How to define Rb0 to Rb6 = hex (x%10); // no Rb7 pin - pic

Using MikroC Pro for PIC16f73 to multiplexing 7 segment the written program is:
PORTB = Hex (x%10);
There PORTB means RB0 to RB7 total 8 pins are includes, but I want to use only 7 pins for 7 segments RB0 to RB6, and the pin RB7 as other O/P just 0 or 1.
As like Rb0 to Rb6 = hex (x%10) and Rb7_bit = 0 or 1
so how to define the line Rb0 to Rb6 = hex (x%10);

Try this:
uint8_t Pin_Value;
Pin_Value = Hex (x%10);
Pin_Value |= 0x80; //set bit RB7
Pin_Value &= 0x7F; //clear bit RB7
PORTB = Pin_Value;

Mikrocontroller (PIC16F1827) ADC scrambled output with MCC in MPLAB

Im trying to construct an AD-converter from a potentiometer to an Arduino. I´m trying to learn MCC in MPLAB at the same time. So far I have generated a code that fits my PIC (I think...). My problem is now that my bit represented output is incorrect. This is hoe my PIC16F1827 is configured (se picture)
RA0 = input, RB1 and RB2 = EUSART and RB0,RB3,RA7,RA6,RB7,RB6,RB5,RB4 = output.
My main file look like this (se code). I get an output but its represented wrong and i can´t figure ut why...
char ADC_temp_in;
while (1) //Infinite Loop
{
// Add your application code
printf("pot_value =%d\r\n", ADC_GetConversion(channel_AN0_ADC));
ADC_temp_in = ADC_GetConversion(channel_AN0_ADC); // temp
PORTB = ADC_temp_in; //Write Lower bits to PORTB
PORTA = ADC_temp_in>>6; //Write Higher 2 bits to PORTA
__delay_ms(100); //Delay
}
VREF+ = 5V and is connected directly to VDD.
My goal is to have RB0 as LSB and RA7 as MSB with the voltage difference 0-5 V with the potentiometer.
Two things:
ADC_temp_in had to by a 16 Bit value to hold a value greater than 8 Bit.
So try: uint16_t ADC_temp_in;
Of course your function ADC_GetConversion had to return a uint_16 value.
Another thing is, to get the MSB you had to shift your value 8 times right.
PORTA = ADC_temp_in>>8;

PIC32MX270F256B UART : how to get a single byte from the RX FIFO?

I'm trying to read byte per byte from the RX FIFO, that's 8 bytes deep.
The problem is that when the first byte is received, I have to wait for 8 other bytes to finally get the first byte on U1RXREG.
I'd like to know how to perform some dummy reads on the FIFO to access a particuar byte and "flush" it. Simply putting U1RXREG in an array doesn't do the trick.
Here's my initialization :
void UART_Initialize(void)
{
// SIDL: Stop in Idle Mode bit : 1 = Discontinue module operation when the device enters Idle mode
U1MODEbits.SIDL = 0;
// IREN: IrDA Encoder and Decoder Enable bit : 0 = IrDA is disabled
U1MODEbits.IREN = 0;
// RTSMD: Mode Selection for UxRTS Pin bit : 0 = UxRTS pin is in Flow Control mode
U1MODEbits.RTSMD = 0;
// UEN<1:0>: UARTx Enable bits : 10 = UxTX, UxRX, UxCTS and UxRTS pins are enabled and used
U1MODEbits.UEN1 = 1;
U1MODEbits.UEN0 = 0;
// WAKE: Enable Wake-up on Start bit Detect During Sleep Mode bit : 0 = Wake-up disabled
U1MODEbits.WAKE = 0;
// LPBACK: UARTx Loopback Mode Select bit : 0 = Loopback mode is disabled
U1MODEbits.LPBACK = 0;
// ABAUD: Auto-Baud Enable bit : 0 = Baud rate measurement disabled or completed
U1MODEbits.ABAUD = 0;
// RXINV: Receive Polarity Inversion bit : 0 = UxRX Idle state is ‘1’
U1MODEbits.RXINV = 0;
// BRGH: High Baud Rate Enable bit : 0 = Standard Speed mode – 16x baud clock enabled
U1MODEbits.BRGH = 0;
// PDSEL<1:0>: Parity and Data Selection bits : 01 = 8-bit data, even parity
U1MODEbits.PDSEL1 = 0;
U1MODEbits.PDSEL0 = 1;
// STSEL: Stop Selection bit : 0 = 1 Stop bit
U1MODEbits.STSEL = 0;
// ADM_EN: Automatic Address Detect Mode Enable bit : 0 = Automatic Address Detect mode is disabled
U1STAbits.ADM_EN = 0;
// UTXISEL<1:0>: TX Interrupt Mode Selection bits : 00 = Interrupt is generated and asserted while the transmit buffer contains at least one empty space
U1STAbits.UTXISEL1 = 0;
U1STAbits.UTXISEL0 = 0;
// UTXINV: Transmit Polarity Inversion bit : 0 = UxTX Idle state is ‘1’ (with IrDA disbled)
U1STAbits.UTXINV = 0;
// URXEN: Receiver Enable bit : 1 = UARTx receiver is enabled. UxRX pin is controlled by UARTx (if ON = 1)
U1STAbits.URXEN = 1;
// UTXBRK: Transmit Break bit : 0 = Break transmission is disabled or completed
U1STAbits.UTXBRK = 0;
// URXISEL<1:0>: Receive Interrupt Mode Selection bit : 00 = Interrupt flag bit is asserted while receive buffer is not empty (i.e., has at least 1 data character)
U1STAbits.URXISEL1 = 0;
U1STAbits.URXISEL0 = 0;
// ADDEN: Address Character Detect bit (bit 8 of received data = 1) : 0 = Address Detect mode is disabled
U1STAbits.ADDEN = 0;
// Baud Rate Calculation :
// FPB = 10MHz ; Desired Baud Rate = 9600 bauds
// => U1BRG = FPB/(16*BaudRate)-1 = 64 (error = 0,16%)
U1BRG = 64;
// Enable UART RX interrupts
//IEC1bits.U1RXIE = 1;
// Enable UART
// ON: UARTx Enable bit : 1 = UARTx is enabled. UARTx pins are controlled by UARTx as defined by the UEN<1:0> and UTXEN control bits.
U1MODEbits.ON = 1;
// UTXEN: Transmit Enable bit : 1 = UARTx transmitter is enabled. UxTX pin is controlled by UARTx (if ON = 1).
U1STAbits.UTXEN = 1;
}
For the moment I tried reading like this, in the while(1) loop, without success :
while (1)
{
uint8_t rxbyte[8];
bool b;
//if (U1STAbits.URXDA == 1)
while(!U1STAbits.URXDA);
rxbyte[0] = U1RXREG;
rxbyte[1] = U1RXREG;
rxbyte[2] = U1RXREG;
rxbyte[3] = U1RXREG;
rxbyte[4] = U1RXREG;
rxbyte[5] = U1RXREG;
rxbyte[6] = U1RXREG;
rxbyte[7] = U1RXREG;
sprintf(s, "I received : %u %u %u %u %u %u %u %u\n\r", rxbyte[0], rxbyte[1], rxbyte[2], rxbyte[3], rxbyte[4], rxbyte[5], rxbyte[6], rxbyte[7]);
myPrint(s);
IFS1bits.U1RXIF = 0;
}
The 8 bytes in rxbytes[] are always the same. I tried to clear the RX interrupt flag between the reads, reading URXDA also between the reads, add a delay, still no success, I still have to wait for 8 incoming bytes to access the first one.
Thanx in advance for your help !
Best regards.
Eric
I finally found the solution : I had a double configuration, one by MCC and one by myself, and it seems that having the interruptions activated caused this. Now I switched the interrupts off and I simply poll URXDA, and everything works fine.
Sorry for bothering you guys !
You can use your original method too. The problem with your While(1) loop is that you check if there is "at least 1 byte in the hardware Rx buffer" ( U1STAbits.URXDA tells you as soon as 1 byte is availlable ). When 1 byte is availlable, then you read 8 bytes inside the loop... so of course you will get 8 identical bytes when there is only 1 byte in the buffer.

How to set a port as input or output with PIC?

Problem : Cannot understand how to set port A and port B as input and output
Im using a book as reference : page 19 - Introduction (chapter) - BookName : John Morton Third Edition - The PIC MicroController Your Personal Introductory Course
According to what I understood from the book,bit numbering goes from right to left, so im supposed to read as port DCBA and thats why : b'0010'
However, this paragraph on page 18 is really confusing :
It moves the literal into the working register. Then the instruction
tris takes the number in the working register and uses it to select
which bits of the port are to act as inputs and which as outputs. A
binary 1 will correspond to an input and a 0 corresponds to an output.
And reading it again,I wonder if , for each port, there is 4 bits, and I can select how many of these are input and how many are output? But I thought a port can only be output or input..
Please , would someone clarify?
__config _CP_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _XT_OSC
list P = 16F57;
include "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPLABX\v3.40\mpasmx\p16f57.inc";
portA equ 05
portB equ 06
org 0 ; Starts at 0?
goto Start
Init
clrf portA ; Reset Port A and B States
clrf portB ;
movlw b'0010'; Set port B as output
tris portA;
movlw b'0010'; Set Port A as input
;0010 should mean -> ABCD port states?
tris portB;
retlw 0; return
Start
call Init;
Main
bsf portA,0;
goto Main;
END
An individual port corresponds to all of its associated pins. For example, on the PIC16F57, you have pins RA0,RA1,RA2 and RA3. These pins correspond to PORTA bits 0, 1, 2 and 3 respectively. So, this is what is actually happening.
clrf portA
clrf portB
movlw b'0010' ;Set RA1 as input and RA0,RA2,RA3 as output
tris portA;
movlw b'0010' ;Set RB1 as input and RB0,RB2,RB3 as output
tris portB
Something to note is that all pins are initialized as inputs upon power up or reset and, while PORTA is only a 4 bit register, PORTB is 8 bits. In this case it may be better to explicitly declare all of the bits for that register.
movlw b'00000010' ;Set RB1 as input all others as output.
tris portB
You have to make sure that you read the datasheet to determine the width of your PORT registers and their corresponding pins.
TRISB=0xFF; //For PortB as a Input
TRISB=0x00; //For PortB as Output

How to calculate g values from LIS3DH sensor?

I am using LIS3DH sensor with ATmega128 to get the acceleration values to get motion. I went through the datasheet but it seemed inadequate so I decided to post it here. From other posts I am convinced that the sensor resolution is 12 bit instead of 16 bit. I need to know that when finding g value from the x-axis output register, do we calculate the two'2 complement of the register values only when the sign bit MSB of OUT_X_H (High bit register) is 1 or every time even when this bit is 0.
From my calculations I think that we calculate two's complement only when MSB of OUT_X_H register is 1.
But the datasheet says that we need to calculate two's complement of both OUT_X_L and OUT_X_H every time.
Could anyone enlighten me on this ?
Sample code
int main(void)
{
stdout = &uart_str;
UCSRB=0x18; // RXEN=1, TXEN=1
UCSRC=0x06; // no parit, 1-bit stop, 8-bit data
UBRRH=0;
UBRRL=71; // baud 9600
timer_init();
TWBR=216; // 400HZ
TWSR=0x03;
TWCR |= (1<<TWINT)|(1<<TWSTA)|(0<<TWSTO)|(1<<TWEN);//TWCR=0x04;
printf("\r\nLIS3D address: %x\r\n",twi_master_getchar(0x0F));
twi_master_putchar(0x23, 0b000100000);
printf("\r\nControl 4 register 0x23: %x", twi_master_getchar(0x23));
printf("\r\nStatus register %x", twi_master_getchar(0x27));
twi_master_putchar(0x20, 0x77);
DDRB=0xFF;
PORTB=0xFD;
SREG=0x80; //sei();
while(1)
{
process();
}
}
void process(void){
x_l = twi_master_getchar(0x28);
x_h = twi_master_getchar(0x29);
y_l = twi_master_getchar(0x2a);
y_h = twi_master_getchar(0x2b);
z_l = twi_master_getchar(0x2c);
z_h = twi_master_getchar(0x2d);
xvalue = (short int)(x_l+(x_h<<8));
yvalue = (short int)(y_l+(y_h<<8));
zvalue = (short int)(z_l+(z_h<<8));
printf("\r\nx_val: %ldg", x_val);
printf("\r\ny_val: %ldg", y_val);
printf("\r\nz_val: %ldg", z_val);
}
I wrote the CTRL_REG4 as 0x10(4g) but when I read them I got 0x20(8g). This seems bit bizarre.
Do not compute the 2s complement. That has the effect of making the result the negative of what it was.
Instead, the datasheet tells us the result is already a signed value. That is, 0 is not the lowest value; it is in the middle of the scale. (0xffff is just a little less than zero, not the highest value.)
Also, the result is always 16-bit, but the result is not meant to be taken to be that accurate. You can set a control register value to to generate more accurate values at the expense of current consumption, but it is still not guaranteed to be accurate to the last bit.
the datasheet does not say (at least the register description in chapter 8.2) you have to calculate the 2' complement but stated that the contents of the 2 registers is in 2's complement.
so all you have to do is receive the two bytes and cast it to an int16_t to get the signed raw value.
uint8_t xl = 0x00;
uint8_t xh = 0xFC;
int16_t x = (int16_t)((((uint16)xh) << 8) | xl);
or
uint8_t xa[2] {0x00, 0xFC}; // little endian: lower byte to lower address
int16_t x = *((int16*)xa);
(hope i did not mixed something up with this)
I have another approach, which may be easier to implement as the compiler will do all of the work for you. The compiler will probably do it most efficiently and with no bugs too.
Read the raw data into the raw field in:
typedef union
{
struct
{
// in low power - 8 significant bits, left justified
int16 reserved : 8;
int16 value : 8;
} lowPower;
struct
{
// in normal power - 10 significant bits, left justified
int16 reserved : 6;
int16 value : 10;
} normalPower;
struct
{
// in high resolution - 12 significant bits, left justified
int16 reserved : 4;
int16 value : 12;
} highPower;
// the raw data as read from registers H and L
uint16 raw;
} LIS3DH_RAW_CONVERTER_T;
than use the value needed according to the power mode you are using.
Note: In this example, bit fields structs are BIG ENDIANS.
Check if you need to reverse the order of 'value' and 'reserved'.
The LISxDH sensors are 2's complement, left-justified. They can be set to 12-bit, 10-bit, or 8-bit resolution. This is read from the sensor as two 8-bit values (LSB, MSB) that need to be assembled together.
If you set the resolution to 8-bit, just can just cast LSB to int8, which is the likely your processor's representation of 2's complement (8bit). Likewise, if it were possible to set the sensor to 16-bit resolution, you could just cast that to an int16.
However, if the value is 10-bit left justified, the sign bit is in the wrong place for an int16. Here is how you convert it to int16 (16-bit 2's complement).
1.Read LSB, MSB from the sensor:
[MMMM MMMM] [LL00 0000]
[1001 0101] [1100 0000] //example = [0x95] [0xC0] (note that the LSB comes before MSB on the sensor)
2.Assemble the bytes, keeping in mind the LSB is left-justified.
//---As an example....
uint8_t byteMSB = 0x95; //[1001 0101]
uint8_t byteLSB = 0xC0; //[1100 0000]
//---Cast to U16 to make room, then combine the bytes---
assembledValue = ( (uint16_t)(byteMSB) << UINT8_LEN ) | (uint16_t)byteLSB;
/*[MMMM MMMM LL00 0000]
[1001 0101 1100 0000] = 0x95C0 */
//---Shift to right justify---
assembledValue >>= (INT16_LEN-numBits);
/*[0000 00MM MMMM MMLL]
[0000 0010 0101 0111] = 0x0257 */
3.Convert from 10-bit 2's complement (now right-justified) to an int16 (which is just 16-bit 2's complement on most platforms).
Approach #1: If the sign bit (in our example, the tenth bit) = 0, then just cast it to int16 (since positive numbers are represented the same in 10-bit 2's complement and 16-bit 2's complement).
If the sign bit = 1, then invert the bits (keeping just the 10bits), add 1 to the result, then multiply by -1 (as per the definition of 2's complement).
convertedValueI16 = ~assembledValue; //invert bits
convertedValueI16 &= ( 0xFFFF>>(16-numBits) ); //but keep just the 10-bits
convertedValueI16 += 1; //add 1
convertedValueI16 *=-1; //multiply by -1
/*Note that the last two lines could be replaced by convertedValueI16 = ~convertedValueI16;*/
//result = -425 = 0xFE57 = [1111 1110 0101 0111]
Approach#2: Zero the sign bit (10th bit) and subtract out half the range 1<<9
//----Zero the sign bit (tenth bit)----
convertedValueI16 = (int16_t)( assembledValue^( 0x0001<<(numBits-1) ) );
/*Result = 87 = 0x57 [0000 0000 0101 0111]*/
//----Subtract out half the range----
convertedValueI16 -= ( (int16_t)(1)<<(numBits-1) );
[0000 0000 0101 0111]
-[0000 0010 0000 0000]
= [1111 1110 0101 0111];
/*Result = 87 - 512 = -425 = 0xFE57

To convert RGB 12 bit data to RGB 12 bit packed data

I have some RGB(image) data which is 12 bit. Each R,G,B has 12 bits, total 36 bits.
Now I need to club this 12 bit RGB data into a packed data format. I have tried to mention the packing as below:-
At present I have input data as -
B0 - 12 bits G0 - 12 bits R0 - 12 bits B1 - 12 bits G1 - 12 bits R1 - 12 bits .. so on.
I need to convert it to packed format as:-
Byte1 - B8 (8 bits of B0 data)
Byte2 - G4B4 (remaining 4 bits of B0 data+ first 4 bits of G0)
Byte3 - G8 (remaining 8 bits of G0)
Byte4 - R8 (first 8 bits of R0)
Byte5 - B4R4 (first 4 bits of B1 + last 4 bits of R0)
I have to write these individual bytes to a file in text format. one byte below another.
Similar thing i have to do for a 10 bit RGB input data.
Is there any tool/software to get the conversion of data i am looking to get done.
I am trying to do it in a C program - I am forming a 64 bit from the individual 12 bits of R,G,B (total 36 bits). But after that I am not able to come up with a logic to pick
the necessary bits from a R,G,B data to form a byte stream, and to dump them to a text file.
Any pointers will be helpful.
This is pretty much untested, super messy code I whipped together to give you a start. It's probably not packing the bytes exactly as you want, but you should get the general idea.
Apologies for the quick and nasty code, only had a couple of minutes, hope it's of some help anyway.
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct

unsigned short B;

*currentDestByte++ = (0x0FF) & pixel1->B;
*currentDestByte++ = ((0xF00 & pixel1->B) >> 8) | (0x0F & pixel1->G);

{
break;
}
*currentDestByte++ = ((0xFF0 & pixel2->B) >> 4);
*currentDestByte++ = (0x0FF & pixel2->G);
*currentDestByte++ = ((0xF00 & pixel2->G) >> 8) | (0x0F & pixel2->R);
*currentDestByte++ = (0xFF0 & pixel2->R);
}
FILE* outfile = fopen("output.bin", "w");
fwrite(dest, 1, destbytes,outfile);
fclose(outfile);
}
Use bitwise & (and), | (or), and shift <<, >> operators.
