Input PIN from RF Receiver - PIC16F628A
PostPosted: Fri Feb 02, 2007 5:23 pm     Reply with quote

Ok, I'm using PIC16F628A and I have a 315Mhz Receiver.

I now have my chip setup to where I can output data thru my serial port with the Max232, works great. I want to be able to change the output based on PIN_B4.

What I was trying to do was take the hot 5 volts and just tap it onto PIN_B4 a few times to see if I can get something besides a hyphen to print to my computer. However what happens is it just stops my chip for about 3 seconds and then it just reboots.

I have a 315Mhz Receiver for picking up RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) and my RKE sends a series of bits 10101001010101111101100101010101 as a code. what I planned on doing was just if it was "high" I would print a 1, if it was low I would print a zero. and just see if I was able to read what my RKE was sending out.

Does anyone know why my chip reboots when I hook up the 5V to PIN_B4; also is my: set_tris_b(0x00010010); //B1,B4 = Input, else Output.. correct? I'm very new to Microchip programming.

Code:

#include "16F628A.h"
#fuses INTRC_IO, PUT, MCLR, WDT, NOPROTECT
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_B2, rcv=PIN_B1)

void main()
{
   
   setup_wdt(WDT_2304MS);
   set_uart_speed(9600);
   set_tris_b(0x00010010); //B1,B4 = Input, else Output..
   output_high(PIN_B5);
   printf("-RESTART-");
   while(TRUE)
   {
      printf("-");
      printf(input(PIN_B4));
      delay_ms(10);
      restart_wdt();
   }
}


edit: what does: input(PIN_B4); return? what data type?

The default state for pin B4 is to be the PGM pin. See the pinout
in the 16F628A data sheet. If that pin goes to a logic level, the
PIC will go into Low Voltage Programming mode. It will lock up.

Solution:
Add NOLVP to your #fuses statement.

Do this in all of your programs. (Not every PIC supports LVP mode,
but a lot of them do, and it's essential to use NOLVP).


Also, you don't have to set the TRIS. Just use standard i/o mode.
Then the compiler takes care of setting the TRIS for you, if you use
CCS i/o functions (which you are doing). Standard i/o mode is the
default mode of the compiler. You don't have to specify it.
In other words, delete the set_tris_b() statement.
