Problem using ASM instruction

Hello !

I'm using a PIC12F675 to emulate a IR remote control, using a ASM routine to create 38Khz - 40 Khz pulses extracted from a microchip app.note (Keith Curtis AN91094).
The program compiles with no problem, but didn't work at all.

I've tried many code variations, but it still didn't work, poor me!!
Is there some trick with the compiler? setup or something?

Did someone use only PB instead of using ASM subroutines?

Please HELP!!!!

There is my last try...

@ DEVICE pic12F675, WDT_ON
@ DEVICE pic12F675, PWRT_ON

@ DEVICE pic12F675, BOD_ON

the main problem lies in your config settings. Your current setting imply you're using an external <4-8MHz crystal.

just change XT_OSC to INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT

are you sure of the AN number? any link to it?

EDIT: there's also something you want to make sure of... when you use BCF/BSF, you have to make sure you're in the right BANK unless you may just set/clear another register. Under each of your 2 ASM line, just add CHK?RP GPIO and see if it do something better. And for safety sake, change Cycles VAR BYTE to Cycles VAR BYTE BANK0.

Tks for your quick response Mr e!

But I am really using an external 3.56... MHZ xtal.
It will work if I change my code to use internal OSC instead of external Xtal ?

Well there's a few mistake in your code anyways...

First, you check for a High level for your push-button... fine, but you enable the internal pull-up... thus this 'should' always consider that there's one push button pressed.

Next, you never loop in your code.. there's on missing GOTO LOOP.. this results in stack underflow.

Assuming your push button are connected between, gnd and the I/O and GND, using the internal weak-pull-ups, i would bet the following will work

Code:

I may feel some incoming timing problem(s)

I didn`t have much time to test the solution the last days...
But finally I did, and it works great!!!

Many Tks Mr E.

Ps. I have to did some modifications regarding Pulse and Dark times as you mencioned.
