Need help on keypad and RFID door lock
PostPosted: Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:27 am     Reply with quote

Hi, I'm currently doing my project on Keypad & RFID door lock. I tried to do coding testing for keypad and run in Proteus, but I couldn't get the desired output on lcd... here's my coding. Can anyone help me, did I miss anything?
Code:

#include <18F4550.h>                  // PIC18F4550 HEADER FILE
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOLVP,NOPROTECT       // EXTERNAL CLOCK, NO WATCH DOG TIMER
#use delay (clock =4M)                // 4 MHZ CRYSTAL
#include <flex_lcd.c>                      // LCD DISPLAY HEADER FILE
#include <Flex_KBD.c>                      // KEYPAD HEADER FILE

//FUNCTION PROTOTYPE
void keyboard(char);

//GLOBAL VARIABLE
unsigned char lcd_count=0;
unsigned char init;
char k;

void main()
{
lcd_init();                                // INITIALIZE LCD
kbd_init();                                // INITIALIZE KEYPAD

while(TRUE)                                // always repeat the program below
{
k=kbd_getc();
keyboard(k);

if(!input(PIN_C0))                        // CLEAR SCREEN
{
   lcd_putc("\f");
}
}
}

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

void Keyboard(char l)
{
   if(l=='1')                             //value 1
   {
   if(init==0)lcd_putc("\f");             //if init is clear,clear the lcd
      lcd_putc("1");                     
      lcd_count+=1;                       //increase lcd_count by 1
      init=1;
   }
   
   else if(l=='2')                        //value 2
   {
   if(init==0)lcd_putc("\f");             //if init is clear,clear the lcd
      lcd_putc("2");                     
      lcd_count+=1;                       //increase lcd_count by 1
      init=1;
   }
   
   else if(l=='3')                        //value 3
   {
   if(init==0)lcd_putc("\f");             //if init is clear,clear the lcd
      lcd_putc("3");                     
      lcd_count+=1;                       //increase lcd_count by 1
      init=1;
   }
   
   else if(l=='4')                        //value 4
   {
   if(init==0)lcd_putc("\f");             //if init is clear,clear the lcd
      lcd_putc("4");                     
      lcd_count+=1;                       //increase lcd_count by 1
      init=1;
   }
   
   else if(l=='5')                        //value 5
   {
   if(init==0)lcd_putc("\f");             //if init is clear,clear the lcd
      lcd_putc("5");                     
      lcd_count+=1;                       //increase lcd_count by 1

      lcd_count+=1;                       //increase lcd_count by 1
      init=1;
   }

Based on others experiences, I would not even bother to load Proteus on my machine - seems like they spend more time debugging it than the actual program.

As for your code, I think I would first suggest considering the "switch" statement instead of a whole pile of if .. else statements. See the section on "Statements" near the front of the compiler manual (well, at least in mine, it is on page 31).

Biggest 'miss' is in believing that Proteus actually works !

You couldn't pay me to waste my time trying to use Proteus. It is FULL of bugs,errors, faulty DRCs, the list is endless.

Unless you want( and have the skills) to disassemble Proteus, locate and correct 100s of errors ,just delete it from your PC.It came off my PCs in less than an hour.

If this is a 'student' project and the teacher say you must Proteus, have him correct all the errors and bad DRCs, confirming his version works.

Honestly, if you want a WORKING simulator, cut your own simulator.
Better yet, get a real PIC,white breadboard and experiment in the real world.Get real hands on knowledge of how the PIC works. Yeesh, they only basically have 35 instructions, the compiler makes it easy to create high level code,NOTHING is 'hidden'. You have full access to both source and listings,just take the time to read,program,read more,try again.

Hi,

This post is a great example of a type that is becoming increasingly prevalent here on the forum - essentially a "code dump" followed by a statement along the lines of "this code doesn't work, why not?"

Well, how are we supposed to know???

If you don't tell us what you expect, very few people are going to take the time to try to figure out the desired operation of your program.

If you don't tell us what you observe, very few people are going to take the time to try to figure out the actual operation of your program.

Please do everyone a favor, yourself included, and at least provide us with this very basic, minimum information!

John

Ok, I'll give him one 'freebie'...

NEVER EVER use a single lower case letter l as a variable.

Old guys like me can't see whether you typed in an l or an I or a 1 or a | !!!

You're allowed 255 characters for a variable name, please, use at least 2,preferably more to 'self-describe' what it is, or what it's used for .

Make it easier for everyone.

While generally true, that is why I prefer to use the Verdana font - I used to maintain a large database at work and was forever running into that problem with text etc being entered in text fields by folks. When I forced all text boxes to use Verdana, life got much better (still not perfect, but at least you can tell lower case el from 1 from capital I :-)

While not everybody agrees, there are a number of "coding standards" out there that discuss variable naming conventions etc. Life is much easier if you grab one and use it. One book that has some good information is "Code Complete". The easier it is to read and understand the code (both by you and someone else), the more likely they/you are to be able to solve problems
