Getting Stuck in loop

How neat the signal on PORTA.5 is? Where this signal come from?

How neat the signal on PORTA.5 is? Where this signal come from?

Looking at the signal in question on an o-scope, It looks pretty clean to me. It is connected to a 100K pull-up to 5V. The transition from high to low does have some ringing , that lasts about 90nS give or take, but the peaks are all < 0, so it should still be seen as a low.

Reduce it!!! Let's say ~1-10K pull-up.

AND, wait a few Usec after you detect the falling edge...

Wiat let me correct that... I just looked at the schematic, there is not a pull up on PortA.5. Sorry about that, I did not do the hardware, I am just doing the programming.


I have a 3uS pause after the falling edge (was 1uS, but Alain correct me on that already)

Thanks for all your help so far guys...

I am still learning this digital stuff, and have been slowly making my way up the hill.

A floating input would for sure screw-the-pooch since it returns a random value when
the port pin is read...;o}

Looking at the first post,

I think this could be the issue here.

X var PORTA.5
Y var PORTF.6


REPEAT
UNTIL x = 0  ' X = 1 ;  wait until it is 0.

High y       ' Here, X = 0.

while x = 0 : wend  ' Here, X = 0, wait until it is 1.

REPEAT
UNTIL x = 0  ' X = 1 ;  wait until it is 0. 
        Pauseus 1
		Location1=PortJ

while x = 0 : wend  ' Here, X = 0, wait until it is 1.


REPEAT
UNTIL x = 0         ' X = 1 ;  wait until it is 0. 
        pauseus 1
		CharLow=PortJ

while x = 0 : wend  ' Here, X = 0, wait until it is 1.

REPEAT
UNTIL x = 0
        pauseus 1
		CharHigh=PortJ
		
while x = 0 : wend  ' Here, X = 0, wait until it is 1.

I'll give it a try and see if that helps...
