18F4550 USB unpredictable behavior
PostPosted: Thu Jan 02, 2014 1:39 pm     Reply with quote
Hello!
I am trying to establish steady usb_cdc connection between PC and 18F4550 MCU. I almost succeeded Very Happy .
The problem occurs when I plug the USB connector in (which also supplies the MCU) and some times (randomly) I get the windows message
Quote:
USB Device Not Recognized
. It also disconnect and connect the bus even during continuous work. In other hand I receive the data being send from the MCU, but the connection somehow is not reliable.
Code:

#include <18F4550.h>
#fuses NOMCLR,HSPLL,PUT,USBDIV,PLL5,CPUDIV1,VREGEN
#use delay(clock = 48M)
//#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_,rcv=PIN_)

#include <pic18_usb.h>
#include <usb_cdc.h>

#define D_LED PIN_D1

void main()
{
   delay_ms(100);
   usb_init_cs();
   int16 d_time=500;

while (true)
   {
      if(usb_enumerated())
         d_time=100;
      usb_task();
      output_high(D_LED);
      delay_ms(d_time);
      usb_cdc_putc('R');
      output_low(D_LED);
      delay_ms(d_time);
   }
}

Where do I mistake?
Thanks in advance!

Several things:

1) If this device is being powered by the USB bus, there is no point in using usb_init_cs. Just use usb_init instead. The point about the CS version is that this is for devices that have their own power, and need to wake the USB peripheral, and go and do other things while waiting for the USB connection to be made.
2) A common cause for the problem you describe is the capacitor on Vusb. If this is too large, the reference voltage used for the USB bus takes too long to wake up. This should be something like a polyester 0.47uF capacitor. No smaller than 0.22uF, no larger than 1uF.
3) Delays..... Use a hardware timer, and wait for this to expire, rather than using software delays in the main loop. The standard code uses interrupt support, rather than polling (with polling, usb_task must be called every mSec), but the task still has to be called at quite fast intervals. With your long delays in the loop, there is a risk the task is not being called often enough....
4) You are trying to 'putc', before the device may be enumerated. Enumeration only starts when 'init' is called and will take several mSec to complete.

Thank you Ttelmah! I modified my software and hardware according to what you reccomended, and now I haven't same problems as I used to. BUT, now, somehow the MCU resets after 133 secs being connected, and can't be enumerated again. Debugged via Terraterm. When I reset (Power reset) the MCU the connection is ok until 133 secs expired.
The code:
Code:

#include <18F4550.h>
#fuses NOMCLR,HSPLL,PUT,USBDIV,PLL5,CPUDIV1,VREGEN
#use delay(clock = 48M)
#include <usb_cdc.h>
#define D_LED_Y PIN_D1
#define D_LED_G PIN_D0

#INT_TIMER0
void TMR0(){
usb_task();

}

void main()
{
   char str[9];
   int16 i=0;
   usb_init_cs();
   SETUP_TIMER_0(T0_DIV_1);

   while(!usb_enumerated())
      {
      output_high(D_LED_Y);
      delay_ms(200);
      usb_task();
      output_low(D_LED_Y);
      delay_ms(200);
      usb_task();
      }
   output_low(D_LED_Y);
   ENABLE_INTERRUPTS(INT_TIMER0);
   ENABLE_INTERRUPTS(GLOBAL);   
while (true)
   {
      delay_ms(1000);
      if(usb_enumerated())
         output_high(D_LED_G);
     i++;
     sprintf(str,"\r%lu sec",i);
     usb_cdc_puts(str);
   }
}


I made a short video example:

I'd suspect it is watch-dogging.
Add NOWDT to the fuses.

A nominal 131secs, is the maximum watchdog timeout.

You are a genius ! Surprised
One more thing - The previous reply, you said to me:

but when I am using usb_init instead of usb_init_cs I recieve neither data nor enumeration "TRUE". Anyway I am very grateful for support.
