Write and Read from eeprom

I have the below code (one part of code).
My problem is when turn off the power and after turn on again , don't save the value P in the eeprom always.Why;
I use 16f88

Code:

P VAR WORD 'value of the divider FLAG VAR BYTE READ 3,FLAG IF FLAG = 55 THEN READ 1,P.BYTE0 ' Divider READ 2,P.BYTE1 ELSE P= 256 ' value of the divider ENDIF .. .. .. .. .. '************************** CHOICE OF THE DIVIDER *********************** PREDIV: LCDOUT $FE,1,"* DIVIDER *" LCDOUT $FE,$C0," P = ",#P LOOP: BUTTON PLUS,0,10,5,B1,1,PICK ' Goes to PICK if press the button BUTTON BMENU,0,255,0,B4,1,MEN PAUSE 100 GOTO LOOP PICK: IND = IND + 1 IF IND< 9 THEN CHOIX IND= 0 GOTO CHOIX CHOIX: LOOKUP2 IND,[1,10,16,32,40,64,80,128,256],P WRITE 3 , 55 WRITE 1 , P.BYTE0 ' SAVE The VALUE OF P WRITE 2 , P.BYTE1 PAUSE 100 GOTO MAIN

Yassou Niko!

If the power is taken before the Write commands, then it is possible to loose the values. When do you power off the device?

I turn off the power after enough (>30 sec) time when change the value

Time is not the most critical point. If the program never makes it to the Write commands, then it sure will never store the values to EEPROM.

I had a similar problem and fixed it by using two variables. Do not know why this worked, but I have used this routine for some time now.

Code:

cnt var byte Pb1 var word Pset var word READ 0,Pset.BYTE0 READ 1,Pset.BYTE1 Pb1 = Pset C_P: for cnt = 1 to 1 Pb1=Pb1+1 WRITE 0,Pb1.BYTE0 WRITE 1,Pb1.BYTE1 READ 0,Pset.BYTE0 READ 1,Pset.BYTE1 pause 100 next RETURN

Maybe all you need is the count routine to ensure that the data is being written?

I have 4 routines to write and read

Need to add the : Include "Modedefs.Bas" ;

That would do it. Was scratching my head...

read write to eeprom

hello ya all,

I have been at this for 3 days and nights now, i give up, I need help.

Its simple in the pbp manual and from what Ive read in this forum, but to no luck. heres the details, not in the exact order

pbp 2.47
Include "modedefs.bas" ' is included
DISABLE ' to turn off interupts even though i never hae used them
DEFINE OSC 4
TRISA = %11011
TRISB = %11011011

The problem is somtimes it works and somtimes it dosn't. When I read back the data after i write it, it reads correct. but after Ive turned it off and back on it comes up with weird numbers, random numbers. I send it to and lcd through serout2, and also receive a command or two. but I dont think the problem is there because other data shows up fine. the exact full code will be down below, but for now to point out where I think the problem is.

WRITEIT:

WRITE 0,T0
READ 0,T0
WRITE 1,T1
READ 1,T1
WRITE 2,P0
READ 2,P0
WRITE 3,P1
READ 3,P1
WRITE 4,C0
READ 4,C0
WRITE 5,C1
READ 5,C1
RETURN

If my problem is somewhere else then Please point it out, cause I have tried everything. I am not one to give up easy, so for me to be here asking for help is rare. I am not an expert at pbp, but I do my best and can do almost everything I set out to do. here is the rest of my code

What PIC are you using?
What are you using for pullup values going out to the EEPROM?

reply

Its the internal eeprom of the pic16f84a

uhh...der...it sure is...dumb question on my part...

Break it down, get it simple, get rid of all of that other stuff in your program, make something seriously simple, and build it back up. There is a bit of a logic error in your program that'll probably cause your symptoms.

ok, I did it

Thank you for your quick help on this

Ok I did as you suggested

I made a new file, and slowly added until I had a problem. I'm not sure if this is the problem with my "write" but I wouldn't doubt it, due to some sort of overflow.

here I am trying to get a percentage of a word sized integer

percent=35
example: A=65535 * .35 or A=(65535*100) /35

'-----------
A = TOTAL * 100 'A is temporary storage of computation
A = DIV32 PERCENT 'using DIV32... B can be any integer up to 65534
'-----------

if total=100 wouldn't A=35 ???

I'm not familiar with DIV32 at all, I read up on it and understand somewhat how it works, becuase PBP can't deal with numbers larger than a "word" it uses this as a temperary variable so that people like me can do this type of math, right ?

EEPROM and index ...

Hi, Jason

Did you had a look to THAT Thread ???

http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1078

Alain

uuuuuh ?????

WOW

I think that is my problem here. However I only understood a little bit of it.

Why is this so complicated just to store a word ?

OK, so I thought storing total.byte0 in location 0 and then storing total.byte1 in location 1 would handle the whole word right ?
'----------------------------------------------------------------------
total=33024 or total.byte0=10000000 and total.byte1=11111111
write 0,total.byte0
write 1,total.byte1

If so then in location 0 would be 10000000 and in location 1 would be 11111111
or is this wrong ?

if it is right then I can't get that data back the same way ?

read 0,total.byte0
read 1,total.byte1

total=33024

if not then what ???? I'm more confused then before, but I think your on the right track

total=33024
Binary(33024) = %1000000100000000
total.BYTE1 = %10000001
total.BYTE0 = %00000000

And there be the logic error I thought I saw earlier...
Now build you program up and see what happens...then we can work on optimizing that program a bit. I looks a bit of a mess...not too bad, but could be better...

just an example,

thank you for setting me straight, however that didnt answer my question. am i reading the data back to "total" correctly ?

Did you try it out yet?

yep

Hello skimask

Yes Ive been working on your suggestion this whole time, But did get side tracked with one of those replys. so here is the conclusion if I take out "IF COINOUT = 1 THEN COINOUT100" from the main loop it works fine. but I dont see what is wrong there. I dont even have any coins going out while I'm testing this to cause a problem. But ive programed the pic and tested it about 4 times now. every time I take it out of the loop it works fine

COINOUT100:
PREMIOS=PREMIOS+1
TOTAL=TOTAL-1
GOSUB WRITEIT
GOTO LOOP

that math was wrong but I figured it out. However even if I take that clear out it still wouldn't write correctly

A = TOTAL * PERCENT
A = DIV32 100

so I keeped working until I came to that conclusion

here is the code in its cut down version with the problem quoted out

Get a few more Colon's in there and we're gonna be in deep ____.

Or have a cancer problem. :eek:
<br>

What happens, if you switch off the power ?
Maybe the code just think, the switch is pressed and try to write to the eeprom - while power is falling...

BigWumpus's was right !!!

Yep that is my problem.

if I take out the "write" it saves fine

COINOUT100:
PREMIOS=PREMIOS+1:if total > 0 then TOTAL=TOTAL-1
:GOTO LOOP 'GOSUB WRITEIT

So I did a little checking and the machine I'm interfacing to sends several signals as its lossing power, somthing to do with a cheap design cause theres no other reason. I will buy a scope to see if its a specific signal or just random crap. I think its just random crap cuase if I hook a anolog counter to it, it counts up to differrent amounts somtime 3 somtimes up to 6.

As to my messy code design, I'm sorry skimask. I have never had any training of any kind nor has anyone ever showed me how to write decent code. This is the first time in 15 years I have ever been on a forum for basic, quickbasic, visual basic, or pic basic pro.

I am one to learn things on my own, but as you pointed out (at my messy code) that type of learning has its problems. I do my best

I will continue this forum experience, Its al right. thank you all for your help with this one.

And thank you BigWumpus for figuring this one out for me......
