Re: float number on T6963C GLCD

I have a similar problem, but it looks much simpler. I'm trying to calibrate a range finder and used the code above to try to troubleshoot my program. I am looking for three digit resolution and am instead getting "x.xe-1" on the LCD screen. I am using the LCD screen that comes on the Easypic 6 deve...

Variable Pulse with 50Hz Duty Cycle

I'm trying to get Timer0 set up in order to create a 50Hz duty cycle to control standard hobby servos. The following code has the correct duty cycle and sweeps the pulse width from ~1ms<PW<~2ms. The problem is that PW is low instead of high, and the remainder of the 20ms is high instead of low. I ha...

Servo & Timer0

I pieced together a code that outputs an R/C PWM signal. I had it working correctly until the chip died on the EasyPIC6 board. I replaced it with an identical chip and reprogrammed it. Now, instead of getting a 20ms duty cycle on the oscilloscope, I'm getting a 60us duty cycle. The chip is a 16f876 ...

Re: PWM with Timer0

Here's that post I mentioned might come a little later. The program seems to be working to the extent I have it programmed. All that is but the timer interrupt. I've run the debugger to ensure the proper steps are being taken with all of my assigned variables. Apparently the timer does not function ...

Re: PWM with Timer0

Thanks for the reply. I know the code looks pretty bad but I compile my code frequently just to keep my errors from compounding. The chip is a 28 pin 16f876. I finally figured out that instead of using the register name in the datasheet (TMR0IF), that I have to use T0IF. I'm used to a different comp...

PWM with Timer0

I'm working on a PWM program to run four servos, however when I compile it I get the error, "Operator '.' is not applicable to these operands 'INTCON' ". The error refers to line 9 and 11, and the way I reference TMR0IF. Apparently I can't use INTCON.TMR0IF, or even just TMR0IF without getting an er...

Re: Servo & PWM Setup

This is what I have so far. I'm trying to work around the PWMx_Init() limitation. I still have a problem with the program recognizing inputs from PortA in addition to a decreasing and inverting PWM signal. The only thing that halts this is to press the RA4 button. I'm working with the EasyPIC6 board...

Re: Servo & PWM Setup

Thank you. Half of the problem is finding where in the datasheet to look.

Re: Servo & PWM Setup

The new issue is that while the PWMx_Init(50) was compiling, now it does not. I guess I get to play with timers now.

Re: Servo & PWM Setup

I've tried modifying the example a few times. Below is what I'm trying to run. Do you see anything obviously wrong? My only guess is that I misread the ADCON1 register settings. Otherwise, no matter what I do the servos keep maxing out to the left and are always unresponsive to inputs from PortA. Th...

Servo & PWM Setup

I've recently switched from the CCS compiler to the MikroC compiler. My background is in the design and manufacture of unmanned systems, but not the programming behind them. Historically, I have been able to get things working using the old compiler but after switching, there are enough differences ...
