Hey all.. how are you.. hope ur doin well..
my problem z dat i wana generate pulses with specific frequency... the code should take interruption from the user (keypad) so that if he/she presses pad1, frequency changes to 1 hz.. if he/she presses pad2, then frequency changes to 10 hz, 3 gives 50 hz, 4 gives 100 hz.... i need it as soon as possible... and thnx for your help and support :)
Since you posted on the Wish list, this could be a pious hope!
Also don not expect some one to write your code and give it to your plate. We have bussiness to take care off!
Try something and sure we will give a hand.

what's a frequency.. it's just some hig and low pulse of a certain length.
- Now you should know how to calculate the frequency period? This gives you some info about how much time the pulse will be high, then low
- Easy to use Keypad routine, just plug it into your code and enjoy!

=================================================
1) the problem is that by using this code, generated pulses cud not change using the interrupt code.. which i cudnt fix!!!! this is where i need help...
{at the begining, i need the code to check for the pressed keypad and loop as the corresponding frequency... then the code should check for any interruption from the user if he/she pressed any key.. if he pressed any other key, the frequency should change accordingly,,, if not it should cont looping to generate the previous frequency}
2) another thing is that i need ur help in understanding the concept of working of the keypad connection diagram (when we press the keypad, does it give 1 or 0)
i jst wud like 2 add one more thing which is that im using PIC16F877A microcontroller with its "LABX1, learning board" which means that keypads r already there installed and ready to use...
I don't know about the LABX1 board, so cannot help you on that.
About the other matter, as stated, and if I understood it correctly, you need to have a clean frequency at the output while checking the keyboard with PBP interrupts?
I think it is not going to work as expected, since the PBP interrupts are slow and will introduce jitter at the output.
I believe it would be easier to use just four inputs and 4 buttons and check these while you have the output High or low and you are waiting for the respective time to exprire.
Like this:
loop:
High output
gosub check_buttons
pause xx msec (you have to find the best value here)
low output
pause yy msec (you have to find the best value here)
goto loop
check_buttons
if but1=0 then
xx=value1:yy=value1a
return
endif
if but2=0 then
xx=value2:yy=value2a
return
endif
if but3=0 then
xx=value3:yy=value3a
return
endif
if but4=0 then
xx=value4:yy=value4a
return
endif
return
Now you have to find by trial and error the most accurate values for the value1 through value4a
P.S. Experienced programmers might laugh at the above example, but I think you have to start with something simple before jump into interrupts. If you really need interrupts, consider Darrel Taylors Instant Interrupts. The definite solution.

i totally agreed with u Ioannis
1 hz.. if he/she presses pad2, then frequency changes to 10 hz, 3 gives 50 hz, 4 gives 100
f=1/T so you can find T for each of your freqs
that would then be pause xx etc
