Hi HWGonly1

I am also a newbee or say a little old newbee with CCS compiler. Not sure for your question, but:

1. It is better you tell people what microcontroller you are using and what is the version of CCS you are using. Otherwise, people will be hard to help you.

2. Most of your function named by Chinese PIN YIN, it may doesn't make sense to English speaker who is most likely to help you here. I suggest you change that names for easily reading.

3. If possible, you may general describe what is your project doing, so others can easily check if there is any logic problem in your code. Sounds like a bus transport dispatch simulate project

At last, sorry for my poor English as well

Embarassed

Regards
Mark

Some other comments:

1) Don't use float....
It is _not_ suitable for anything involving money. Use a scaled integer. So count in 'cents' in an int32. Problem is that floats have rounding errors, and you will end up with the wrong result long term....
Use cents, and hundredths of a mile (perhaps).

2) Use printf.
For instance your 'welcome' routine, can be done as:

printf(lcd_putc,"\f\nWelcome");

There is no point in the delay between the line feed and the text, the LCD driver will wait till the text can be displayed.
Also printf supports a 'scaled integer' format, that can display a 'cent' count as decimal dollars.

4) Add one delay before lcd_init.
Generally LCD's take quite a time to wake. Often at least half a second _later_ than the PIC. Hence you need to pause before starting.
5) Read the 'sticky' at the top of the forum about Proteus(Isis). Problem is that you can build circuits in Proteus that won't work when you make them for real (so the 'development' with it is wasted time), and perhaps worse, you can build designs in the real world that don't work in Proteus....

6) Initialise the interrupt with:
Code:

  enable_interrupts(global);
  ext_int_edge(H_TO_L);
  clear_interrupts(INT_EXT);
  enable_interrupts(int_ext);

The act of setting the 'edge', can result in the interrupt triggering, hence the sequence must be 'set the edge', 'clear the interrupt', then 'enable'.

7) Why are you clearing the interrupt in the main loop?. Don't. The interrupt is automatically cleared when you exit the handler routine.

8) Your code in the main loop, should only update things, if 'flag==1'. To say that the count has changed.

8) Then back to the float and printf. Printf can format you numbers for you. No need for the fiddling around with 'hun', 'ten', and 'one'.....

Thank you very much, I know there are many disadvantage with my program.
I have correct them but it still doesn't change what LCD display. Crying or Very sad

LCD keep displaying "Vacant" whatever i do.....

I'll go try built it in real.

Please help me, experienced programmers

I'm just a poor student try to complete my work Crying or Very sad

Learn to use the code buttons
Code:

//Processor setup here - post this when posting your code.

#include"flex_lcd.c"
int count=0; //Don't know what you use this for.
int32 RunMileage=0;
int mode=0;
int1 flag=TRUE;

int32 Price_calc()
{
   int32 Price; //running with this at 100*
   if(RunMileage<=2300)
      Price=80000;
   else if((RunMileage>2300)&&(RunMileage<=35000))
      Price=80000+(RunMileage-2300)*26;
   else if(RunMileage>35000)
      Price=111200+(RunMileage-35000)*35;
   return price;
}
//No idea if this calculation is right....
 
void end()
{
   lcd_putc('\f');
   mode=0;
   count=0;
   RunMileage=0;
}

#int_ext
void breakloop()
{
   flag=1;
   if (++mode==3)
      mode=0; //'% division, and should be avoided in an interrupt
}
void carrying()
{
    setup_timer_1(T1_EXTERNAL_SYNC | T1_DIV_BY_1);
    set_timer1(0);
}
void main()
{
   int16 old_timer, temp_timer;
   int32 Price;

   delay_ms(500);
   lcd_init();

   ext_int_edge(H_TO_L);
   clear_interrupt(INT_EXT);
   enable_interrupts(INT_EXT;
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL;

   while(TRUE)
   {
      if (flag==TRUE)
      {
          //note where the flag test is...
            flag=FALSE;
            switch (MODE) {
            case 0:
               count=0;
               printf(lcd_putc,"\f\nVacant Car");
               break;
            case 1:
               printf(lcd_putc,"\f\nWelcome");
               delay_ms(1000);
               carrying();
               printf(lcd_putc,"\f\nFare");
               old_timer=get_timer1();
               mode=2; //automatically advance to 'running'
               break;
           }
       }
       //Now nowhere do you read the timer. Guessing this is actually
       //The 'mileage'. What units though?. 1/10th mile?. 1/100th mile?.
       temp_timer=get_timer1();
       if (temp_timer != old_timer)
       {
           //timer has changed so calculate
           if (mode==2)
           {
               lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
               old_timer=temp_timer;
               //assuming 'RunMileage' is the timer value
               RunMileage=temp_timer;
               Price=Price_calc(); //calculate price so far
               Price/=100; //because I use *100 in factors
               printf(lcd_putc,"%5.2Lw",Price);
           }
       }       
   }
}


Now this won't right, but shows some points:

First, I'm assuming the timer input (counting something), is actually counting odometer pulses. So the count on this is the 'RunMiileage'.
Then the code automatically moves on to mode==2, after displaying the welcome, so it displays the fare as the ride continues. Nobody wants nothing displayed while riding....
Most fare systems have a basic in time as well as mileage. Are you sure your's is this simple?.
Then the button input, and (possibly) the odometer pulse (if this is what it is), will need pull-up resistors.

Thank you very much for rewrite the code for me. However it's still troubling with just display "Vacant car".
Seems the #int_ext still don't work.
Do you have any idea,I'm sure my simulation circuit is right.

As I said:

"Then the button input, and (possibly) the odometer pulse (if this is what it is), will need pull-up resistors."

A button on it's own, won't generate a signal the PIC can see.

Probably it's my circuit that's wrong,would you please have a look on my simulation circuit?

Oh,I'm sorry,what I did is a little amusing,I was just mocked by my teacher, thank you very much,I was out of my mind.

Think.

You are programming the interrupt to trigger when the pin goes high to low.

The pin needs to be pulled _high_ when the button is not pressed, and then pulled _low_ by the button.

So the standard circuit is a resistor from the pin to Vdd, and then the button from the pin to Vss. This way, when the button is pressed, the pin goes low.

also you'll probably need to add a small 'filter' cap across the switch contacts to minimize the 'bounce' or you'll get multiple inputs!
