| PORT RB3 Not Working as a Digital I/O Pin |

Hello, I am experimenting with PICs as a form of learning as beginner, I ran into problem using RB3 pin on PIC16F886! The function on PIN_B3 does not function! Is there any setting I am missing. If I transfer the function to another pin it works there. Please I want to know why RB3 is behaving this way. Below is my code:
| Code: | #include <16F886.h>
#device ADC = 10
#FUSES NOWDT, INTRC_IO, PUT, NOPROTECT, NOMCLR, NOCPD, NOBROWNOUT,NOIESO, FCMEN,
#use delay(clock = 8000000)
#define HIGH_START 0xFF -250 //500us INT_RTCC
#define SYS PIN_B2
#define MAINS_ON PIN_B3
#define RL1 PIN_C0
#define MOK PIN_B0
short DL2_5s,SDL2_5s;
long MS,CDL2_5s,Counter_sys_1s;
void init() // Hardware initialization
{
setup_oscillator(OSC_8MHZ | OSC_INTRC);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_8); // 8Tosc ADC conversion time
setup_adc_ports(sAN11); // Select Analog Inputs
setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC); // disable comparator module
SDL2_5s=false;
DL2_5s=false;
set_rtcc(HIGH_START);
setup_counters(RTCC_INTERNAL, RTCC_DIV_4);
enable_interrupts(INT_RTCC);
enable_interrupts(global);
}
// the timer is incremented (8000000/4)/4 or 500000 times a sond (2 us).
// 250 x 2us = 500us
#INT_RTCC
void clock_isr()
{
{
if (SDL2_5s)
{
if (++CDL2_5s>=(5000*2))
{
SDL2_5s=false;
DL2_5s=true;
}
}
else CDL2_5s=0;
}
{
if (++Counter_SYS_1s>=(1000*2))
{
Counter_sys_1s=0;
output_toggle(SYS);
}
}
}
void main (void)
{
init(); // Configure peripherals/hardware
while(1)
{
/////////Mains Settings/////////Mains Settings/////////Mains Settings/////////
{
set_adc_channel(11); // Select channel AN11
delay_ms(1); // Wait 1ms
MS = read_adc(); // Read from AN11 and store in MS
delay_ms(1); // Wait 1ms
if(MS >= 84 && MS <= 177) // >= 0.410V && <= 0.864V // >= 140V & <=250V
{
SDL2_5s=true; // 15 seconds delay before Mains Changeover
if(DL2_5s)
{
output_high(MAINS_ON);
DL2_5s=false;
}
}
else SDL2_5s=false;
if(MS <= 53 || MS >= 258)// <= 0.260V || >=1.26V// Below <= 120V and >= 276V
{
output_low(MAINS_ON);// Mains is not within usable range
}
}
if (input_state(MOK)==1)
{
output_low(RL1);
}
if (input_state(MOK)==0)
{
output_high(RL1);
}
}
}

Since you say your program works using other pins,
start with a basic '1Hz LED' program.
Does it turn RB3 On/off at about 1 HZ ?
I suspect you may have a hardware problem. A shorted pin, a grounded pin.
now as I type... I believe that pin is also used for Low Voltage Programming. Be sure that the NOLVP fuse is enabled.

As you can see, in my program, "SYS" LED flashes at 1 second using interrupt. It toggles correctly on any other pin but once ported to RB3, it will start to misbehave.
I'm suspecting, in the datasheet they say that Interrupt-on-change is associated with the PORTB. Please how can I go about it if it's the cause of the problem because one may run out of pins at times and may need to utilize every damn pin on the device.

No, Interrupt on change is not your issue.
As Temtronic says, add NOLVP to your fuses. If LVP is enabled, this pin
is the PGM enable, and won't work for standard I/O.
IOC applies to RB3 to RB7, and does nothing unless enabled.
If NOLVP doesn't fix it, as Temtronic says, honestly it sounds like you
either have a pin that is shorted or a faulty PIC.
Assuming the chip is socketed, take it out, and try pulling the pin up/down
with a resistor. If it doesn't merrily go up/down, you have found your
problem (a short somewhere...). |

It is not a hardware issue. Maybe someone has not run into something like this. I have 10pcs of this device. I interchanged the Pins.
| Code: |
#define SYS PIN_B2
#define MAINS_ON PIN_B3
#define RL1 PIN_C0
#define MOK PIN_B0
setup_adc_ports(sAN11); // Select Analog Inputs
|
I changed the above to:
| Code: |
#define SYS PIN_B2
#define MAINS_ON PIN_B5
#define RL1 PIN_C0
#define MOK PIN_B4
setup_adc_ports(sAN9); // Select Analog Inputs
|
Using it as ADC, it works but I have to rewire the board.
I know this forum rules but allow me to add this please. due to this hardware issue mentioned here, I built the circuit in Proteus Isis and simulated it and it is exactly what I experience on hardware. I am not still satisfied as why I can't use "RB3" as digital I/O pin.

We need to see your #fuses. Also how are you programming the PIC ? Which software and hardware are you using ?
Most programming devices use high voltage NOT low voltage but it is possible the unit you have is an LVP device.
BTW I've got 2 16F886 running the 1Hz LED on my bench. I used CCS PCM > MPLAB 8.92 > PICKit3. |

My FUSES:
| Code: | #FUSES NOWDT, INTRC_IO, PUT, NOPROTECT, NOMCLR, NOCPD, NOBROWNOUT,NOIESO, FCMEN,
#FUSES NOLVP |
I use PCWHD 4.140 and Pickit3 and MPLAB IPE 4.15

Cut code to flash an LED on the RB3 pin.
Test and post that program if it doesn't work.
Providing there's no code issues, then it's a HW issue.

It Blinks the LED.
| Code: | #include <16F886.h>
#device ADC = 10
#FUSES NOWDT, INTRC_IO, PUT, NOPROTECT, NOMCLR, NOCPD, NOBROWNOUT,NOIESO, FCMEN,
#FUSES NOLVP, NOWRT,
#use delay(clock = 8000000)
#define SYS PIN_B3
void main (void)
{
while(1)
{
{
output_high(SYS);
delay_ms(1000);
}
{
output_low(SYS);
delay_ms(1000);
}
}
} |
but it fails for my full code!

I think there is a problem with PIN B3 not getting its analog operation turned off and your toggle command for PIN B2 is continually resetting the state of PIN B3.
You appear to have ADC and Comparator set correctly so there may be a bug in your compiler version. Check the listing and see what ANSELH is getting set to. |
