impossible to enter while() loop !
PostPosted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:35 pm     Reply with quote
Hi there,


I've wrote a code for my PIC16F877 based card, I'm using some pins as Inputs and others as outputs,

inputs : PIN_B6, PIN_A2 and PIN_A5
outputs : PIN_B1, PIN_C1 and PIN_D4

The purpose of my program is simple, according to the status of each inputs, I have to activate/deactivate some outputs.

To read the inputs, I'm using two different ways :

-the read of PIN_B6 is done with the RB interruption routine (see the code below, it is working well)
-the read of PIN_A2 & PIN_A5 should be done in the while(true) loop of the main, but, for some reason I don't know, the program enters while(true) in the beginning and never enter again,

Then I can't read the status of PIN_A2 & PIN_A5.

I've put some instructions in the while(true) loop like printf() but never of them was executed.

I've tried my code for real in my microcontroller card and I got the same behaviour of the Proteus/Isis simulator.

What should I do to make the program entering the while() loop ?

Your help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance Wink.

Add more printf statements to show the activitity of your program.
Put in one near the start of main(), to show if the program begins.
Put another one just before the while() loop begins, to show that it
got that far. Put another one at the top of the while() loop, to show
that it executes the loop.
Code:
void main()
{
char cb;

set_tris_a(0x3F);
set_tris_e(0);

printf("Start\n\r");   // *** TESTING ***
.
.
.
printf("Before while\n\r");   // *** TESTING ***
 
while(true)
 {

printf("Top of while\n\r");   // *** TESTING ***

Hi Mr PCM,
thank you very much for your support.
I've add those three instructions, put the new code.hex into my PIC and supply it with power. then hyerterminal showed me
'start'
'Befo' (incomplete)
and then messages from the RB interruption routine (depending on RB6 status).
it's obvious now, the program do not execute the while() loop.

Do some more testing. Disable global interrupts by commenting out
the following line in your code.
Quote:
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);


If it starts working, then debug it by finding out which interrupt is
causing the problem. Re-enable Global interrupts, and comment out the
line that enables INT_RB interrupts. If it now fails, then that's the
problem area to investigate some more.


If you're not sure where the problem is, one method to debug a program
is to comment out certain features or sections of the code, until it starts
working.

The obvious reason for failure, is that there is no handler for 'int_timer1'.....

You must _never_ enable an interrupt, without some provision for handling it....

Hi,
now it's working correctly.:-)
I commented enable timer1 interruption ,in fact, I don't have
to enable it when I use ccp module. thank you very much Ttelmah.
