Using the delay_ms function / oscillator configuration
PostPosted: Thu May 06, 2010 9:55 am     Reply with quote

Hi,

I'm using a PIC18F4580 and using its internal 8Mhz oscillator.

As far as I know the delay_ms function will create a delay in milliseconds of the parameter you give to it. But it seems that this is not working in my code or at least working at a much greater rate than it should - when I use the function it seems as if there is no delay at all!

I have the following code in my main.c file:
Code:
#include "main.h"

void main()
{
   output_high(PIN_B2);
   output_low(PIN_B3);
 
   while(TRUE)
   {
         delay_ms(1000);
         output_toggle(PIN_B3);
         delay_ms(1000);
         output_toggle(PIN_B2);
   }

In my main.h file I have:
Code:
#include <18F4580.h>

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES INTRC_IO                 //Internal RC Osc, no CLKOUT
#FUSES NOPROTECT                //Code not protected from reading
#FUSES BROWNOUT                 //Reset when brownout detected
#FUSES BORV21                   //Brownout reset at 2.1V
#FUSES NOPUT                    //No Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOCPD                    //No EE protection
#FUSES STVREN                   //Stack full/underflow will cause reset
#FUSES NODEBUG                  //No Debug mode for ICD
#FUSES LVP                      //Low Voltage Programming on B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18)
#FUSES NOWRT                    //Program memory not write protected
#FUSES NOWRTD                   //Data EEPROM not write protected
#FUSES NOIESO                   //Internal External Switch Over mode disabled
#FUSES FCMEN                    //Fail-safe clock monitor enabled
#FUSES BBSIZ2K                  //2K words Boot Block size
#FUSES NOWRTC                   //configuration not registers write protected
#FUSES NOWRTB                   //Boot block not write protected
#FUSES NOEBTR                   //Memory not protected from table reads
#FUSES NOEBTRB                  //Boot block not protected from table reads
#FUSES NOCPB                    //No Boot Block code protection
#FUSES LPT1OSC                  //Timer1 configured for low-power operation
#FUSES MCLR                     //Master Clear pin enabled
#FUSES XINST                    //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode enabled

#use delay(clock=8000000)

I have LED outputs connected to B2 and B3. When I run this code they should blink alternately but so far one just stays lit all the time and the other does not light.

Have I got my program configured correctly to use the internal oscillator for this chip?
And if so, why is the delay_ms function not working as it should?

Thanks

Change XINST, to NOXINST. CCS does not support XINST.
Have you got a pull up on MCLR.
Have you got a pull down on the PGM pin. You have LVP selected, if this is wanted (it rarely is....), you _must_ ensure the PGM pin is pulled down, when you want to run the chip.

Thanks,

Changing to NOXINST and removing LVP fixed it!
