PIC16F688 Interrupt-On-Change
PostPosted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 1:51 pm     Reply with quote

Recently I needed to port a simple CCS C program that was running on a PIC16F88 to its cousin the PIC16F688. The original code used PORT B�s interrupt-on-change mechanism to capture when a switch was activated. As expected, each time the switch was activated (ON = 5V) I received an interrupt via (INT_RB) which I debounced, read the port to determine if the switch was HIGH or LOW, and then set a FLAG. The code worked fine and all was well.

After porting the code to the PIC16F688 I either recieve no interrupts at all when using enable_interrupt(INT_RA), or constant interrupts, indepentent of whether the switch is activated, when using enable_interrupt(INT_RA1). Apparently there are some differences in the way interrupt-on-change works on this part.

Does anyone have any experience with the PIC16F688, specifically using PORT A�s interrupt-on-change function?

Did you:

1. Disable the comparators ?

2. Configure Port A pins as digital ?

3. Enable the appropriate pins for Interrupt-on-Change by
writing to the IOCA register ?

4. Read Port A, to clear the mis-match condition before exiting
from the ISR ?

If you still can't make it work, then post a small but complete test
program. Be sure to show all #fuses, #use delay(), etc., statements.

Thank you once again PCM Programmer. You were correct in determining that I had not setup PORT A properly.

As a treat for all the newbies, I am listing a version of the program which shows how to implement interrupt-on-change for the PIC16F688.

Code:

#include <16F688.h>
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#fuses NOWDT,INTRC_IO,NOMCLR,NOPROTECT,BROWNOUT,NOCPD

#zero_ram

// Inputs
#define Switch_ON         input(PIN_A2)         // SIGNAL INPUT
#define Switch_OFF       !input(PIN_A2)

// Outputs
#define LED_On            output_low(PIN_C4)      // INDICATOR OUTPUT
#define LED_Off           output_high(PIN_C4)

#define   FREQLOW      331         // 90 Pulses Per Minute (PPM)
#define   FREQHIGH   161         // 180 Pulses Per Minute (PPM)
                             
int8   STATE=0x00;   //|--XX--|--XX--|--XX--|--XX--|--XX--|--XX--|--XX--| SW1 |

void Flash(void);

#int_TIMER0
void TIMER0_isr(void)
{
   set_timer0(34250);         // Delay ~13ms @ 4MHz
   
   if(Switch_ON)
      bit_set(STATE,0);
   else
      bit_clear(STATE,0);

   disable_interrupts(INT_TIMER0);   // Stop Timer 0   
}

#int_RA
RA_isr(void)
{
   enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER0);   // Start Timer 0
}

void main(void)
{
   setup_oscillator(OSC_4MHZ,0);

   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);   // Make PORT A Inputs Digital
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF);            // Turn OFF ADC
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);   // Disconnect Comparators
   set_tris_a(0b00110100);   // |--XX--|--XX--|TRISA5|TRISA4|TRISA3|TRISA2|TRISA1|TRISA0|
   
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_256);

   enable_interrupts(INT_RA2);      // Enable Interrupt-On-Change
    enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);

   sleep();   // Wait for the switch to close

   while(1)
   {
      switch(STATE)      // To add more switches, add more cases
      {
         case 0x00:      // Switch is OFF
            sleep();   // Go back to sleep
            break;
         case 0x01:      // Switch is ON
            Flash();   // Do something
            break;
         default:      // Who cares
            sleep();   // Go back to sleep
            break;
      }
   }
}

void Flash(void)
{
   LED_On;
   delay_ms(FREQLOW);
   LED_Off;
   delay_ms(FREQLOW);
}


Have fun.

I just found the problem. Make sure to disable comparators.
