Ccpr1 Register

[battlechess]

Hi guys,
I have a problem with following prog to measure a period. I cannot read the real value of CCPR1L and CCPR1H. When I write the eeprom on-chip (16F877A) the value stored is zero.

How can read and store the real value? I'm using the MPLAB SIM to simulate the prog.

Regards

CCP1CON = %00000100 ' Enable the CCP1 capture, FALLING edge
pir1.2=0

PERIOD.lowBYTE = CCPR1L ' Store the captured value in
PERIOD.highBYTE = CCPR1H ' period variable

capture = 0 ' Clear the capture flag

write 0,PERIOD.lowbyte

If you're testing this with MPLAB then you'll need to setup a pin stimulus to fire the capture event by toggling CCP1 or RC2. It works fine with MPLAB 7.3.

Hi Bruce,
I'm testing the prog on MPLAB 7.21 and I'm using "stimulus control" to apply the pulse on pin but, the result is negative.

Do you think the version of MPLAB might be the cause?

I just installed MPLAB ver. 7.3 and I have the same results.

Help me!!!!!

Run this in the MPLAB sim. Have the stimulus window open, click animate, and when it stops on "IF (capture = 0) Then loop" ' Wait here until captured click the stimulus "fire button" to toggle RC2.

PERIOD.lowBYTE = CCPR1L ' Store the captured value in
PERIOD.highBYTE = CCPR1H ' period variable

capture = 0 ' Clear the capture flag

write 0,PERIOD.lowbyte
goto Loop

If you're running this with animate, then go have yourself a cup of coffee because it's going to take a while before the EEPROM write happens.

If you use the run button, then click the stimulus fire button a few times while it's running, then click stop after a few seconds. In the EEPROM window, you'll see location 00 holding the captured value.

Bruce,
Tks a lot!!!!
It finally working!!!!

tks a lot again
