x10 controller for the pic |

Hello,
Can any body let me know what he problem could be.
Any way here is what i am doing
I actually am interfacing a pic micro with a PSC04 X10 controller
(Micro side)
B0 <------ -----------Zero crossing detect from psc04 ( X10 remote controller) connected to a pull up.Black wire 1 of RJ11
B2 -------------------> Input to x10 controller pin 4(yellow) of RJ11
gnd ------------------ gnd of PSC , pins 2 and 3 of telephone jack
I plug the x10 controller and the lampmodule lm 465 in the same power bar and i see the zerocrossing and the pulses getting transmitted but the incandescent table lamp shows no change.
then the code using a driver x10.c from ccs compiler
i did in the main function
while (true)
{
// address command
x10_write(house_code,2); // functions defined in x10.c
x10_write(house_code,2); // house code A, key code 2
//Send the off command
x10_write_bits(7,4,1);
x10_write_bits(house_code,4,0);
x10_write_bits(28,5,0);
x10_write_bits(0,6,1); // silence for 6 cycles
//2nd time
x10_write_bits(7,4,1);
x10_write_bits(house_code,4,0);
x10_write_bits(28,5,0); //off command code is 00111 <- compute this way
x10_write_bits(0,6,1);
delay_ms(10000);
//send the on command
x10_write_bits(7,4,1);
x10_write_bits(house_code,4,0);
x10_write_bits(20,5,0); //on command code is 00101
x10_write_bits(0,6,1); //6 cycles of 0's for pause
x10_write_bits(7,4,1);
x10_write_bits(house_code,4,0);
x10_write_bits(20,5,0);
x10_write_bits(0,6,1);
// delay_ms(10000);

X10 from PIC |

One thing I see immediately is that you are transmitting an ON immediately followed by an OFF without allowing time for the module to react to the command. If you are firing a relay based module the relay won't have time to move it's contacts before you turn it back off.
Also, without doing some checking to confirm, I believe the protocol requires a certain minimum number of AC zero crossings between successive commands. It looks like you may be accomplishing this with the zero writing but I am not that familiar enough with the PIC X10 code to be sure.... A longer delay would be better.

Thanks ,
I removed the off and now transmitting only the ON command and also put in the delay. still no luck. Is there an easy way of verifying what command i am actually sending on to the psc04 .
the x10 functions are :
char const X10_HOUSE_CODES[16] = {'M','N','O','P','C','D','A','B','E',
'F','G','H','K','L','I','J'};
BYTE const X10_KEY_CODES[16] = {13,14,15,16,3,4,1,2,5,6,7,8,11,12,9,10};
void wait_for_zero_cross() {
if(input(X10_ZERO_CROSS))
while(input(X10_ZERO_CROSS)) ;
else
while(!input(X10_ZERO_CROSS)) ;
}
void x10_write_bits(BYTE data, BYTE n, BYTE start) {
BYTE i;
BOOLEAN the_bit;
for(i=1;i<=n;++i) {
wait_for_zero_cross();
the_bit=shift_right(&data,1,0);
output_bit(X10_FROM_PIC, the_bit);
delay_ms(1);
output_low(X10_FROM_PIC);
if(start==0) {
wait_for_zero_cross();
output_bit(X10_FROM_PIC, !the_bit);
delay_ms(1);
output_low(X10_FROM_PIC);
}
}
}
void x10_write(BYTE house_code, BYTE key_code) {
BYTE i;
i=0;
while (X10_HOUSE_CODES[i]!=house_code)
i++;
house_code=i;
if(key_code<16) {
i=0;
while (X10_KEY_CODES[i]!=key_code)
i++;
key_code=i;
}
x10_write_bits(7,4,1);
x10_write_bits(house_code,4,0);
x10_write_bits(key_code,5,0);
x10_write_bits(0,6,1);
}
