Comparing my results against a commercial RPM meter, I found an important diference,
so I start to debug the proyect.

My results are that the value of CCP_1 variable at the time of the CCP interruption are
smaller that the real signal being measured.

To better ilustrate this, I run a simulation in MPLAB, with a signal of 60 Hz in the CCP input,
for this frecuency, the period in microseconds are ( 1 / 60 ) * 1000000 = 16666,66.

We try two options to read the period inside of the ISR:
period = get_timer1();
or
period = ccp_1;

The values at the moment of interruption are:

if period = get_timer1();
period 16667

if period = ccp_1;
period 16625

When calculate the RPM (for a 60 Hz input they are 60 * 60 = 3600), we have:

1/16667 * 60000000 = 3599.92 RPM

or with the CCP_1 value, 1/16625 * 60000000 = 3609.02 RPM


The difference is bigger when the frecuency of the input grows, at 120 Hz (7200 RPM):

if period = get_timer1();
period = 8334 => 1/8334 * 60000000 = 7199.42 RPM

if period = ccp_1;
period = 8292 => 7235.89 RPM

If you need more information (schematics, complete code, etc), please contact us.

Thank's in advance for your time.

Normally this is done by subtracting the CCP values that you get
from two sequential interrupts while in CCP Capture mode.

Do a search of the forum for "Tachometer". There are several
articles on it:
