Compiler is not working
PostPosted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 3:20 pm     Reply with quote

Hi, i used ccs when i was in college, and never had a problem. Now I'm trying to use it for my graduate courses, but i have a lot of problems. My code is good, i can compile and I load it to Proteus and it works great. But when i try to load it into the picdem 18, it doesn't work at all. I've loaded the examples codes to the picdem and it works great, but i try to load my programs and they not work. This is an example, a simple blink program:

Code:
#include <18LF8722.h>
#device ADC=10
#use delay(crystal=10000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8,stream=PORT1)


#include <lcd.c>

void main()
{
   setup_adc_ports(AN0);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL|ADC_TAD_MUL_6);

    //lcd_init();
   SET_TRIS_D(0X00);
   
   while(TRUE)
   {
    OUTPUT_D(0XFF);
    DELAY_MS(100);
    OUTPUT_D(0X00);
    DELAY_MS(100);
   
   }

it works only when i quit the lcd_init() code.

I can't use lcd, rs232, and adc, i only can blink leds. I do have programming skills in ccs. I'm using version 5 demo. I hope you can help me.

PS, all the codes works properly in Proteus but not in the PICDEM.
Thanks

Two things;
1. where is the fuses line? (it goes right after the device definition)
2. The lcd_init() likely hangs because you have the r/w line defined

Proteus is a lousy emulator and doesn't care about these things but
REAL HARDWARE does.

You will also typically need a 500ms delay or so BEFORE lcd_init() since it takes time to wake up before it will take commands.

it has all the fuses, ive programmed a 16f877a and it works great, the thing is with the pic 18.

The output 'has' all the fuses set, but what are they set to.

The point is that on many of the older chips, except for the oscillator (which normally default to RC), the rest of the fuses 'default' to a running state. So long as you specify 'crystal', the compiler changes the oscillator, so they then work. On the later chips this is not the case. There are normally a minimum of three or four fuses that you must set, to get the chips to work as you want. Also some peripherals 'wake' enabled.

By default, the watchdog will be on. Also port D, will be set as PSP. Both will stop your code from working.....

As Mr. T points out, it's about the fuses. Proteus doesn't care what they are set to, but a real PIC sure does!
While the compiler does 'default' fuses, WHO said they will be exactly what you want for this program? Defaults are one person's idea of how 'things' should be configured, never what you need. Murphy's Law!
With today's PICs having more fuses than instructions, I now have a fuses file that I include in the program. EVERY fuse is set/cleared as needed for the program.Initially they are a configuration that gets the 1Hz LED program to run.Called 'PICtype_fuses_base.h' this gives me a known set of working fuses.In the case of the 46K22, this means no WDT, no Protection,use internal RC at 64MHz,MCLR, etc. When a project needs something different than the 'base' configuration, the base is copied, recoded, saved as PICtype_project_fuses.h making it easy to follow. Instead of 30 lines of fuses in the main program , 1 line does it.easy on the eyes and it's KNOWN to work,saving time debugging.

I also do the same for the PIC's I/O pins. A simple file,'PICtype_pins_base.h' is created once.Then copied and modified as the project requires.Again, it cleans up the project, makes code easy to read and you KNOW how the PIC is setup.

Just an idea you might like to copy

It's worse than that.... Smile

The 'default' is normally for all fuses to be in their 'erased' state. The compiler doesn't actually set (clear) any by default. A lot of the old chips would run in this state (though usually not 'right'). Most of the new ones, won't.
