| interrupts causes chip to freeze after intput() command |

using pic18f452 and a program i wrote worked fine, until i add an INPUT(PIN) command. Main code runs basically like:
| Code: |
#interruptcodehere
{}
while(1)
{
if(Input(pin_b4)
...
}
|
The code seems to work fine when it starts up, but when an interrupt is fired (either data from serial port or button being pressed) the pic refuses to respond to anything else. The interrupts work fine with the Input() code commented out. All I am trying to accomplish is to run some code when the pin is high. It has no effect on the interrupts and is seperate from all the other code. Anyone know why the interrupts don't like this command? Also, when I run this program I check the input() returned value in a serial port monitor and it does work. |

You said it may be the serial, did you put the the errors into yout #use rs232 statement?
ie.
#use rs232(errors,baud=56000,parity=N,ENABLE=PIN_C5,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8)
If there is an error it can cause the PIC to freeze up
good luck |

errors is in the #use command
it locks up with ANY interrupt not just serial ints  |

Post a small test program, because I don't understand the code
fragments and pseudo-code that you've posted. Make the test
program be very small, and post all the #fuses, #include and #use
statements. |

while(1)
{
if(Input(pin_b4) <=====
...
}

Where's the closing brace on the if line?

that just shows the basic flow of the code and i didn't check it for perfect 'grammar'
the real code has the parenthesis, it compiles only with the infinite loop warning |

It doesn't sound like a known bug. Most likely it is a programming error, maybe something as simple as an extra colon in the while statement (I allways have to be carefull with that one).
As PCM already told you, without you showing us some actual code we can't help you any further. |

| Don't know if this applies or not, but if you enable any interrupt without having a handler for it as well, that will lock up the PIC too. |

Especially if you enable an interrupt and use the wrong interrupt handler, or put the noclear flag in and do not clear the interrupt. |
