    Hi,
    The interrupt can be triggered on either the rising or falling edge of the signal connected to PortB.0 (ie the interrupt fires when the signal changes state). You select rising/falling edge by setting or clearing OPTION_REG.6

    If, during normal operation, the signal connected to PortB.0 is high and it goes low when there's a problem you want to set it up so it interrupts on the falling edge. (OPTION_REG.6 = 0)

    Yes, to test it, pull up PortB.0 with a resistor and use a switch/button/whatever to pull it low and trig the interrupt. Note that you are likely to get some contact bounce with a mecanical switch/button which may trig the interrupt several time for each press of the button.

    Default Re: 3 channel PWM with customize duty cycle

    hi,
    i try to test my simple interrupt on my real PIC simulation.
    below is my codes:

    Code:
    led     VAR     PORTC.4
    
            TRISB.0 = 1 'set port bo to input
            ON INTERRUPT GoTo myint ' Define interrupt handler
            INTCON = %10010000      'Enable RB0 INTERRUPT
            OPTION_REG.6 = 0        'Interrupt on rising edge of RB0/INT pin
    
    loop:   High led                ' Turn LED on
            GoTo loop               ' Do it forever
    
    
    ' Interrupt handler
            Disable                 ' No interrupts past this point
    myint:  
    Low led                 ' If we get here, turn LED off
            'Pause   500             ' Pause .5 seconds        
            INTCON.1 = 0            ' Clear interrupt flag
            Resume                  ' Return to main program
            Enable
            
            End
    turns out when i enable Pause my interrupt works ok but i turns off pause it wont interrupt at all.
    Please help explain what cause the problem.

    Hi,
    I bet it works just fine. It's just that when you don't have the Pause there you don't see it becase the main routine keeps turning ON the LED all the time.

    The interrupt routine turns it OFF and a couple of microseconds later the main routine turns it ON again.

    Hi,

    OIC. tq
    So, i notice that the led will turn off whenever the faultsignal is change BUT after a few milisec it turns ON back.
    The problem on my design is that i dont know how much time the fault signal will be interrupted before it back to normal operation

    What should i do if i want the led to turn off until the fault signal back to normal operation which 5V again?

    any example for me?

    Like I said, it turns ON again because YOU turn it on in your main loop - continously. If you don't want it to turn on again then stop turning it on. Set it one time, before you enter the loop.

    If you want it to trig (turn off the LED) with an interrupt but then start "working" again as soon as the fault signal "goes away" then simply read the state of the pin in your Main routine and turn on the LED once it's high:
    Code:
    Main:
    If PortB.0 = 1 THEN     'Turn on LED only when signal is high.
      HIGH LED
    ENDIF
    'Do whatever else needs to be done.
    Goto Main
    If want it to trig with an interrupt and stay off untill another input "restart it" then use a flag/semaphore:
    Code:
    FAULT VAR BIT
    LED VAR PortC.4
    Restart VAR PortC.5   'Pulled up thru resistor, pull to GND to "activate"
     
    High LED
     
    Main:
     If Fault = 1 then            'If we are in fault state...
      If Restart = 0 then        '...we check the restart button....
       HIGH LED                '....if it's pressed we turn LED on again...
       Fault = 0                '...and reset the fault flag/state
      ENDIF
     ENDIF
    'Do whatever else here.
    Goto Main
    Then, in your interrupt routine you turn off the LED and set the Fault flag, like:
    Code:
    LOW LED
    Fault = 1    'Set flag
    Finally, be careful with the word Loop as a label, in newer versions of PBP that is a reserved word and can't be used as a label, what version are you using.

    Hi,

    thank you for the example.
    Then, i add-up CCP1CON = %00000000 in the interrupt handler in order to turn off the pwm for a while. Turns out that after it come back to normal operation, the pwm keep turning off.

    Code:
    DEFINE OSC 20
    Phase       VAR BYTE[3]       ' Array used as pointers into lookuptable.
    DutyCycle   VAR WORD[3]       ' Array storing the dutycycles retreived from the table
    Temp        VAR WORD          ' Temporary variable to avoid hard to understand array indexing
    i           VAR BYTE          ' General purpose counter
    led            VAR PORTC.4
    TRISC.2 = 0         ' Set PORTC.2 (CCP1) to output
    TRISC.1 = 0
    
    CCP1CON = %00001100 ' Set CCP1 to PWM 
    CCP2CON = %00001100
    
    T2CON = %00000101   ' Turn on Timer2, Prescale=4
    PR2 = 249             ' Set PR2 to get 5KHz out
    TRISB.0 = 1 'set port bo to input
    
    ' The lookup table has 45 entries long, to get 120° phase shift we need to
    ' "start" the second phase at 1/3 of the cycle and the third phase at 2/3
    ' of the table. 45/3=15 so first phase starts at 0, second phase at 15
    ' and third phase at 30.
    ' Initilise pointers.
    Phase[0] = 0 : Phase[1] = 15 
    
    
    High PORTC.3    'Set the initial state for portc.3
    Low PORTC.0        'Same

    ON INTERRUPT GoTo faultsignal     
    INTCON = %10010000             'Enable RB0 INTERRUPT
    OPTION_REG.6 = 0                  'Interrupt on rising edge of RB0/INT pin

     GoSub SetDutyCycle          ' Set the three PWM modules accordingly
    EndIF
    
    
    ' Now increment the individual table pointers and make sure they wrap
    ' around to zero when they reach the end of the table. That way they
    ' will always stay 62 "steps" (120°) from each other.
    
      
      For i = 0 TO 1
        Phase[i] = Phase[i] + 1
        IF Phase[i] > 44 Then 
        Phase[i] = 0                     'When pointer is > 44 we need to wrap around to 0.
        GoSub ChangeBridgeDrive         'One phase is starting over, go change the outputs.

      Next

    INTCON.1 = 0                 'Clear INTERRUPT flag
    
    Resume                         'Return TO main program
    Enable                         'Enable interrupts after handler
     
    
    End
    seem like it wont go back to main program.

    Hi,
    I'm starting to get frustrated here.... The PIC won't do anything you don't tell it to. If you shut down the PWM it will stay off until you turn it on again. Obviously you must turn it back on again when you want it to turn back on.

    Right now you retrive the dutycycle values and set the dutycycle registers but the PWM is left off because you don't turn it on.
