Code check -- button not working

I have a number of buttons in my program, all are working except for the select button (SD). I have tried hooking the button to a different port with the same problem, I have swapped the button with others and the button itself works. So I am assuming its in the code somewhere.

Im sure there are inefficiencies in the code, let me know if there are really bad ones.

thanks

p.s. I know I havent coded in the 2nd and 3rd hpwm lines yet, I only have 1 color LED hooked up to the board so far.

What's Up DOC?

The SD button is on portb.7, but at the very top TRISB is set to all outputs.

The button command never sees the pin.

HTH,
  Darrel

Isn't the Button command supposed to take care of TRIS settings?

The manual says "Pin is automatically made an input."


http://www.melabs.com/resources/pbpm...5_4-5_6.htm#56

Ill give it a shot. It sounds logical. It may be overriding the button commands ability to make it an input.

Yes, someone keeping me in check. Good.

You're right RRacer, it does say that.

And now I'm back to gee, I don't know. Unless ...

Since there isn't a LOADER_USED define, can I assume you are using ICSP?   And, is the programmer always connected?   Is the programmer conflicting with the RB7 input? Just another thought.

P.S. What chip are you using? 16F737? The ADCON1 seems odd. That won't affect PORTB.7, I'm just trying to figure out what chip it is.

Yes, I am using ICSP. I only have a pin header connected, I disconnect the programmer after each burn.
Like I said, I tried the same button on a pin on the porta side and still the same issue. The button registers voltage when pressed, so its not a hardware fault.

check out the photos of the LED up and in action! Damn, Lamina makes some really bright stuff.

I am back, trying to get this problem solved again. Anyone have any new ideas on why this single button wont work?

Hi,

I would like to see the schematic and know which PIC you are using.

Sougata

I am using the 16F767. The select button (the one not working) is wired just as all the other buttons are, and they all work. So I am pretty confident the hardware is correct. As I stated before, I have tried a different pin, so I dont think that is the problem. I have also taken a volt meter to the output of the button and I get a 4.97 volt reading, so the button itself works.

Hi docwisdom,

A quick glance at your code looked like everthing is okay by the algo. However the algo can be cut down pretty much. So my intensions were to duplicate your circuit since simulation works.

The more peculiar a problem is the more I get interested.

Hope somebody else solves the problem.

Regards

Sougata

sorry sougata, no full diagram has been made yet. My buttons are wired just as shown in the manual. Vin to button, button out to pin of PIC, and also pulled down to ground with a resistor.

when the button is pressed i get voltage, just dont know why the pins not reading high.

I wonder is this has anything to do with RB6 & RB7 being dedicated to
in-circuit DEBUG is this bit is clear in config word?

I have an interesting solution. I retyped it.
Maybe there was a glitch in MCS or something, but I retyped it, just as before and it works great now. Beats the heck out of me.
