Help with a stuck IO Pin
PostPosted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 6:41 am     Reply with quote

Hi

I'm using the 16F818 with Compiler version 3.217.

My problem always arises when I try to use pin B3 as an output, it won't change state when programmed. Until now I have got around this by switching to another spare pin which has worked fine. When programmed to go high the pin always stays low and won't alter state at all.

I aways program all pins to a known state at powerup (usually all low) by using the standard output_low (Pin_B0) through to pin B7 command. All other pins will switch to high when programmed to using the standard output_high(Pin_B0) command except for pin B3

I now have an application coming up that needs all pins as outputs so I need to overcome this problem.

Has anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

thanks in advance

Without knowing your code it is difficult to help you, so I just can guess something like
Pin_B3 is usually shared with the ICSP as enable pin.
Does your code has the directive #ICD=TRUE ?

No I don't use the ICD here's a simple program that I used earlier today to test it out you will see I switched the redled output to Pin B0 from B3 to get it to work.

Code:

#include <touch.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//Lithium Ion charger
//Revision 1.0
//written on compiler version 3.217
//tested on compiler version 3.217

#define timer 210
#define vconnect 452
#define vmin 258   //minimum battery voltage 10V 
#define imin 63    //switch over current from hi V to lo V
#define ledred (Pin_B0)
#define ledgreen (Pin_B2)
#define onoff (Pin_B6)


long int vbatt,ibatt,minute;
long tick;

void RedLedFlash()

   output_high ledred;
   delay_ms(200);
   output_low ledred;
   delay_ms(200);
}

void Reset()
{
   Output_low onoff;
   Output_low ledred;
   Output_low ledgreen;
   vbatt=0,ibatt,minute=0,tick=0;
}

#int_RTCC
void RTCC_isr()
{
   tick++;
      if(tick == 15000)
         {
            minute++;
            tick=0;
         }
}

void main()
 {
   setup_adc_ports(ALL_ANALOG);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);
   setup_counters(RTCC_INTERNAL,RTCC_DIV_16);
   goto start;

charged:         
   set_adc_channel(0);                  
   output_low onoff;    //switch charger off
   output_high ledgreen; //change led to show charged
   output_low ledred;
   disable_interrupts(global);

   do
   {
   vbatt = read_adc();
   delay_ms(500);
   }
   while(vbatt > vmin);

start:
   Reset();

   do               //test for battery connected
   {
      set_adc_channel(0);           
      delay_us(100);
      vbatt = read_adc();
     RedLedFlash();
   }
   while (vbatt < vmin);

   output_high onoff;   //switch charger on and indicate charging
   output_high ledred;
   enable_interrupts(global);

 do                  //loop until battery disconnected or charged            
{
   delay_ms(1000);
   vbatt = read_adc();
    if (vbatt >= vconnect) goto charged;
   
   set_adc_channel(2);
   delay_ms(500);
   ibatt = read_adc();
   
    if(ibatt < imin) goto charged;
   if(minute > timer)goto charged;
   set_adc_channel(0);
   
}
 while (1); 
  }

Look at your #FUSES statement.
Change LVP to NOLVP.
