Simple C problem - Pls take a look !
PostPosted: Sat Jan 24, 2009 1:21 pm     Reply with quote

Hello 2 all !

Using pic18f452 @ 10 MHz and CCS C compiler vesrion 4.057 , i'm trying to achieve the following behaviour :
- after 4 ms have passed, pin e1 is low for 1 ms, high for 1ms, still high for 1 ms, low for 1ms.

This behaviour should be repeated once every 4 ms.

Here is the code :

Code:


#include <18f452.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=10000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)

//=======================================
char gc_SLAVE_timer;
char gc_ZERO_timer;
char gc_ONE_timer;
char count0,count1,i,flag0,flag1;
short start0, start1;
//=======================================
#define SLAVE_TIMER_TICKS                   4     // 4 ms
#define ZERO_TIMER_TICKS                  1     // 1 ms
#define ONE_TIMER_TICKS                  1     // 1 ms

//=======================================
#define RTCC_PRELOAD 246

//=======================================
//#use fast_io(b)                           


//======================ISR INTRERUPERE TIMER0=================================
#int_rtcc
void rtcc_isr(void)
{
// Reload the RTCC, so it will keep overflowing every 10 ms.
set_rtcc(RTCC_PRELOAD);

// Decrement any timers that are running.

if(gc_SLAVE_timer)
   gc_SLAVE_timer--;
   
if(gc_ZERO_timer)
   gc_ZERO_timer--;

if(gc_ONE_timer)
   gc_ONE_timer--;



}
//=============================PREZENTA SLAVE==================================
void check_SLAVE()
{

if(gc_SLAVE_timer)
   {
   return;
   }
else
 {
   gc_SLAVE_timer  = SLAVE_TIMER_TICKS;
   start0=true;
   start1=true;
   count0=0;
   count1=0;
 
}   
}
//=============================================================================
void check_ZERO()
{
while (start0)
{

if(gc_ZERO_timer )
   {
   return;
   }
else
 {

   gc_ZERO_timer  = ZERO_TIMER_TICKS;
   count0++;
   if ((count0%2==1)&& (count0<3))
   output_high(pin_e1);
   else
   output_low(pin_e1);
 }
}   
}

//==========================================
void check_ONE()
{
while (start1)
{

if(gc_ONE_timer )
   {
   return;
   }
else
 {
   gc_ONE_timer  = ONE_TIMER_TICKS;
   count1++;
   if ((count1%2==1)&& (count1<3))   
   output_low(pin_e1);
   else
   output_high(pin_e1);
 }
}   
}

//=============================================================================
void main()
{
gc_SLAVE_timer = SLAVE_TIMER_TICKS;
gc_ZERO_timer = ZERO_TIMER_TICKS;
gc_ONE_timer = ONE_TIMER_TICKS;

   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_256|RTCC_8_BIT);
   set_timer0(RTCC_PRELOAD);
   enable_interrupts(INT_RTCC);
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
start0=false;
start1=false;
while(1)
  {
    check_SLAVE();
  for(i=0; i<2; i++)
     {
     if (i%2==1)
        check_ZERO();
     else
        check_ONE();
     }
  }
}



Thank you all !

You just want a continious loop for this? why are you not using

delay_ms(1000); //delay for 1 ms.

and

output_high( PIN_E1);// high PIN_E1

commands to do the job? It is far less complicated that way.

Hello !

This is a state machine. Every 4 ms i have to do this action. For the rest of the time, i've got do to other things ?

Is there a way to do this ?

Thank you for your interest !!

If your output is low for 1ms, high for 1ms, high for 1ms, low for 1ms, and that cycle repeats, then that's just a repeating cycle of low for 2ms, high for 2ms!

If you have timer 2 free, that is easy to do using the PWM module.

Lookup the CCS help for setup_ccp1() and set_pwm1_duty().

Once you set it up it just runs by itself and your code can do whatever other processing you need. You can reconfigure the settings at any time, to turn it off, tweak the duty cycle, period, etc.

"It's a state machine"

You said it: it's a state machine. Here's a rough summary of what I'd do in your timer ISR. Set your timer to overflow every 1 ms.

Code:

static int state = 0; // only in ISR, init to zero
state++;
state %= 4; // easy since the total number of states is a power of two
switch (state)
{
   default: // catch any errors and force valid
      state = 0;
      /*fallthru*/
   case 0:
      state = 1;
      output_high(PIN_E1);
      break;
   case 1:
      state = 2;
      output_high(PIN_E1);
      break;
   case 2:
      state = 3;
      output_low(PIN_E1);
      break;
   case 3:
      state = 0;
      output_low(PIN_E1);
      break;
}

Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler, eh?

I agree with the state machine approach, but you've incremented the state twice, once before the switch{} statement and again in each of the cases.
