    Default Hot to handle multiple interrupt sources?

    Hi guys, I'm working on a project and using PIC16F877A. I need to use multiple interrupts sources as TMR0, TMR1, RB0 etc. but i don't know how to proccess them in different interrupt routines. Is there any way to direct them to releated interrupt routine other than polling their interrupt flags?
    I mean, I know following codes won't work but is there a way to use interrupts like following codes,

    Code:
    ON TMR0 INTERRUPT GOTO tmr0_int
    ON TMR1 INTERRUPT GOTO tmr1_int
    ON RB0 INTERRUPT GOTO rb0_int
    Or do I must use polling methode like following

    Code:
    ON INTERRUPT GOTO INTCHCK
    ....
    ....
    INTCHCK:
    IF INTCON.2=1 THEN
    GOTO tmr0_int
    ENDIF
    IF PIR.0=1 THEN
    GOTO tmr1_int
    ENDIF
    IF INTCON.0=1 THEN
    GOTO rb0_int
    ENDIF
    PS: I would not prefer polling methode since it will lose time while checking flags, it would be great if there is a way to run releated interrupt subroutine directly like some other microcontroller models

    I haven't seen that, it may help me a lot, thanks.

    Hi,
    DT-INTS is probably the best way to go but to answer the original question you do need to poll the individual interrupt request flags, there simply is no way around that because there is only one interrupt vector in the PIC12/16/18 (not counting high/low priority). Some microcontrollers have, like you say, an interrupt vector for each interrups source but these PICs doesn't so the only way to determine the cause of the interrupt is to poll the flags. If you're going with DT-Ints it does that for you though.

    /Henrik.

    I think that for the PIC16f877A you will need DT_INTS-14 version, not the DT_INTS-18 (which is only for the 18 series devices, I believe). Both versions, and a few other useful things, can be found here: http://dt.cambs.net/
    Perhaps these things should find their way into the WIKI?
    It's always a hunting trip to find and figure out the latest versions, but worth the effort when you eventually get there.

    Thanks for answers, I didn't know PIC doesn't have different interrupt vectors, I thought it has. I tried DT-INTS on my codes with only 1 source interrupt. It kinda worked but not as it has to be.. It's working as it has to when I don't use DT-INTS but it's working in an unexpected way when I use DT-INTS. I don't know why...

    Ok, I'm explaining what I'm trying to do, my codes are little bit long.
    I'm controlling 6 motors seperately and applying them PWM signals by using TMR0, I'm getting encoder data back and counting them to control positions of motors.
    Here is my first code without DT-INTS, I'm compiling them with PBP247, I want to count 50 pulses from each to get them correct position and make them spin for 1 quarter round, and it's working as it has to be.

    Code:

    Hello

    Have you seen this for control of more than one RC servo.

    http://www.darreltaylor.com/DT_INTS-14/SPWM.html

    Another in the Wiki section.

    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/cont...th-2-I-O-lines

    Edit.: Never mind I see from the code you are using servos with encoders

    I'd suggest getting one motor working first, keep your code as simple as possible as a start. Once that works, add a second motor and see if timing remains stable.

    Figure out if issue is in timer interrupt, or having multiple motors.

    Robert

    Edit: Why GOSUB Encounter? It's only called once that I can see. Why not just plug in the subroutine at the GOSUB?

    main loop is STANDUP in this code, and program remains in that main loop until all motors get into position, ENCOUNTER subroutine is called every time loop starts, and I'm counting pulses from encoders with it. My encoders giving a pulse every 5ms at full speed and controller can complete that loop in microseconds, so controller can catch up any pulse and count it or thats what I thought =)
    But I still have question marks in my mind, I didn't change the code in the end, just added DT-INTS and I belive I added them into code properly, but result is not right. I wonder if there are some tips or things about usage of DT-INTS

    These are problems I observed in my code with DT-INTS;
    1- There is 3 seconds pause command after defining variables and before start motor controls but motors are starting to run directly when i plug the power cable.
    2- Program cannot go out of STANDUP loop until all of encoders give 50 pulses but although I unplugged4 motors from system without changing the code, remaining 2 motors running , then pausing (not pausing from the start, it looks like it pauses after a jump) and running again and pausing ....
    3- As far as I see, program is not giving a thing about main program and ENCOUNTER subroutine
    4- Interrupt subroutine is working, because motors cannot run before int routine run but nothing else is running...

    I just cant see what is the problem here, maybe I should give up on DT-INTS and use polling methode for multiple interrupts

    I think Timer starts at top with INT_ENABLE.

    You have PAUSE 3 seconds at bottom of main loop (no idea why).

    DT-INT is by far the easiest method to control interrupts, especially when you have more than one.

    As I said, make a copy of your program and keep code for only 1 motor until you debug your logic. Then add 1 motor and see how that goes. Then all 6 only when logic is perfect.

    Start small. Have you tried DT's beginner examples?

    Edit: I don't see where you set T1CON.

    This is all you need to blink an LED.

    Code:
    LED1   VAR  PORTB.1
    
    INCLUDE "DT_INTS-14.bas"     ' Base Interrupt System
    INCLUDE "ReEnterPBP.bas"     ' Include if using PBP interrupts
    
    ASM
    INT_LIST  macro    ; IntSource,        Label,  Type, ResetFlag?
            INT_Handler   TMR1_INT,  _ToggleLED1,   PBP,  yes
        endm
        INT_CREATE               ; Creates the interrupt processor
    ENDASM
    
    T1CON = $31                ; Prescaler = 8, TMR1ON
    @ INT_ENABLE  TMR1_INT     ; enable Timer 1 interrupts
    
    Main:
      PAUSE 1
    GOTO Main
    
    '---[TMR1 - interrupt handler]--------------------------------------------------
    ToggleLED1:
         TOGGLE LED1
    @ INT_RETURN

    This was my trial code, I wrote it with only 1 interrupt source to try DT-INTS so I didn't use TMR1 or any other interrupt source in this code, if I can make this code work then i'll use other sources. I only used TMR0 and set it at the very beginning with "OPTION_REG=%10000100" then providing an interrupt with "TMR0=255"
    Pauses are for observing the system, so I can observe rotation amount before it starts run again.
    timer may be starting with INT_ENABLE as you said, I'll check it, and I'll apply a few more tests too. I'll report results here.
    I didn't try DT beginner examples because I didn't need them but I think I should try them to understand it's logic better.

    Ok now, something very funny and absurd has happened Before explaining everything, I want to thank again everybody for their help.
    I started to test codes and tried to find where was the exact problem. First of all, yes Robert you were right TMR0 instantly starting to run after "@ INT_ENABLE TMR0_INT" I replaced it's location first and then while looking for problem, I figured out that program is running "STANDUP" and "ENCOUNTER" programs only once, then I stopped calling "ENCOUNTER" and I saw that "STANDUP" is working very fine. Then I added another subroutine to program for testing, just toggling a pin and called it instead of "ENCOUNTER" there was no problem, everything was perfect.
    So, what was the problem with "ENCOUNTER" I comment all lines of "ENCOUNTER" and started to comment out line by line to see where is the problem exactly. While I commenting out lines, I compiled and tried the program on every line of "ENCOUNTER".

    Well now is the funny part, at the end commenting out of lines, while I was thinking "damn I tried all lines and got no error, now its back to old code and wont work as it is" it worked without any problem.. I didnt change any letter of "ENCOUNTER" just commented them in and out thats all, but it worked... Now it counts pulses and stops in right time..

    I'm glad problem is solved, but does anyone have any idea about this stuation?

    Here is working codes I compiled last.

    Default Re: Hot to handle multiple interrupt sources?

    You did more than just comment/uncomment.

    You no longer Goto RST at the bottom of Standup and did some finetuning of code.

    I'm happy you nowhave it working. DT-INT really does make our life easier.
