Interrupt routine for 7-seg display update?
PostPosted: Fri Jul 15, 2005 7:18 am     Reply with quote
Hi All,

I've just started learning embedded C and I've just finished going through the sample code included with the CCS PCWH compiler. I'm attempting to write my own code, but i'm struggling to get interrupts to work.

I'm basically reading the temperature from a DS1631 device and displaying the 'tens' value on a dual 7-seg display. The problem being that the DS1631 only updates every 750ms. Obviously if I add this delay in the code below, the 7-seg will also only update every 750ms.

Is there a way I can add in an interrupt routine that reads the temp every 750ms, but allows the display to update in the main() routine?

Any help/pointers would be very much appriciated.

Code:

//******************************************************************************

#include <prototype.h>
#include <ds1631.c>


byte CONST LED_MAP[10] =
{0x3f,0x06,0x5b,0x4f,0x66,0x6d,0x7d,0x07,0x7f,0x67};

void display_number( int n ) {
   output_b(LED_MAP[n/10]);
   output_low(PIN_C0);
   delay_ms(2);
   output_high(PIN_C0);
   output_b(LED_MAP[n%10]);
   output_low(PIN_C1);
   delay_ms(2);
   output_high(PIN_C1);
}

void main() {
   int value;

   init_temp();

   while(TRUE) {
      value = read_full_temp();
      display_number(value);
      delay_ms(750);
   }
}



regards,
Ed

You can do this by multi tasking.
Code:

while (true)
{  if(Read_Temp_Delay)
   {  --Read_Temp_Delay;
   }
   else
   {  Read_Temp_Delay=750;
      Pull_Temp_Reading();
   }
   Update_Display():
   delay_ms(1);
}

Neutone,

Not too sure how the code below works? Can you perhaps explain it a bit more as i'm not entirely sure what's going on. Sorry to have to make you spell it out...

My 7-segment 5-digit LED display (colon included) looks like

88:88

ca_io[] is a char array of size 5:
ca_io[0] = pattern for digit 1
ca_io[1] = pattern for digit 2
ca_io[2] = colon on/off
ca_io[3] = pattern for digit 3
ca_io[4] = pattern for digit 4

I refresh it continuously with my RTCC isr:

Code:

#INT_RTCC
void timer1_isr(void)
{
    static int x = 0;

    if (!GLOBAL_inhibit_all_leds)
    {
        port_a = ca_io[x];
        port_d = GLOBAL_character[x];
    }
 
    x++;
    if (x == 5)
    {
        x = 0;
    }

}


Furthermore, I have my RTCC set at
xtal: 8Mhz
PLLx4 enabled: gives effective 32MHz Fosc.

(4 * 128 * 256) / 32000000 = 4ms per timer overflow interrupt

Code:

    set_timer0(0);
    setup_counters( RTCC_INTERNAL, RTCC_DIV_128 | RTCC_8_BIT);
    enable_interrupts(INT_RTCC);
    enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
