Elapsed Timer Demo in a PIC12F675

[Leonardo]

Hello,

How to use the Elapsed Timer Demo in a PIC12F675 to maintain a on led by 5 days and then goes off. ¿It is possible to do this?

[Charles Linquis]

If you just want 5 days then -

LED = ON

For X = 1 to 7200 (60 minutes/hour X 24 hours/day X 5 days)
PAUSE 60000 ; one minute
Next X

LED = OFF

Hey Charles,

Thanks for your answer but my concern is whether you can do with the Elapsed Timer because it seems to me a good idea.

Thanks

Hi, Leonardo

looks Still some way to reach Leonard's code ...

ALL you have to do is check each second ( or min, if not so precise required !!!) Days-hours-mins-secs ( which are already existing variables ) and match your own values.

But forget the // LCD screen ...

Hello Acetronics,

You can give me an idea or an example to start.

Thank you

Hello,
This is the code I've tested with 1 minute and works well, then put 7200 can achieve the 5 days with a good presicion?.

HIGH LED1

Top:

For X = 1 to 1 '(60 minutes/hour X 24 hours/day X 5 days)
PAUSE 60000 ; one minute
Next X

LOW LED1

Thank you

The accuracy will be good if you are not using the internal oscillator. You need a crystal or external "can" oscillator for better than 2-3%. If you need really good accuracy, you can (temporarily) shorten the time interval to one day (or so) and compare it to a clock. For example: if you are 1.3% "fast" then increase the value after the PAUSE by 1.3% (60780). That should get you close enough.

[Darrel Taylor]

Yup, that'll work.
As long as it's the only thing the chip will be doing.

But to answer the original question...

CLEAR
LED        VAR GPIO.0
CMCON = 7
ANSEL = 0

Include "Elapsed.bas"

Gosub ResetTime                ' Reset Time to  0d-00:00:00.00
Gosub StartTimer               ' Start the Elapsed Timer

HIGH LED                         ; Start with LED on

Loop:
    if DaysChanged then  
       DaysChanged = 0
       if Days = 5 then LOW LED  ; Turn off LED
    endif
Goto Loop

Or you can add a blinky LED to show that it's still counting...

CLEAR
LED        VAR GPIO.0
StatLED    VAR GPIO.1
CMCON = 7
ANSEL = 0

Include "Elapsed.bas"

Gosub ResetTime                ' Reset Time to  0d-00:00:00.00
Gosub StartTimer               ' Start the Elapsed Timer

HIGH LED                         ; Start with LED on

Loop:
    if DaysChanged then  
       DaysChanged = 0
       if Days = 5 then LOW LED  ; Turn off LED
    endif
    
    IF SecondsChanged then
       SecondsChanged = 0
       Toggle StatLED
    endif

    ; Rest of the program goes here
Goto Loop

And you can still do other stuff at the same time.

Hey Darrel,

In compiling I get this error because it will be.

open ASM_INTS.bas file, there you'll discover ..

' --- IF any of these three lines cause an error ??  Simply Comment them out to fix the problem ----
wsave1      var byte    $A0     SYSTEM          ' location for W if in bank1

Steve,

Did not take into account the memory banks and compiles well, will do some tests and the results then I said.

Thank you

[Leonardo]

Steve,

I've done some testing with minutes and works extremely well using a 4-MHz crystal, the oscillator's internal PIC12F675 is not very accurate there is any way to use it with good presicion?.

Thank you

[Darrel Taylor]

Try adding ...

DEFINE OSCCAL_1K 1

when using the internal OSC.

[Leonardo]

Steve,

Perform tests on a 4-MHz external crystal setting 1 hour and was led off in 56:41 minutes of taking a delay time of 3:06 minutes. Is it normal that delay?.

Thank you

[mister_e]

Can't tell, i never used it before. Would be of great help if you could post the whole schematic, code and configuration fuses.

I would guess you just use the internal OSC... probably where the huge gap come from.

Steve,
I'm using an external 4MHz crystal and the code is this for PIC12F675.

[HTML]CLEAR
LED VAR GPIO.0
CMCON = 7
ANSEL = 0

Include "Elapsed.bas"

Gosub ResetTime ' Reset Time to 0d-00:00:00.00
Gosub StartTimer ' Start the Elapsed Timer

HIGH LED ; Start with LED on

Loop:
if HoursChanged then
HoursChanged = 0
if Hours = 1 then LOW LED ; Turn off LED
endif
Goto Loop[/HTML]

Hello,

I doubt arises as to obtain such a delay of 1:20 hours and minutes.

Thanks
