LCD driver problem
PostPosted: Wed Jul 21, 2004 8:40 am     Reply with quote

Hi.

I have a circuit built (as in http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00582b.pdf) and I need it now to do something else. Quite simply it is used to set a day counter and when the countdown is finished, an output pin goes high. I however, have attempted to write a suitable program and have (hopefully) adjusted the LCD.C driver so that it should work, but it doesn't. Can anyone see if there is something obvious that I have done wrong?

(Oh yeah timer1 is driven from an external 32.768KHz watch crystal)

Cheers,
Simon

Code:
// Main C program
#include <16C64A.h>
#include <LCD2.C>
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#fuses HS, NOPUT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, NOBROWNOUT

//Defitions below make it easy to change the settings without playing with the
//program.  Change COUNTDOWN to 'days' or 'hours'.
#define COUNTDOWN hours
#define FIRE_PIN1 PIN_C6
#define FIRE_PIN2 PIN_C7
#define UP_PIN PIN_B7
#define SET_PIN PIN_B6

void update_lcddays(void);

int secs=0,hours=0,days=0,dayset=0;
int1 debounce=0;

#int_TIMER1
TIMER1_isr()
{
   set_timer1(0xF000);
   secs++;
   if (secs==3600)
   {
      secs=0;
      hours++;
   }
   if (hours==24)
   {
      hours=0;
      days++;
   }
   if (COUNTDOWN==dayset)
   {
      disable_interrupts(global);
      output_high(FIRE_PIN1);
      for (secs=0;secs<60;secs++)
         delay_ms(100);
      output_high(FIRE_PIN2);
   }
}

   enable_interrupts(global);

   disable_interrupts(global);
   output_float(UP_PIN);
   output_float(SET_PIN);
   printf(lcd_putc,"\fChange days setting: %3d",dayset);
   do
   {
      if (input(UP_PIN)==0)
      {
         update=1;
         for (a=0;a<10;a++)
            if (input(UP_PIN))
               update=0;

Here is a version of LCDD.C that I did sometime back allowing the control signals to be on different ports than the data. I changed it per App582. It is untested so try it if you want.

Cheers for that, it worked spot-on first time. Now I've just gotta work out why the rest of it doesn't work. Wink
