[SOLVED] conveyor object counting

[cyanpraveen]

in this below mentioned code the count gets keep on increasing wen led is turned off. but i need to increase the counter only once wen led turned off till it get turned on

if(LED1 == 0)
{
value++;
Count = value;


UserMessageStorage[4]= Count/100;
Count=(Count-(UserMessageStorage[4]*100));
UserMessageStorage[4]+=0x30;

UserMessageStorage[5]= Count/10;
Count=(Count-(UserMessageStorage[5]*10));
UserMessageStorage[5]+=0x30;

UserMessageStorage[6]= Count%10;
UserMessageStorage[6]+=0x30;

TotalCount[0] = UserMessageStorage[4];
TotalCount[1] = UserMessageStorage[5];
TotalCount[2] = UserMessageStorage[6];


SerTx(TotalCount[0]);
SerTx(TotalCount[1]);
SerTx(TotalCount[2]);
LED1 = 1;
}
Please help me .. thanks for ur information . i

Are you using a PIC? FPGA? You need to provide more information. Like what programming language this is etc.

Well i am using p89v51rd2 microcontroller. i am using keil IDE.

if(LED1 == 0)
{
value++;
Count = value;


UserMessageStorage[4]= Count/100;
Count=(Count-(UserMessageStorage[4]*100));
UserMessageStorage[4]+=0x30;

UserMessageStorage[5]= Count/10;
Count=(Count-(UserMessageStorage[5]*10));
UserMessageStorage[5]+=0x30;

UserMessageStorage[6]= Count%10;
UserMessageStorage[6]+=0x30;

TotalCount[0] = UserMessageStorage[4];
TotalCount[1] = UserMessageStorage[5];
TotalCount[2] = UserMessageStorage[6];


// SerTx(TotalCount[0]);
// SerTx(TotalCount[1]);
// SerTx(TotalCount[2]);
// LED1 = 1;
}

ArrayBasePtr="TOTAL OBJECTS= ";
DisplayLCD(1,0,ArrayBasePtr);
ArrayBasePtr=&TotalCount[0];
DisplayLCD(2,0,ArrayBasePtr);

ArrayBasePtr="Objects ";
DisplayLCD(2,3,ArrayBasePtr);
TimeDelay(850);
LCD_CLEAR();

}
this is the updated code.. now i just want to increment the counter only once wen the light turned off. but for me its keep on incrementing wen led is turned off.. so pls help

I think you will need to implement an interrupt. The problem is that the value keeps on incrementing for as long as LED1 is 0 due to the if statement. An interrupt will cause the value to increment only once at the moment when LED1 goes low.

just add at the end of the code

While(led==0){}

Well thanks for the reply
@nandhu015 : i have tried your idea but its not working.. still the problem persist
@eklikeroomys : this my first program. this might be silly but i had no other way
can you help to write interrupt.. can u give me any sample program using interrupt like which interrupt is need to be used.. how to write ISR and how to call the interrupt from main etc..

thanks

cyanpraveen,


Despite don´t know the scope in where your couter is indeed, I can point some info.
Generally, in industry conveyor counter we take some cares :
> Use of rottary Encoder to measure lengh of object.
> Measured in pulses domain, may validate the object counting, applying width filters ( min/max size )
