Port D as Input problem
PostPosted: Wed May 19, 2010 6:30 pm     Reply with quote

Hi,

I need help seting up the port D as an input for a PIC18F44J11. I have configure the port with the following code:
Code:

#use FAST_IO(D)
#byte PORTD = 0xf83
set_tris_d(ALL_IN);
port_d_pullups(TRUE);

it compiles without any trouble, but when I try to read the port I do not get the value that setup in the pins.

Thank you.

1. How are you setting up the value on the pins ? What external circuits
provide the values ? What are the voltage levels on the pins ?

2. How are you testing this ? How do you know it fails ?

3. Post a short but complete test program (that is compilable)
that demonstrates the problem.

4. Is this a Proteus project ? Or is done on a hardware board ?

5. What is your CCS compiler version ?

It has a 8 bit DIP switch connected to the port, one side to ground and the other to the port pins, no other hardware.

I have tested several options, but the most conclusive ones are a) checking the contents of the PORTD and LATD register with the debugger (PCWH compiler from CCS), b) comparing the value of the read and branching to a different location if it matches (the circuit has two different LED's that light according to the branch.

It is a hardware board, and other than not reading port D, everything else is working.

Your problem (other than not using code tags) may well be that as soon as you have read the port and turned on the output the pic goes to sleep and turns it off again Smile

address = ~PORTD;

if(address > 0x7f) {
output_high(CTB_LED);
}
else {
output_high(COMM_LED);
}

Put

while(true);

at the end to stop it from going to sleep.

better still, encase the main routine around a loop
Code:

while(true)
{
  address = ~PORTD;

  if(address > 0x7f) {
    output_high(CTB_LED);
    output_low(COMM_LED);
  }
  else {
    output_lowCTB_LED);
    output_high(COMM_LED);
  }
}

BTW, I have five samples of the hardware and all behave the same way.

4.107

I tried to compile your latest code with vs. 4.107 and I get this error:
Quote:

*** Error 12 "PCH_Test.c" Line 56(20,21): Undefined identifier -- port_d_pullups

So how can you test this program if it doesn't compile ?

In the CCS compiler go to "Tools", "Device Editor", select PIC18F44J11 in the "MCU Part" list. Then go to "Other Features", and from the drop-down list of "Pullups" select B,D,E.

I don't have that version of the compiler. I only have the command line
version.

Since you added this feature to the compiler, how do we know that it's
generating the correct ASM code to do it ?

Compile this little test program and post the .LST file code that it
generates. Make sure the .LST file is in "CCS format", so it shows
the numerical register addresses. Don't use "Symbolic" format.
Code:

#include <18F44J11.h>     
#Fuses HS, NOWDT, NOPROTECT
#use delay(clock=7372800) 

#use FAST_IO(D)
#byte PORTD = 0xf83

#define ALL_IN  0xff   

//============================
void main(void)
{
int8 address;

set_tris_d(ALL_IN);
port_d_pullups(TRUE);
address = ~PORTD;

while(1);
}

As I suspected, this address is incorrect. The RDPU pull-up bit is in the
PortE register, and it's address is 0xF84. The compiler is using the wrong
register address.

To fix this problem, go back into the Device Editor and undo the changes
that you did. Disable PortD pullups. Then add the lines shown in bold
below to your program. Now the port_d_pullups() function will work.

#use FAST_IO(D)
#byte PORTD = 0xf83

#define ALL_IN 0xff

#byte PORTE = 0xF84
#bit RDPU = PORTE.7
#define port_d_pullups(x) RDPU=x

//============================
void main(void)
{
int8 address;

set_tris_d(ALL_IN);
port_d_pullups(TRUE);

address = ~PORTD;

Now is working, thank you PCM programmer.

I hope CCS is monitoring the forum and will fix the entry for the corresponding IC.

They don't. You can write a detailed email report to them.

1. Tell them the PIC, 18F44J11 and your compiler version.

2. Explain how you had to add port_d_pullups() using the Device Editor,
when it should be already supported.

3. Explain how when you did add it, the compiler used the wrong register
address.

If you don't want to email them, let me know and I'll do it.
