Fan regulator - Any advise

Hi,

Looking at this interrupt stubb ... it seems translating it into pure ASM interrupt is fairly easy ... as all commands have their straight asm equivalent !!!

BTW ... I do not see DT Interrupts fitting into a '629 ...

BTW ... I do not see DT Interrupts fitting into a '629 ...

I have 12F635 as well, if that helps

Am I missing something? I looked up microchip site for 16F629 ... nothing. Is it a 639 and a 635 you talk about?

As to whether DT instant interrupts fits in a 628 or equivalent, I'm not sure, but I've used assembly language interrupts on a 628. It's very easy once you know.

Hi, Jerson

You should have a strong coffee ...

DEVICE 12F629
CONFIG INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT, WDT_OFF, PWRTE_ON, BODEN_OFF, CP_OFF, MCLRE_OFF
...
...

lol ...

For DT interrupts ... the problem is the RAM size, not the Program size ...

So, a 12Fxxx with enough RAM ( 12F683 i.e. ) is Ok

It won't fit into a 16F84 nor ...

Hi Alain - I really needed coffee. Too much stress I guess. I mistook it for a 16F device!!! haha

OTOH 64 bytes RAM should be good enough to do asm interrupts no?

This is what I did with the 16F628 interrupts.

' define the interrupt handler
define      INTHAND       _IntHandler
' These variables are used to save the machine state on interrupt
wsave       var byte    $20     SYSTEM          ' location for W if in bank0
wsave1      var byte    $A0     SYSTEM          ' location for W if in bank1
wsave2      var byte    $120    SYSTEM          ' location for W if in bank2
ssave       var byte    BANK0   SYSTEM          ' location for STATUS register
psave       var byte    BANK0   SYSTEM          ' location for PCLATH register
fsave       var byte    BANK0   SYSTEM          ' location for FSR register

IntHandler:
asm
      movwf   wsave           ; Save the W register
      swapf   STATUS, W
      clrf    STATUS          ; Point to bank 0
      movwf   ssave           ; Save the STATUS register
      movf    PCLATH, W       ; Save PCLATH
      movwf   psave
      movlw   ((INTHAND) >> 8)        ; Set PCLATH for jump
      movwf   PCLATH

      btfss INTCON, INTF    ; branch if PULSEIN arrived
      goto  EndInt

; your code goes here

      ; restore the machine context
EndInt
      movf  fsave,w         ;restore the FSR
      movwf FSR
      movf  psave,w         ;restore PCH
      movwf PCLATH
      swapf ssave, W        ;restore STATUS
      movwf STATUS
      swapf wsave, F
      swapf wsave, W        ;restore W
      retfie
endasm

I have not checked the datasheet for the banks used in the 12F629, but the wsave registers may need to change accordingly. Otherwise, the context save and restore takes just 4 bytes of RAM !!!!

That also answers Damien as to the code needed for the CONTEXT RESTORE of proton
