Data from DS1307 (BCD) saved to ext memory and read back to display
Hi there,
I have setup a 16F690 reading a DS1307's time and date (I use RA2/INT interrupt to trigger the process every second), save this data to an external 24LC64 memory, read back what has just been written from the memory and display it.
If I bypass the I2CWRITE/I2CREAD commands, the DS1307 displays time correctly.
But, like in the code here under, after saving RTC's time to the memory, this is what I get after reading back the data from the external memory:
Attachment 8269
Data from DT1307 is in BCD format and data conversion, that's where I think I'm wrong, is not my cup of tea :(
What am I missing?

Re: Data from DS1307 (BCD) saved to ext memory and read back to display
Hi Roger, I'm no expert, but maybe this can be of some use.
I have these variables to display the time on an LCD
Code:
TimeH var byte 'variable to store Hours
TimeM var byte 'variable to store Minutes
SS VAR Byte 'variable to store Seconds
RTCsec var byte 'RTC Seconds
RTCMin var byte 'RTC Minutes
RTCHour var byte 'RTC Hours
I then read the DS1307 and convert the BDC value into time as follows
Code:
I2CRead SDApin,SCLpin,$D0,$00,[RTCSec,RTCMin,RTCHour] ' read the RTC
timeH=(RTCHour>>4) 'convert the BCD format of the hours register and store in variable timeH
timeH=(timeH &$03)*10
timeH=timeH+(RTCHour&$0F)
timeM=(RTCMin>>4) 'convert the BCD format of the mins register and store in variable timeM
timeM=(timeM &$07)*10
timeM=timeM+(RTCMin&$0F)
ss=(RTCSec>>4) 'convert the BCD format of the sec register and store in variable ss
ss=(ss &$07)*10
ss=ss+(RTCSec&$0F)
LCDOut $FE,$C0+11,#TimeH DIG 1,#TimeH DIG 0,":",#TimeM DIG 1,#TimeM DIG 0 'display the current time on the LCD
Now maybe (I don't know as I've never written to an external e-prom) you can save the byte variables for TimeH, TimeM and SS with something like
Code:
I2Cwrite SDApin,SCLpin,$insert address of eeprom,[TimeH,TimeM,SS]
Like I said, I'm no expert, and may be sending you off on a tangent !!
Forgot to add, this is the routine to convert to BDC if required
Code:
CounterA=SetMN
Gosub ConvertBCD
RTCMin=CounterB
CounterA=SetHR
Gosub ConvertBCD
RTCHour=CounterB
I2Cwrite SDApin,SCLpin,$D0,$00,[RTCSec,RTCMin,RTCHour]
ConvertBCD:
CounterB=CounterA DIG 1 ' CounterA is the entry variable
CounterB=CounterB<<4 ' CounterB holds the converted BCD result on exit
CounterB=CounterB+CounterA DIG 0
Return
CounterA and CounterB are byte variables, as are setHR and setMN. I used these as the initial time to display on the LCD. For example I want to set the initial time to 12:00 I use 12 for setHR and 0 for setMN. If you need to convert from decimal to BDC before sending to the eepprom, then maybe this bit of code can help ??
Re: Data from DS1307 (BCD) saved to ext memory and read back to display
Malcom is nearly correct
Quote:
I2Cwrite SDApin,SCLpin,$insert address of eeprom,[TimeH,TimeM,SS]
should be
Quote:
I2Cwrite SDApin,SCLpin,$a0,eprom_location,[TimeH,TimeM,SS]
where :- for a 24lc64 8k bytes and 32 byte page size
1. eprom_location must be a word var
2. eprom_location must be < 8192
3. ( eprom_location//page_size ) < (32 -number_of_bytes to write ) ie don't try to write past a page boundary
ps can't see the need for bcd - bin - bcd conversions though

Roger stated that the RTC uses BDC format, which needs converting

I presume that once you've converted the BDC format and stored them into variables as decimal values for hours and minutes you would then simply write those to the external memory, although they would need to be word variables, so would this be correct ?
Code:
I2Cwrite SDApin,SCLpin,$a0,eprom_location,[TimeH.lowbyte, TimeH.highbyte,TimeM.lowbyte, TimeM.highbyte,SS.lowbyte, SS.highbyte]
Assuming TimeH, TimeM and SS are all declared as word variables

I thought only the address variable must be WORD sized? :confused:

Re: Data from DS1307 (BCD) saved to ext memory and read back to display
Well,
I'm still making some mistake somewhere.
The display says now "55:55:55".
If I bypass the I2CWRITE and I2CREAD commands, everything is fine :frown:

Re: Data from DS1307 (BCD) saved to ext memory and read back to display
Address should be word or byte variable, not constant.
Code:
MemAdr var word
MemAdr =0
' Write to external memory
I2CWRITE SDA,SCL,$A0,MemAdr ,[RTC_Sec,RTC_Min,RTC_Hou]
PAUSE 10
'Read from external memory
I2CREAD SDA,SCL,$A0,MemAdr ,[RTC_Sec,RTC_Min,RTC_Hou]
EDIT:
Constant works for clock, as PBP send minimum 8 bits, but it wont work for EEPROM as it expecting 16bits.
I mention that in another topic.
Re: Data from DS1307 (BCD) saved to ext memory and read back to display
I have a project that sends values from 0 to 4096 to an 16 channel PWM led driver chip, and this is a sample line of code
Code:
I2CWRITE SDApin,SCLpin,i2cWriteAddress,i2cControl,[0,0,CH1_PWM.lowbyte,CH1_PWM.highbyte]
The reference to word variables I made was because your external eprom is expecting 16 bit values for the data, hence my reference to making your TimeH, TimeM and TimeS word variables, and trying the lowbyte / highbyte approach. - Like I mentioned in my first reply, I'm no expert, and this may be taking you off tangent, but then again, might be worth trying

Okay, I haven't declared the address as a variable at all.
So I'll give it a try a little later (I'm in the office right now).

This is confusing me. I think the 24LC64 needs data in BYTE format as where it's addresses are in WORD format.
Re: Data from DS1307 (BCD) saved to ext memory and read back to display
That is correct. The 24LC64 data is 8 bits wide per individual location. CH1_PWM.lowbyte,CH1_PWM.highbyte is the correct way to sequentially load data into the eeprom if the variable is a word.
Defining eeprom address made it work
It works!
I declared the EEPROM address as WORD, replaced the $00 in the I2CWRITE and I2CREAD commands and now the result is okay.
Thanks a lot for the help :smile:

Thank you Dave for explaining the WORD sized eeprom data.
Before I started this thread, I didn't know about "packed BDC". I think it can be interesting to reduce data size especially when, like in my current project, time data has to be stored in external memory.
