led blink problem?
PostPosted: Mon May 15, 2006 9:56 am     Reply with quote

Code:

#include<18F458.h>
#fuses   NOWDT,HS,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT,PUT,NOCPD,NOSTVREN,NODEBUG,NOWRT
#use  delay(clock=8000000)
void main()
{
int16 temp;
int8 i;
for(i=1;i<10;i++)
   {
   output_high(PIN_D5);
   delay_ms(300);
   output_low(PIN_D5);   
   delay_ms(300);   
   }
}


I want led on PIN_D5 blink with cycle of 300 ms. But they blink not in the same. and more than 10 times. I don't know why? How can i fixed this problem?

You have no 'loop' at the end of 'main'. After the 10 flashes the PIC will go into sleep mode !!

try:

Code:
#include<18F458.h>
#fuses   NOWDT,HS,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT,PUT,NOCPD,NOSTVREN,NODEBUG,NOWRT
#use  delay(clock=8000000)
void main()
{
   while(1)
   {
      output_high(PIN_D5);
      delay_ms(300);
      output_low(PIN_D5);   
      delay_ms(300);   
   }
}


If you don't just want it to keep flashing, you need to tell us what it is SUPPOSED to do rather than telling us what it IS doing !!! We can see from the code what it WILL do.

The code is only 7 lines long ... you should be able to work this one out for yourself.

I'd 'suspect', that the most likely fault, is a hardware problem. How is the LED wired?. What current limiting resistor is used on the D5 connection?. How is the processor powered?. What supression components ar present?. How is MCLR connected?. Are both pairs of power and ground connections made?.
The code as posted, should blink the LED 9 times (not ten), and the period should be almost perfect (bar a couple of uSec for the actual loop), and then the code will stop (hitting the hidden sleep). However I'd suspect something silly, like a glitch on the power rail, when the LED turns on, so that the chip then resets, giving continuous flashes, but of a short duration.

You have asked this question before ....

Original Question

... I suspect you need to read the answer again !!!

Maybe something wrong in configuration bit. This is very simple code, i'm newbie use PIC18F458. I want a Led blink with cycle of 500ms. But i can;t see it blink.

Helpme pls, i don't have much time with simple ..things.

You have no while(1) statement.
Code:

#include<18F458.h>
#fuses   NOWDT,HS,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT,PUT,NOCPD,NOSTVREN,NODEBUG,NOWRT
#use  delay(clock=8000000)
void main()
{
  int16 temp;
  int8 i;
  for(i=0;i<10;i++)
  {
    output_high(PIN_D5);
    delay_ms(300);
    output_low(PIN_D5);   
    delay_ms(300);   
  }
  while(1)
  {
  }
}

I have test some connection on my circuit board
+ MCLR --> OK
+ Both power supply-->OK
+ Resistor connected with LED 330 ohm
+ Crystal -> HS

When I measure PIN OSC1,OSC2( Pin13,14) there is no pulse or wave althought righ connection.

Have you ever met this problem!!

Measure the output of the LED. If it is blinking, then the crystal must be doing something.

Try setting the Tris regisiters otherwise the pins may remain in high impedance state if your compiler doesn't automatically set the Tris regisiters .

Code:

#include<18F458.h>
#fuses   NOWDT,HS,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT,PUT,NOCPD,NOSTVREN,NODEBUG,NOWRT
#use  delay(clock=8000000)
void main()
{
  int16 temp; //<<-- Must be for something else
  unsigned int8 i;
  SET_TRIS_D(223); //11011111 RD5 as output  <<-- see if this helps
     for(i=0;i<20;i++)
      {
        output_toggle(PIN_D5);
        delay_ms(300);   
      }

//The PIC will now sleep

}
