PIC 16F877A interrupt on B4 strange activity
PostPosted: Fri May 23, 2008 9:01 am     Reply with quote
Greetings programming gurus.

Im trying to interrupt when a change (hi/low) is detected on PIN B4 on my pic16f877a. My code in entirety is as follows;

Code:


#include <16F877a.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)

int8 value = 0;

#INT_RB
void portchange_isr ()
{
value = input(PIN_B4);
}

void main()
{
   output_low(pin_c5);
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
   enable_interrupts(INT_RB);
   set_tris_B(0xF0);
 
 while(1)
      {
       if (value == 0)
              {
               output_low(pin_c5);
              }
              else
              {
               output_high(pin_c5);
              }
      } 
  }


//IDE VERSION 4.057
//PCM VERSION 4.057
//PCB VERSION 4.057



The issue I am having is as follows.

I know that the interrupt routine gets called and executed, however i have PIN_C5 connected to an LED. This LED seems to stay on all the time. I know the interrupt gets called, because when I toggle (with a wire) between 5v and zer0 volts at b4, the led brightens and dims accordingly.

It almost seems like I have a floating issue, but the only wires connected to my chip are grounds and the vcc. Might anyone be able to shed some light on this situation for me ?

Best Regards,

As you have it setup, B4, B5, B6, and B7, will all trigger the interrupt. If these are not pulled to a rail, then you will get spurious triggers. Enable the portb pullups on the port, so these pins are all pulled high, before enabling the interrupt, to avoid this.
