Need help getting CLKOUT to work
PostPosted: Wed Jun 09, 2004 9:34 pm     Reply with quote

I'm using an 'F877 and would like to get the xtal clock freq (19.2MHZ) /4 from the CLKOUT (pin 14) to use in the circuit. I have used a logic probe to look for any output from the pin, and cannot see anything, nor will it drive the desired circuit.

I have used the below program just to verify that the PIC is actually running, and it is.

Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

Steve

delay_ms(1000);
lcd_gotoxy(3,3);
lcd_putc("Goodby, World!");

The CCS compiler puts a hidden SLEEP instruction at the end of main().
Your program is executing this instruction, which causes the oscillator
to stop running. The solution is to put a constant loop at the end of
main(). See the example below:

main()
{
lcd_init();
lcd_putc("Hello, World!");
delay_ms(1000);
lcd_gotoxy(3,3);
lcd_putc("Goodby, World!");

while(1); // Add this line
}

Thanks, PCM. That simple change made it work.
