Hello,
Please could you help see if this C code has got any faults in it? It builds OK, but I wonder if it will work?
It uses the PIC16F18856. It just puts it through its paces. We have a new board arriving on Friday, and we must get it working by Friday to go to a show and be programmed by the software engineer.
The software engineer will kill us if the board isnt good....so we want to get the micro to do some basic stuff like taking pins high and low.....to see if the board's ok.

Code:
//TEST CODE FOR "590P" Board

Does not build for me, due to forum mangling the include statement
I guessed at:
#include xc.h
#include stdint.h (brackets removed for forum)


10% and 30% PWM on A2 works OK, but I was unwilling to wait 33 minutes for the count1 loop to finish. Did you really mean to loop 1000 times just for the pin A2 PWM?

Let me try at tidier code - if Forum allows....

So after reducing the A2 loop count to something more reasonable (>3 gives about 30 seconds to finish A2 test)...

B2 pin gives a steady square wave - not sure if that was the intention or not. Again the loop count is very large

C1 pin toggles very slowly. Did you maybe use delay_ms function when you really wanted delay_us ?

You have posted code dated almost a year ago (date 27 oct 2017) and want ti get a review by Saturday.

The code as posted does not build without errors.

Useful comments are nonexistent.

There are only tests for output pins.

In short the code tests less that the minimum functionality suggested by what is vaguely hinted at in the comments.

It is lucky you do not work where I do. If I submitted this code for review my peers would suggest that I seek employment with a company where my talents are better matched to the task requirements. Those tasks would compel using the phrase "You want fries with that?" quite often.

You seem to have selected 1MHz internal clock, but set xtal frequency to 4MHz. This will make your delay functions wildly innacurate.

Does your board use internal oscillator, or external crystal / clock?

If the answer is crystal, then that is probably the most important thing to test.

- - - Updated - - -

For what it is worth (not much) here is some code that might be something close to what I guess you maybe want.

It is still terrible code, but gives a few seconds exercise of three pins in turn without having to wait days for the last loop to complete.

Reset pin is disabled - is that what you really want?

You make pin A1 low in initialisation then take it low again later. Not sure what your real intention is, so I left it alone.

You seem to have selected 1MHz internal clock, but set xtal frequency to 4MHz. This will make your delay functions wildly innacurate.

Does your board use internal oscillator, or external crystal / clock?
Thanks, we are using the internal oscillator, and wish to set it to 4MHz. That RSTOSC thing in CONFIG, ...we cant work out what to set it to to get 4MHz, do you know?
 

Do you think you could possibly check over the attached, which also has ADC readings in the code?

Thanks, we are using the internal oscillator, and wish to set it to 4MHz. That RSTOSC thing in CONFIG, ...we cant work out what to set it to to get 4MHz, do you know?
OSCFRQ register selects frequency of internal oscillator:
Code:
#define  _XTAL_FREQ 4000000

uint16_t   count;
uint16_t   count1;
uint16_t   count2;

void main(void){
    
    OSCFRQ = 0x02;                          // change oscillator to 4 MHz
    
    //Setup ports

- - - Updated - - -

Hmmm.... that does not seem to work correctly - I can bodge it with OSCFRQ=4, but I will have to look harder.

- - - Updated - - -

OK - think I have it now. Also need CSWEN = ON, OSCON1 and OSCEN registers set correctly.

As for the code with ADC added - seems we are back to square 1 with waiting 2 hours for first loop to complete. Don't think ADC code works even after the wait

If I get desperately bored I may investigate fixes, but no promises.
 

Thanks, i wonder if i omitted to set the ADC pre-charge and acqusition time......though i thought it would just not do the conversion until after an inbuilt pre-charge delay?
 

Well it seems I did get really bored...

I simplified ADC set-up and ADC now seems to work.

No idea if this comes anywhere close to what you want, but here is what I came up with:

You are not using the built-in PWM peripheral, which sounds a waste of a powerful resource already available on the microcontroller. Moreover, a code having a lot of delays as you did, would not be able to do anything else. Think of having a look at examples with the usage of this module, there are tools on the Web which help us to make code with the necessary settings for each peripheral; ok, those tools in general do not cover the entire uC family, but its registers are quite often the same.

Thanks Hexreader,
Much appreciated, your code looks great.
I have just amended my code to what you kindly put.
I noted that you deleted the following lines
ADCON0 = 0x00; //ADON=0,LEFTJUST,ADGO = 0 WHEN COMPLETE
ADCLK = 0x02; //FOSC/6...ok for 4MHz and 1MHz osc
ADREF = 0x00; //vss and vdd
PIE1 = 0x00; //ADIE interrupt disabled
ADACQ = 0; //Software must wait the acquisition time.

Are you sure it will be OK to avoid setting these registers?
I need the result to be left justified because i am only reading the result as the top 8 bits. (accuracy doesnt matter too much)
Also, the ADCLK, i thought, is important to set as per the datasheet?
 

Wish I knew the answer to those questions, but I am just an amateur coder and just mess around until stuff seems to work. My code did assume power-up values for many ADC registers.

Don't have the patience to go into the science of it all.
