I2C 18f8722 to 18f4431 problems
PostPosted: Sat Mar 15, 2008 1:20 pm     Reply with quote

I'm having trouble getting I2C working between two PIC's (It is my first go with I2C)

I have a PIC18f8722 as a master and an 18f4431 as the slave. Compiler Version is 4.068 and the scl and sda lines have 5k pullups, communication is via a 10cm ribbon cable between two PCB's.

Basically what I am trying to do is use the 8722 as a central controller and the 4431 as a dedicated motion controller so I can control several motors over the I2C bus.

The code below is for the master and slave and just sends a pair of bytes over the I2C, I have spent quite a while looking through the forum for help but have finally reached a full stop - I can't get the slave to respond in any way to the master...

Master Code:
Code:


#include <18F8722.h>
#device adc=8
#device HIGH_INTS=TRUE

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer

The slave never gets to the SSP interrupt.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

1. Don't try to run the master in i2c "FAST" mode. Run it in SLOW mode.
Microchip doesn't guarantee that the slave will work in fast mode.

2. Remove the "FAST" parameter in the slave. The slave doesn't use
a baud rate generator. The master provides the clock.

3. Make very simple test programs for the master and the slave.
Prove that you can make i2c work between them. Then slowly change
it to be more like your final application. Prove that it works at each
stage as you change it.

Use the CCS example file code, Ex_Slave.c, for the Slave PIC.
It's in this directory:

Use the code in this post for the Master PIC:

Ok, changed everything as you suggested, all I get back is "read ΓΏ"
The ACK returned by spi_read(); is still 1

1. Post your compiler version.

2. Post your new master program.

3. Post the first few lines of Ex_Slave.c, to show the changes that
you made to the #include, #fuses, #use delay() and #use i2c statements
so that it would work with your PIC. Don't post the rest of Ex_Slave.c.

Change the printf() statement in the master so that it uses "%x" instead
of "%c". Then we can see the hex value that it reads. Run the test
and post the result.

Also, can you confirm that you are running these tests on real hardware
and you're not using a simulator ?

It produces ff

I am using real hardware - two PCB's with SMD Pics (One has been used a lot and appears entirely reliable, the other (the 4431) was put together last week.

Probably worth mentioning that the 4431 board sometimes produces garbage on its first printf statement (when I had a printf before main) The garbage appears on power up but then works ok once it is running. Not sure what this could be but it might be related.

I have checked the connections, both sets of pins on each pic are connected (and continuity checked) to their counterparts on the other board.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a scope to check the signals. (This is an Easter holiday project and my scope is locked away at work!)

And in case you ask, both share common ground and 5v power supply ;)

One other thing. I have two identical 4431 (Slave) boards and I tested the code on both of them with the same results.

I might try using one of them as a master and the other as a slave just to see if that works.

I tried the same code but using identical pics (18f4431) as master and slave but still get ff returned as the data


I think the printf problem I has was down to getting the tx and rx lines crossed on the USART (Bad board design on my part :o ) - I swapped them over and don't get garbage any more.

I think I might have an 18F4431 chip in my parts box. If so, I can test
it on Sunday with vs. 4.068 and see if I can make it work.

Given the comment about lines swapped on the USART, you have checked the really obvious things about the connections?. On I2C, the lines _do not swap_, so SDA on the first chip, goes to SDA on the second, and SCL on the first to SCL on the second. The lack of any response, does sound like something 'basic' like this...
'ff' is exactly what you would see, if there was no device connected.

The crossed USART lines was down to me plugging a two pin connector in the wrong way round.

I have triple checked all the I2C connections, and now just checked them again. When the boards are all connected up the resistance between the SCL and SDA pins and Vdd appears OK (about 5.5k).

I just wish I had a scope meter . . . Actually, I might hook up the I2C pins to a pair of Interrupt on Change Pins to see what it can detect.

The problem is that the library code is incorrect when you use pins D2
and D3 and the SSP_RD fuse. It works OK if you pins C4 and C5.

Here's the .LST file for pins C4 and C5. It is correct.
Code:
..... #use i2c(SLAVE, SDA=PIN_C4, SCL=PIN_C5, address=0xa0)
009E:  MOVF   FC9,W   // SSPBUF
00A0:  MOVFF  2D,FC9
00A4:  BSF    FC6.4   // CKP bit = 1
00A6:  BCF    F9E.3   // SSPIF bit = 0
00A8:  BTFSC  FC7.0   // Test BF bit
00AA:  BRA    00A8
00AC:  CLRF   01
00AE:  BTFSC  FC6.4
00B0:  INCF   01,F
00B2:  GOTO   0112 (RETURN)


Here's the .LST file for pins D2 and D3 with the SSP_RD fuse.
The registers and bits are not correct. It can't work.
Code:
.. #use i2c(SLAVE, SDA=PIN_D2, SCL=PIN_D3, address=0xa0, FORCE_HW)
009E:  MOVF   F66,W   // CAP2BUFL register  *** Bug
00A0:  MOVFF  2D,F66  // *** Bug
00A4:  BSF    F63.4   // CAP1CON.4 bit   *** Bug
00A6:  BCF    00.0    // 00.0 bit   *** Bug
00A8:  BTFSC  F64.0   // CAP3BUFL.0 bit  *** Bug
00AA:  BRA    00A8
00AC:  CLRF   01
00AE:  BTFSC  F63.4  // *** Bug
00B0:  INCF   01,F
00B2:  GOTO   0112 (RETURN)


I suggest that you report this bug to CCS and then use the other pins
until they release a fixed version.

Note: These tests were done with your version, vs. 4.068. I also
compiled it with vs. 4.069 and it still has the same problem.

Thanks PCM Programmer. The irony is that my maintenance agreement has just run out...
