Advice on a simple program
PostPosted: Mon Dec 10, 2007 4:30 pm     Reply with quote

Hello all I am having trouble getting the simplest of programs to actually do something once it gets on the chip.

I am testing out a PIC16F628A and I can't seem to get any of the pins to "pulse", though everything seems to work fine in MPLAB SIM30 version 3.60.00.00. I am developing with MPLAB IDE 7.60.00.00, compiling with the CCS C compiler 4.0.38, and programming with Quasar electronics PIBmicro programmer version 201106. I have verified that I get a clock pulse on the board but do not see any of the pins on port b pulsing, can you provide any advise?
Code:

#include <16F628A.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use fixed_io(b_outputs=PIN_B0,PIN_B1,PIN_B2,PIN_B3,PIN_B4,PIN_B5,PIN_B6,PIN_B7)

void main()
{
   int8 toggle = 0xFF;
   set_tris_b(0x00);
   while (1) {
      toggle = ~toggle;
      output_b(toggle);
   }//while
}

You don't need to set fixed i/o mode or TRIS. Just let the compiler
handle it. If you use the CCS i/o functions, the compiler will put in
code to properly handle the TRIS. You don't even have to think about it.

Here's a simple test program that toggles Pin B0. I specified the NOMCLR
fuse, because it's possible that you forgot to put a pull-up resistor on
the MCLR pin. With the NOMCLR fuse, this won't matter. The PIC will
still run the program even without the MCLR pull-up.

If it doesn't work, I would suspect your programmer, or maybe you
don't have a crystal and its capacitors properly connected to the PIC.
Code:

#include <16F628A.h>
#fuses HS, NOWDT, PUT, NOLVP, NOMCLR
#use delay(clock=20000000)

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

while(1)
  {
   output_high(PIN_B0);
   delay_ms(500);
   output_low(PIN_B0);
   delay_ms(500);
  }

}

In case your crystal might not be functioning properly, you could try using the internal oscillator to see if it works.

Code:
#include <16F628A.h>
#FUSES NOWDT
#FUSES PUT
#FUSES NOMCLR
#FUSES NOLVP
#FUSES INTRC_IO
#use delay(clock=4000000)


void main()
{
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);
   setup_oscillator(OSC_4MHZ);

   while(1)
   {
     output_b(0x00);
     delay_ms(500);
     output_b(0xFF);
     delay_ms(500);
   }
}
