SSP question
PostPosted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 7:55 am     Reply with quote

Does anyone know if the SSP module will work independently of the CPU? I have an application which consists of input and output cards each with a PIC that reads data over i2c. I'm having transient issues with the relay output card which cause the card to lockup but I can still read data back from it over the i2c bus.

Has anyone here ever had this issue and what was done to resolve it? I set up the WDT but it doesn't seem to work.

I compiled this with v4.050 Here is the code:

Code:

// ************ RAINDROP CONTROL SUBSYSTEM QR16 RELAY OUTPUT CARD **************
// * Version 1.0                                                               *
// * Project P008-QR16   Rev 0                                                 *                                                     
// * Device: PIC16F882-I/SO SOIC-28                                            *
// * ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *
// * 12/12/11 (v1.1) - Added default i2c address.                              *
// * 04/03/12 (v1.2) - Added watchdog timer and brownout detect                *

If you are able to read data from the I2C, then the CPU is still running OK. This is why the watchdog doesn't trigger.
Get rid of the 'slow' keyword. _Only master devices have a speed setting_. Having this can cause problems, programming illegal combinations into the registers.....
4.050, is _before_ CCS V4 really worked. Late V4.07x compilers were the first ones that had most features working. This could be a second problem.
In state 0x80 in the INT_SSP, you must read the register, before writing the reply. The effect of not doing this varies between chips, but failure to do this, can cause erratic behaviour of the I2C peripheral. If you look at the examples, the 'read' section uses <=0x80, while the write section uses >=0x80, so both transactions are done in state 0x80.
What happens to your code, if state==3 or more?. Though (presumably) you don't expect this to happen, you should always handle such things.
You should not enable INT_SSP, till _after_ you have setup the slave address.

Thanks for the pointers. I just determined that what you said is indeed correct. The CPU is still running it's just that i2c isn't working at the point it locks up. I will implement your suggestions and see how things turn out. Thanks a lot.

hmm...
"I'm having transient issues with the relay output card"...

Might also be hardware related.

Have you got suppression diodes across the relays (if mechanical types) ??

To verify relays are the cause of the transients, replace with LEDs and resistors and run the program.

Also be sure the power supply and power lines to the relays are hefty enough for the power levels the relays need. Your PIC VDD may be 'dipping' long enough to just enough to cause 'transient' problems.
