Servo motor controller
PostPosted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 6:46 pm     Reply with quote

Hi everyone,
I have to control a servomotor with two buttons, one to turn right and the the other to turn left. I'm using 18f2550. I began programming but it doesn't work, would you help me plz. This is my work:
Code:

#if defined(__PCH__)
#include <18f2550.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT
#use delay(clock=20000000)

#define TIME 4
#define AV 40
#define AR 20
#define STOP 30
#define PORT_sevo1 PIN_B0

#use fast_io(a)
#use fast_io(c)

//declaration des bouttons poussoirs
#define RA0 Pin_A0
#define RA1 Pin_A1

#define WDT_18MS 360
#endif

int16 compteur1;
int compteur2,sens_servo1;
int1 signal;

#int_rtcc
void main_int(){
set_timer0(TIME);
if(++compteur1==360){
  compteur1=0;
  compteur2=0;
  signal=1;
  output_high(PORT_sevo1);
}
else{
  if(signal==1){
  if(compteur2++ == sens_servo1){
    signal=0;
    output_low(PORT_sevo1);
  }
}
}

}

void init_timer()
{
set_timer0(TIME);
setup_counters( RTCC_INTERNAL, RTCC_DIV_2 | RTCC_8_BIT);
enable_interrupts(INT_RTCC);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
}


void main() {

sens_servo1 = STOP;

init_timer();

set_tris_a(0x0f);
set_tris_c(0x0f);
setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);

while (true)
{
if((input(Pin_A0)==0)){
  sens_servo1=AV;
}

if((input(Pin_A1)==0)){
  sens_servo1=AR;
 }
}
}

If you are using a hobby servo (for R/C control), you can use the
CCS driver file, servos.c. Here's an example program which uses it:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34560&start=22

Your code is looking for a logic low level (0) when you press the switches.
Do you have pull-up resistors on the input pins for switches ? You need
them. You can use 4.7K resistors.

Thanks for your answer, but i need more help, this is my dns file, will you plz help me how can i control the push buttons, what condition will i use?

Is this false?
Code:

while (true)
{
if((input(Pin_A0)==0)){
  sens_servo1=AV;
}

if((input(Pin_A1)==0)){
  sens_servo1=AR;
 }
}

Looks like another Proteus simulation....

First you have to get the hardware correct....

1) you show two grounds !
a) Earth...switches and servo tied to it.
b) Signal... 100r and servo and _mclr.

2) xtal resistor not required

3) unknown crystal value

4) no decoupling between servo and PIC

5) PIC is unpowered( no +5 , grounds)

6) no filtering on servo power supply

7) no .1 caps at PIC power pins

8) _MCLR tied low, PIC never runs

9) SW AR_SERVO1 appears to be N/C not N/O like other switch

10) Servo signal lines not labeled

there, that's a start...

I'm sorry, but its still not very clear. Can you give me a simple example of controlling a servo motor with 2 pushbuttons because i still have to work for controlling 5 others. Thank you Embarassed

Here is a sample push-button program to control the servo speed.
It has two buttons, for forward and reverse. In the test results below,
I pressed the forward button several times, so the speed goes up from
0 to 4, and then when I keep on pressing it, the speed stays at the top
limit of 4.
Then I pressed the Reverse button several times and it took the speed
down to 0, and I kept pressing it until the speed went down to the lower
limit of -4, and then I pressed it some more but it stays at the lower limit.

This is just the push-button code. You will have to add the servo control
code.

This output was displayed in a Terminal window (TeraTerm) on a PC:

Here's the program. The button.c code is at the following link:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23837
Code:

#include <18F4520.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4M)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

// These are the "Bvar" variables.
int8 A4 = 0;   // For the push-button on pin A4
int8 B0 = 0;   // For the push-button on pin B0
#include <button.c>

#define MAX_FORWARD_SPEED 4
#define MAX_REVERSE_SPEED -4

//======================================
void main(void)
{
signed int8 speed; 

speed = 0;

while(1)
  {
   // Push the button on pin B0 to increase the forward speed.   
   if(button(PIN_B0, 0, 50, 10, B0, 1))
     {
      if(speed < MAX_FORWARD_SPEED)
         speed++;

      printf("%d\n\r", speed);
     }

   // Push the button on pin A4 to reduce forward speed or
   // to go into reverse, and increase the reverse speed.   
   if(button(PIN_A4, 0, 50, 10, A4, 1))
     {     
      if(speed > MAX_REVERSE_SPEED)
         speed--;

      printf("%d\n\r", speed);
     }


   delay_ms(10); // button() needs a 10ms loop delay
  }

 
}
