| RTCC alarm problem with PIC18F67k22 |
 Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 4:47 am |

|
Hello
I'm using PIC18F67K22 with internal OSC 4MHz and CCS compiler ver
4.130. I have the RTCC clock selection used with (SOSC0 & SOSC1)
via crystal 32.768kHz.
I have a simple test program where I set the alarm for 10secs
and then wait to see if my LED will flash after 10secs. The process
then repeats itself as per my program.
However, I can not achieve this since my LED is not flashing
at will with the RTCC alarm. On its own, the LED does flash and i can
even set the flashing rate to any rate that i desire.
Please can someone help and suggest where i'm wrong in my code
below and how to achieve RTCC alarm.
Thanks
Haseeb

#include <18F67K22.h>
#fuses INTRC_IO, NOWDT, NOBROWNOUT, MCLR
// Set Speed to 4Mhz
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#include <stdio.h>
int alarm_flag = 0;
#int_RTC
void RTC_isr(void)
{
alarm_flag = 1; //raise flag once 10secs lapse
}
void main(void)
{
delay_ms(500); //startup delay
enable_interrupts(INT_RTC); //enable RTC interrupts
setup_rtc(RTC_ENABLE); //enable RTC
while(true) //loop forever
{
setup_rtc_alarm(RTC_ALARM_ENABLE, RTC_ALARM_10_SECONDS, 0x08); //initiallize 10 sec alarm
while(alarm_flag == 0); //stay here until 10sec alarm
alarm_flag = 0; //reset flag
//flash to indicate 10sec alarm
output_high(pin_B4);
delay_ms(200);
output_low(pin_B4);
delay_ms(200);
output_high(pin_B4);
delay_ms(200);
output_low(pin_B4);
delay_ms(200);
}
}

Try changing
| Code: |
enable_interrupts(INT_RTC); //enable RTC interrupts
|
| Code: |
enable_interrupts(INT_RTC); //enable RTC interrupts
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL); //enable interrupts
|
If it gives a compiler error, look in the .h file for which "global" define is correct. |

Hi
I have just done that and enabled GLOBAL interrupts as well.
Compiler gives NO error. But still my LED will not flash via
alarm....
please help...

Haseeb, this is a user forum, not CCS, so everyone may not be looking at
the forum right now. It may take a while before someone with the specific
knowledge you need gets a chance to check in. You have to be patient. If
you let your project get down to the deadline that is your problem...not one
that we caused.

I don't see you enabling the secondary oscillator. This is needed for the RTC to run. SOSC_LOW, and RTCOSC_T1 in the fuses, and setup_timer_1(T1_ENABLE_SOSC); in the code
I think it is probably defaulting to T1, but this is not enabled, so it doesn't run.
The T1 setting controls whether the secondary oscillator runs or not.

Hi
I have just tried your suggestion and still the RTC is not working.
No interrupt occur and my LED does not flash.
please help!

| Post your updated code (or just update the code in your first post and let us know), so we can see that changes got in there as it was suggested. |

| Code: | | while(alarm_flag == 0); //stay here until 10sec alarm |
Syntax...
take the Semi colon out, and add brackets.
| Code: | | while(alarm_flag == 0){} //stay here until 10sec alarm |

This is not needed.
In C, an 'if', executes the single code block after the command.
A line terminated with ';' is a code block, as are multiple lines contained in '{}' braces.
The original is syntactically perfectly OK.

Hello people
I have tried all that you have suggested and i have even tried out
the RTCC example program as below and it compiles and the output
is as below....HOWEVER....the clock does not seem to tick at all as the
seconds do not increment.
I have disabled the alarm and now its only the clock that i want to
get up and running.
Please can someone help....

Hello People...
I have finally been able to get both the clock ticking and the alarm interrupts working as well. A change of crystal solved the problem.
However I can only get alarm interrupts for half second and one second only.
Please can you let me know why I cannot get higher delays with my alarm interrupts. Ideally I want this to be for 1 hour alarm setting.
But I tried to progress to that stage and found I could only do up to 1second complete.
Below is how I set the alarm configurations as per the PIC header file…
| Code: |
//setup_rtc_alarm(RTC_ALARM_ENABLE, RTC_ALARM_HALFSECOND, 0); //WORKS
//setup_rtc_alarm(RTC_ALARM_ENABLE, RTC_ALARM_SECOND, 0); //WORKS
//setup_rtc_alarm(RTC_ALARM_ENABLE, RTC_ALARM_10_SECONDS, 0); //DOES NOT WORK!!
setup_rtc_alarm(RTC_ALARM_ENABLE, RTC_ALARM_10_MINUTES, 0); //DOES NOT WORK!!
|
This clearly reflects a software issue.
Please can you look at my program below and kindly suggest.
Thanks
