campare two registers in pic16f84

[d@nny]

hello!
i am in a big trouble. i want to compare two registers in pic1684
for example
i creat register J and put decimal 15 in it
now i put 15 in working register
now i want to compare it with J
both reigster have the same value so go to location 0
now i put in w register 14 or 16
now the w and j are not same so go to location 2
how i can do this? is this possible
the 16 is bigger than J but the 14 is smaller than J
thanking you in anticipation

i want it in assembly

 

[betwixt]

Use 'subwf' it sets the Z flag in the status register if the values are equal.
subwf J, f will leave the result in J
subwf J,w will leave the result in w
so if yu need to keep the value for use later, make sure you use the correct version that doesn't change it in J or w.

example:
subwf J,w
btfss STATUS,Z ;jump over the next instruction if J = w
goto not_equal
goto equal

will XOR funtion ok for this problem

 

[betwixt]

Yes, it will work exactly as 'subwf' in this case. The advantage of using subwf is it also set other flags in the STATUS register which you can use to tell if J is greater than or less than W. Using xor will only tell you if they are the same or not.

i just want to know that they are same or not.
so is this code ok for this purpose or some suggestions.


#include "p16f84.inc" ; This includes PIC16F84 definitions for the MPASM assembler

J equ 21h

main:

modified programme of above code

#include "p16f84.inc" ; This includes PIC16F84 definitions for the MPASM assembler

; Please insert your code here.
J equ 21h
main:
org 00h
banksel TRISB
movlw B'00000000'
movwf TRISB
banksel PORTB
clrf PORTB
movlw D'10'
movwf J
clrw
movlw D'9'
xorwf J , 0
btfss STATUS , 2
a:
bsf PORTB , 0


fin:
goto fin

END


please which one is more secure above one or this one if i use it in a digital lock?

Hi,

Think you have missed the two points Betwixt was making.

When you XOR your two values the Pics STATUS register is affected by the result.
Certain bits of it are set on or off to reflect the result, such as the Z bit and C bit.

Its these bits that you test with BTFSS\C STATUS,Z etc.

Again its better to use the SUB than XOR as more of the STATUS register bits are affected.

Use MPLAB SIM and single step though your code using the WATCH window to see the Status and your registers changing.

At the end of the 84s datasheet there is the instruction set, look up the SUBLW instruction which details how it works.
