WDT and 16LF88
PostPosted: Mon May 22, 2006 10:46 pm     Reply with quote

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up the WDT on a 16LF88 using CCS C. The SETUP_WDT
function in CCS doesn't seem to know about these newer parts which
have prescaler settings yielding a WDT timeout period longer than 2.3
seconds (the function documentation only lists values up to 2.304
seconds). Do I have to set this up manually or is there a new function
or new way of doing this in CCS? We have version 3.249 of the CCS
compiler.

Thanks,

Sean

Apparently CCS only implemented it on some PICs. I made the
test program below to add extended WDT capability to the 16F88.

In the program below, if you press the Enter key about once per
second, the program will not timeout. If you stop pressing the key,
the program will repeatedly do a WDT timeout, about every 2 seconds.

I tested the program with three of the WDT constants and measured
the timeout periods with a stopwatch. The measured periods are
shown below in the comments.

Note that the fuses are set for NOWDT, and you enable the WDT with the
setup_enhanced_wdt() macro. The constants for the timeouts are taken
from one of the other .H files which do have support for long timeouts.
Code:

#include <16F88.h>
#fuses EC_IO, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_B5, rcv=PIN_B2, ERRORS)

#define WDT_ON          1
#define WDT_OFF         0

#define WDT_DIV_32      1
#define WDT_DIV_64      3
#define WDT_DIV_128     5
#define WDT_DIV_256     7
#define WDT_DIV_512     9    // 2 seconds
#define WDT_DIV_1024    11
#define WDT_DIV_2048    13   // 8 seconds
#define WDT_DIV_4096    15
#define WDT_DIV_8192    17
#define WDT_DIV_16394   19
#define WDT_DIV_32768   21
#define WDT_DIV_65536   23   // 260 seconds

#byte WDTCON = 0x105

#define setup_enhanced_wdt(x) WDTCON = x

//===========================
void main(void)
{

setup_enhanced_wdt(WDT_DIV_512);

printf("Hello World\n\r");

while(1)
  {
   getc();
   restart_wdt();
  }

}

Thank you, PCM Programmer, that was a very helpful reply.
