Internal Oscillator troubles
PostPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 3:58 pm     Reply with quote

Hello,

Newbie to the PIC and I am having some trouble getting the internal oscillator to work on the PIC16F88. I can get an external oscillator to work fine, but really would like to use the internal. I have the following fuses set:

#use delay(clock=4000000)
#fuses NOWDT,INTRC_IO, NOPUT, NOMCLR, BROWNOUT, NOCPD, NOWRT, NODEBUG, NOPROTECT, FCMEN, IESO

Which were just set as standard in the PCM wizard.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

To get the feature working, in which CCS automatically sets up the
the OSCCON register for the internal oscillator, you have to put the
#use delay() statement after the #fuses statement. Example:
Quote:
#fuses NOWDT,INTRC_IO, NOPUT, NOMCLR, BROWNOUT, NOCPD, NOWRT, NODEBUG, NOPROTECT, FCMEN, IESO
#use delay(clock=4000000)



I have a question. Did the PCWH wizard create it with the #use delay()
statement on top ?

Yes, by the way it did. I am using 3.203. Also, Do I still need the setup_oscillator statement in main()? Thanks for the quick reply.

In your version, the CCS startup code sets the OSCCON register = 0x60.
This selects 4 MHz operation, and uses the oscillator setting specified
in the #fuses statement, which is the internal oscillator. So, you don't
have to use the setup_oscillator() statement to get into 4 MHz INTRC
mode. The CCS setup code does it for you.

Still have a heck of a time with this thing. Nothing is happening. What are the minimum pins that I need hooked up. I have power and ground. Then I have a 1k pull up on B0 and an LED to ground through a 330 ohm and I have MCLR tied to 3.3v which is the supply. The code goes:
#include <16F88.h>

#fuses NOWDT, INTRC_IO, NOPUT, NOMCLR, BROWNOUT, NOLVP, NOCPD, NOWRT, NODEBUG, NOPROTECT, FCMEN, IESO
#use delay(clock=4000000)

#define FOREVER 1




main(){
while(FOREVER){
output_low(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(100);
output_high(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(100);
}
}

I just want to turn the led on an off, so that I can move onwards. Greatly appreciate the help thus far.

Are you using the "LF" version of the PIC ? According to the data sheet,
the LF version is required if you want to run at 3.3v. The regular "F"
version won't work.

Also the Brownout feature can't be used at 3.3v. In the 16F88, the
Brownout voltage is fixed at 4.0v +/- 0.35v. So change your fuse
setting to NOBROWNOUT.

Good call

Thanks for the heads up. I looked at the first page summary of the chip and had no idea that it came in an LF version. Well that should solve the problem. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks a million for all your help.
