MPLAB-Completing-the-Project-Creation.jpg' alt='How To Program The Pic In C' title='How To Program The Pic In C' />Introduction to PIC Interrupts and their Handling in CInterrupts are common features in almost all processor family, be it old 8. AVR, PIC, ARM or the x. So their in depth and clear knowledge. This guide will explain. PIC1. 8 architecture. We will also learn about handling of interrupts in HI TECH C for PIC1. What are Interrupts Interrupts, as the name suggests interrupts the normal execution and. Requests and urgent attention of CPU. Interrupts are situations. CPU cant predict when they will happen, they can happen any time. CPU does not wait for them. So the CPU keeps on doing its normal job. For example when the USART. Serial Communication Hardware will receive data is unknown, it can receive. So the CPU keeps on doing its normal job, which may be for example. LM3. 5. sensor and display on LCD. The CPU keeps on doing the normal job, but as soon as the USART. CPU using an interrupt. The CPU save its current. ISR interrupt service routine. Where we can process the command or put it in a FIFO queue to. The ISR is generally kept very small and fast. As soon as the. ISR ends, the CPU restores its saved state and resumes where it left. In this. way CPU does not missed any data byte. Example of sources of Interrupts in PIC1. MCUsExternal interrupts they are named INTx like INT0, INT1. Like. if you connect a touchscreen controller to your PIC MCU. Then the touchscreens. PENINT pen interrupt can be connected to INT0 or any other INTx. Then. when ever the pen or stylus touches the screen it will interrupt the CPU. This interrupt will be explained in details in its own tutorial. TIMER interrupts They are also very common in MCUs. Todays. MCUs comes with very sophisticated timers that can do lots of magic for you. They have they related interrupts. In most simple situation they can act like. CPU at predefined intervals. If you toggle. a io pin in response to these alarms interrupts, what you have is a frequency. For. more info on timers on PIC1. Analog to Digital Converter Interrupts AD Converter. So the CPU can either wait for. AD conversion complete interrupt. In the latter. case CPU can do other tasks while AD converter converts the input. As soon. as AD converter completes its job it will inform CPU to read the value from. For. more info on AD Converter of PIC1. Data Interrupts MCUs have many different types of data. USART, SPI, I2. C, Parallel etc. They can also interrupt the. CPU when data transmission is complete or data arrives from external source. Like an RFID reader send a packet because a user just brought his or her card. Or the GSM module detected an incoming call. How interrupts are managed In general each interrupt source have following related bits. Enable Bit The are suffixed with IE Interrupt Enable. TMR0. IE stands for TIMER0 Interrupt Enable. It can be used to enabledisable. When set to 1 it enables the interrupt. Flag Bit It is set automatically by the related hardware. It is generally suffixed with IF Interrupt. Fag. When it is set to 1 we know that interrupt has occurred. For example. when TMR0. IF is set by TIMER0, it indicates that TIMER0 has overflowed. Priority Bit We can leave this for now to keep things. We wont be using interrupt priority feature of PIC1. In global level their are following bits to control the interrupts globally. GIE Global Interrupt Enable, enablesdisables interrupts. PEIE Enabledisable all peripheral interrupts. Interrupt Vector. It is the address where the CPU jumps when an interrupt occurs. In PIC1. 8 this. address is 0. CPU jumps to this address for any interrupt. The ISR or Interrupt service routine is placed in this address. The ISR must. determine the source of interrupt from the flag bitdescribed above. Main Interrupt Service Routine ISR2void interrupt ISR. Check if it is TMR0 Overflow ISR5ifTMR0. IE TMR0. IF. 7TMR0 Overflow ISR8. Increment Over Flow Counter. Toggle RB1 LED1. RB10. RB11. RB10. 1. 81. Reset Counter. Clear Flag. TMR0. IF0. For example in above code snipped. ISR is the main. CPU jumps for any interrupt TIMER,AD, INTx etc. As soon as we enter the ISR we check for the source of interrupt. This done. using the lineifTMR0. IE TMROIFthe above line check is the source of interrupt was TIMER0 so it checks if. TMR0. IF is set or not. It also checks TMR0. IE TIMER0 interrupt enable bit to. It execute the TIMER0 ISR only of. One more line on interest is line 2. You should note one more point the GIE explained above is cleared automatically. PIC1. 8 enters ISR, this make sure that interrupts cannot be interrupted. It also automatically sets GIE on return from interrupt, which re. In the above code from line 9 to 2. LED. And also clear the counter line 1. This gives us a LED that is toggled ever 1sec. So you see that LED is controlled. TIMER while CPU can keep on doing other jobs but LED will always. This example give a kind of illustration of multitasking. LED take care of itself. You dont have to write anything on the main. LED. Your main function could go on normally, for example. The TIMER will take care of the LED and toggle. The LED could be used for decoration of the robot. Handling interrupt in CHere I will show you how we can write programs in HI TECH C that utilizes interrupt. PIC MCU. The interrupt handling is very clean and straightforward. HI TECH C as compare to Microchip C1. Compiler. Please note that interrupt. C language, so their is significant diffenence. Please note that to simplify the situtation, we are not using interrupt priority. PIC1. 8because this is a guide for first time user of interrput. In HI TECH C for PIC1. ISR interrupt service routine, that is called when. Function. Namevoidas you can see in above code line the interruptfunction qualifier is used to mark a function as ISR. The following point. ISR The return type of ISR must always be void. It must not take any parameters. Thats why argument list is set to void. The name of function can be any valid C function name. But I generally use. ISR for ISRs. Their can be at most one ISR function. Two if using interrupt priority. For more information refer to the HI TECH C user manual. HI TECH C Program for TIMER0 Interrupt. The following is a simple program that demonstrate use of interrupts. The program. is very simple so does not do any magic but only teaches use of interrupt. Please. go through the program very carefully to check out how every feature described. To understand the program you also need some knowledge of TIMER0. A simple example to demonstrate the use of PIC Timers. In this 4example the TIMER0 is configured as follows. Bit Mode. 7Clock Source from Prescaler. Prescaler FCPU2. Note FCPU Fosc49ver flow INT enabled. As our FCPU2. 0MHz4 We are running from 2. MHz XTAL1. 25. MHz. Time Period 0. 2u. S1. 5Prescaller Period 0. S1. 6Overflow Period 5. S1. 7 0. So we need 10. Over Flows to count for 1 sec. Overflows. 21. 22. So we keep a counter to keep track of overflows. When an over flow occurs the PIC jumps to ISR where we. And when counter becomes 7. RB1 pin. This pin is connected to LED. Therefore we. 27have a LED which is ON for 1 sec and Off for 1sec. Target Chip PIC1. F4. 52. 03. 1Target Compiler HI TECH C For PIC1. Project MPLAP Project File.

One of the interesting part in Microchip PIC microcontroller feature is the configuration bit, this bit can be set when we power on the microcontroller and put it in our program unlike AVR microcontroller which known as fuse bit and lock bit this bits has to be set first before we can use the microcontroller. You could include this setting on your code or instruct the MPLAB IDE to include this setting for you by using menu Configure Configuration Bits as follow Uncheck the Configuration Bits set in code option and this setting will overwrite any configuration bit you set in your code. For this tutorial I am using this configuration bit statement remember using CONFIG with double underscore CONFIGINTIO WDTDIS PWRTEN MCLREN UNPROTECT UNPROTECT BORDIS IESODIS FCMDIS Now lets take a look in the main code area the first statement is to choose the 8 Mhz internal clock, the default value is 4 Mhz and by setting the oscillator control register OSCCON special function register in the PIC1. F6. 90 microcontroller to hex value 0x. Mhz internal clock maximum as follow OSCCON0x. Select 8 Mhz internal clock The TRISC is a three state bidirectional buffer control register for PORTC, by clearing all the bit set to logical 0, we instruct the PIC microcontroller to use the PORTC as output port by setting to logical 1 mean we use for input port. TRISC 0x. 00 Set All on PORTC as Output The ANSEL and ANSELH are the analog select registers by default all the analog port in PIC1. F6. 90 are set to analog input not for digital IO, therefore by clearing all bits set to logical 0 in these special function registers we instruct the PIC microcontroller to use all the available analog input as a digital IO port. This is one of important preparation before we use the PIC port for digital IO ANSEL 0 Set PORT ANS0 to ANS7 as Digital IO. ANSELH 0 Set PORT ANS8 to ANS1. Digital IO Inside the empty for statement never ending loop I just assign the PORTC so the LED attached to RC0 on the PICJazz 1. F6. 90 board will on and off and put the delay 2. PORTC 0x. 01 Turn On Port RC0. Delay 2. 00 ms. PORTC 0x. Turn Off Port RC0. Delay 2. 00 ms The NOP instruction is just the no operation instruction for PIC microcontroller, this function is used for setting the break point in the MPLAB IDE simulation before we download the code to the PICJazz 1. F6. 90 board. You can always use this NOP function as many as you like to set the break point as this instruction will not effecting your code and removing it later. Simulating your code. Debugging your code before burning it to the microcontroller is the essential part in developing embedded system using the sophisticated Microchip MPLAB IDE simulation will give you a deep walk through to your code and watch how the PIC microcontroller responding to your code. The good part is you dont have to use any physical microcontroller to use this simulation tool, just your computer and of course the Microchip MPLAB IDE. Ok lets start setting the environment before we start the simulation.
