I was trying to read analog voltage on pin RC3 on PIC16F15325. I have 3.23V across potentiometer and its output is nearly 1.65V which goes to pin RC3 of PIC microcontroller. For configuration and libraries I used MPLAB Code Cofigurator. Code is as follows:
#include "mcc_generated_files/mcc.h"
void main(void)
{
// initialize the device
SYSTEM_Initialize();
EUSART1_Initialize();
ADC_Initialize();
adc_result_t val1 = 0;
// When using interrupts, you need to set the Global and Peripheral Interrupt Enable bits
// Use the following macros to:
// Enable the Global Interrupts
//INTERRUPT_GlobalInterruptEnable();
// Enable the Peripheral Interrupts
//INTERRUPT_PeripheralInterruptEnable();
// Disable the Global Interrupts
//INTERRUPT_GlobalInterruptDisable();
// Disable the Peripheral Interrupts
//INTERRUPT_PeripheralInterruptDisable();
while (1)
{
// Add your application code
val1 = ADC_GetConversion(19); // selected channel RC3
printf("Value - %hu \n",val1);
DELAY_milliseconds(1000);
}
}
For voltage I mentioned above, I expected value near "511". Anything beyond 1023 [i.e. (2^10) - 1] is strange as PIC has 10-bit ADC.However uotput I get is:
Kindly, help me solving this issue.
Actually, output was correct but was looking strange only because of format. Just now I looked into datasheet which said about 2 ways of ADC result formatting.
PIC16(L)F15325/45 Datasheet page-228
and inside ADC_Initialize(); ADCON1 = 0x10 which means ADFM is left shift. I just did val1 = val1 >> 6; after ADC_GetConversion(19); and it worked as expected.

I'm a beginner in this field. My goal is to change the output of 8 LEDs (which are connected to PORTA) according to the potentiometer. I have connected the middle line of the potentiometer to PF0, which is ADC0. I also connected the other two lines to the 5V and ground.
I know there's no problem with the chip or connection because the LEDs are working just fine.
But no matter how I change the code below (what I mean by changing is by slightly changing the ADMUX and ADCSRA registers) no output is shown!
I am using atmega128 with 16MHZ clock. Below is the code that I'm trying to solve.
#include <asf.h>
#include <avr/io.h>
#define F_CPU 16000000L
int init_board(void)
{
DDRA=0xff;
PORTA=0x01;
}
int ADC_init(void)
{
//ADCSRA
ADCSRA = 0b10000111;
//ADMUX
ADMUX = 0b01100000; // middle line connected to ADC0
}
int main (void)
{
init_board();
ADC_init();
ADCSRA |= (ADSC >> 1);
while(1)
{
if(ADSC == 0)
{
uint8_t disp_value = ADCL;
PORTA = disp_value;
delay_ms(200);
ADCSRA |= (ADSC >> 1);
}
}
}
I have no idea why the code doesn't work.
I suppose it's because it didn't set my register correctly, but I've followed all the instructions on the atmega128 datasheet.
First issue is your bit shifting, it should be ADCSRA |= (1 << ADSC).
Next issue is results reading. You set fifth bit of ADMUX to 1, so ADLAR=1 and in that mode result is left adjusted so you should read ADCH.
Moreover when you switch to 10-bit resolution, i.e. you start working with multi-byte results, be aware that reading only ADCL is not enough, see datasheet 23.3 for explanation: "Once ADCL is read, ADC access to data registers is blocked. This means that if ADCL has been read, and a conversion completes before ADCH is read, neither register is updated and the result from the conversion is lost. When ADCH is read, ADC access to the ADCH and ADCL Registers is re-enabled."
Lastly, using hardcoded delays for reading is not good practice especially when you change code later to read ADC as fast as possible. In such case after conversion start you should check if ADIF flag is set or react with interrup when ADEN is set. Refer to datasheet for details.
i have a tiva c micro controller the tm4c123gxl and i have been trying for a while now to use the I2C module on the board with a digital accelrometer with no result , i have been trying to set the MDR register with a certain value to send but it stays as 0
here is the code i am using for intialization till reaching part where i set the MDR register im using step by step debugging i run the code initially to the assignment step of I2C3_MDR_R = 0x2D;
void PortDInit(void)
{
volatile unsigned long delay=0;
SYSCTL_RCGCI2C_R|=0x8; //1-set clock of I2C of module 3
delay = SYSCTL_RCGC2_R; //2-delay to allow clock to stabilize
SYSCTL_RCGC2_R |= 0x00000008; //3-port D clock
delay = SYSCTL_RCGC2_R; //4-delay to allow clock to stabilize
GPIO_PORTD_AFSEL_R |= 0x03; //5-alternate function set for I2C mode
GPIO_PORTD_DEN_R |=0x03; //6-enable digital functionality for PA6 and PA7
GPIO_PORTD_ODR_R|=0x02; //7-enable open drain mode for I2CSDA register of port A
GPIO_PORTD_PCTL_R = 0x00000033; //8-set PCTL to I2C mode
I2C3_MCR_R= 0x00000010; // 9-intialize the i2c master
I2C3_MTPR_R = 0x00000007; // 10-number of system clock cycles in 1 scl period
I2C3_MSA_R = 0x3A // set slave address and read write bit
I2C3_MDR_R = 0x2D; // data to be sent BREAK POINT HERE using single step here yields MDR with same value = 0
I2C3_MCS_R = 0x00000003; // follow transmit condition
while(I2C3_MCS_R &= 0x40 == 1); // wait bus is busy sending data
if(I2C3_MCS_R&=0x04 ==1)
{
//handle error in communication
}
else
{
//success in transmission
}
what i have done to reach this code
carefully understood the I2C protocol how it works etc.
check the data sheet and follow the initalization steps mentioned there step by step which got me to this code
i know i should use tivaware library which will be easier but using
the registers helps me understand more of how everything is working ,
im still a student
at first i didnt have the digital enable line as it wasnt mentioned
to be activated for the I2C but its only logical it should be there
as we are using digital values i tried with both yielded the same
output mdr=0
i am using keil 4 as my IDE and im viewing the values of registers of
I2C module 3 to know whether data is placed in MDR or not
hope any one helps
thanks.
This is a long shot, but here goes:
in your comments, step 6 says
//6-enable digital functionality for PA6 and PA7
but it appears you are working on GPIO_PORTD...
maybe its a comment typo (you meant PD6 and PD7)
but just double check you are looking at the right pins...
Good luck!
So I'm having a problem getting a TI microcontroller to communicate with the Raspberry Pi B+. The exact microcontroller I'm using is the TI cc430f5137. The issue I'm having is that I just can't seem to get the Raspberry Pi to correctly receive the data I'm sending from the MSP430. For those who don't know, the 430 has 2 buffers for this purpose, a RX and TX, which allows the use of the UART module while code is still executing. I've enabled an interrupt for when I receive a byte, and I simply set a flag and send the same byte right back. It works up until I attempt to transmit.
The code sits and waits in an infinite loop until it receives it's first byte. At that point it simply saves the byte and flashes the LED if it's a 'T' (for testing). Upon returning to the loop, it detects that the saved byte has changed, and puts it in the buffer to send it back. Until this point, everything works perfectly. It receives the correct byte every time, letting me know my clocks are perfect, my interrupt is working, and my UART initialization is correct. Where it goes wrong is after sending the byte, it seems like there is some kind of internal loopback (this is an option but I made sure this is not the case) that is causing the interrupt to re-trigger, resulting in an infinite loop of transmitting and again receiving the same byte, but upon invoking this via the Pi I don't get back a loop of the same character, but instead a byte of random garbage that has no consistency or logic behind it. I analyzed the bits to see if the timing is just off and that doesn't seem to be the case. For reference, my Baud is a measly 1200, the voltage of both devices is definitely 3.3v, and I'm sure the Pi is working because when I short the RX and TX, I get back the byte without an issue. I switched to UART because SPI was giving me similar problems, and I can't think of any other protocol besides I2C that would help here. I am using an external 32768hz crystal. Also, I've tried this on two different microcontrollers, so its definitely the code that's the issue.
#include <msp430.h>
char temp;
char in;
int main(void) {
WDTCTL = WDTPW | WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer
P1OUT = 0x00; // Make sure pins are tturned off
P1DIR = 0x01; // Led out
P1SEL |= BIT5 + BIT6; // UART as pin mode
UCSCTL6 &= ~BIT0; // Turn on XT1
P5SEL |= BIT0 + BIT1; // Select XT1 as pin function
UCA0CTL1 |= BIT0; // Set UART to reset mode
UCA0CTL1 |= BIT6; // Choose ACLK as source
UCA0BR0 = 27; // Set speed to 1200 Baud
UCA0MCTL = 0x02 << 1; // Set speed to 1200 Baud
UCA0CTL1 &= ~BIT0; // Turn UART on
UCA0IE = BIT0; // Enable RX interrupt
__enable_interrupt();
while(1)
{
if(in != 0)
{
UCA0TXBUF = in;
temp = in;
in = 0;
}
}
}
#pragma vector=USCI_A0_VECTOR
__interrupt void UCSIA0(void)
{
in = UCA0RXBUF;
if(in == 0x54)
P1OUT ^= BIT0;
}
Output from running minicom at 1200 on Pi, Sending 'T' one at a time:
UÔÿÿïÕuU_þýÿÿÿÿÿÿÕԯÿÿôÕüÿÝUõï\þþÿÿÕ¿ÿÿýýTÿýUÿÿÿïÿÿÿõÿýýÿõûÿ
assuming Pi is working currectly...
1.verify msp430 TX is woring: send every 1 sec known value and see if PI getting it currectly.
2.verify MSP430 RX working: send from Pi known value every 1 sec.
3.interrupt section:
your code dosent verfiy that RX interrupt is off.
you should filter interrupts generated only for the RX .
also, your code dont handle overrun/frame errors.
sharing "in" variable both for TX and RX (and both at interrupt and main loop section)-not good idea..
4.your output example suggests that you have baud rate mismatch issue.
if you send character 'T' and shoud get back 'T'. i expect to see 'TTTTTT...'
BTW this garbage may suggests that you forgot to connecting GND line between two MCUs...
The code is for an AVR atamega168xplained mini board, with an ATmega168pb MCU. The shift register I am using is a Texas Instruments TPIC6C595 I have the drain outputs of the shift register connected to the anodes of 8 LEDs. The OE(G) pin of shift register is tied to GND, and CLR tied to 5V. There is a 100nF ceramic capacitor between shift register VCC and GND. SER OUT is left unconnected to anything since I am trying to bit-bang just this one before I move up to chaining shift registers.
What happens is that I get no output from the shift register, all drain outputs are low (tested with multimeter). When I disconnect the SER IN, SRCK, and RCK from the microcontroller i get some flickering on only one of the LEDs which I guess is a result of those pins floating and being in an undefined state. I would have expected at least to get some kind of garbage output even if the code was wrong, but I get more of an output with the microcontroller completely disconnected. I know it is outputting a signal because I can connect it to the LEDS without the shift register and see they are lit up at various levels of intensity but do not have an oscilloscope to be able to actually look at the signals.
This is the code, with the defines for the output port at the top of the file included so it's clear what's being done:
#define DDR_SREG DDRD
#define PORT_SREG PORTD
#define SRCK _BV(PORTD0)
#define RCK _BV(PORTD1)
#define SER _BV(PORTD2)
void display_write(uint8_t data)
{
char i;
PORT_SREG &= ~RCK; // latch low
for (i = 0; i < 8; ++i) {
PORT_SREG &= ~SRCK; // clock low
if (data & 1) // serial out
PORT_SREG |= SER;
else
PORT_SREG &= ~SER;
PORT_SREG |= SRCK; // clock high
data >>= 1; // shift data
}
PORT_SREG |= RCK; // latch high
}
Solved it. After doing some more research, it was apparent that this shift register has open drain outputs and cannot source current (they can only sink current). Adjusting the wiring accordingly I was able to get the shift register working to my satisfaction.
I'm trying to program a PIC12C508A to do a simple LED learning circuit. I've read some examples, the Microchip Datasheet, pic12c508a.h and pic12c508a.inc. I've tried to set the TRIS register using a C program and an ASM program but it does not take. Using MPLAB X, the XC8 compiler, and the built in simulator to check the SFR registers I can see that the TRIS is not updating even when the WREG holds the correct values. If anyone has experience with this please check out my code and see if I am doing something wrong.
#include <xc.h>
// -- CONFIG
#pragma config MCLRE = ON // RA5/MCLR/VPP Pin Function Select bit (RA5/MCLR/VPP pin function is digital input, MCLR internally tied to VDD)
#pragma config WDT = OFF // Turn Watchdog Timer Off.
#pragma config CP = OFF // Flash Program Memory Code Protection bit (Code protection off)
#pragma config OSC = IntRC // Internal RC Oscillator
// -- Internal Frequency
#define _XTAL_FREQ 400000
int main()
{
TRIS = 0b111010; // 0x3A
//---0-0 Set GP0 and GP2 as outputs
GPIO = 0b000100; // 0x04
//---1-0 Set GP2 as HIGH and GP0 as LOW
for(int countdown = 10; countdown > 0; --countdown) {
__delay_ms(60000); // Delay 1 minute.
}
GPIO = 0b000001; // 0x01
//---0-1 Set GP2 as LOW and GP0 as HIGH
while(1)
NOP();
}
I also tried it an assembly which is pretty much identical to the Gooligum tutorials for baseline PIC models.
list p=12c508a
#include <p12c508a.inc>
__CONFIG _MCLRE_ON & _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _IntRC_OSC
RCCAL CODE 0x0FF ; Processor Reset Vector
res 1 ; Hold internal RC cal value, as a movlw k
RESET CODE 0x000 ; RESET VECTOR

movlw b'111010' ; Configure GP0/GP2 as outputs
tris GPIO ;
movlw b'000100' ; Set GP2 HIGH - GREEN LED

goto $ ; loop forever
END
This all seems pretty straight forward but when I use breakpoints and examine the SFR registers in the simulator I can see that the GPIO and TRIS registers never are changed even though the WREG will hold the correct values. I've examined the ASM output that the XC8 compiler generates and it is almost identical to the ASM I wrote when it comes to setting the registers.
I've also tried using HEX values and straight integer values and the results are the same.
The answer is that the crystal frequency defined at the top of the program was way beyond the real actual value
#define _XTAL_FREQ 400000 //that's 400KHz INTOSC, impossible
Instead it should be
#define _XTAL_FREQ 4000000 //That's 4MHz INTOSC
#Justin pointed it out in the comment below it's original post.
First, in order to use GP2 as an output, do you need to clear the T0CS in the OPTION register ?
Second, I observe this in the manual:
Note: A read of the ports reads the pins, not the output data latches.
That is, if an output driver on a pin is enabled and driven high, but
the external system is holding it low, a read of the port will
indicate that the pin is low.
but I guess the simulator will assume the external system is not holding down the pin.
Third, BCF and BSF instructions look like a better way of waggling GP2 and GP0 independent of whatever else is going on in the GPIO.
I'm sorry, but other than that I don't know what to suggest.
You can try different GPIO, because according to the documentation, GP2 may be controlled by the option register.
