Instant Interrupts - Revisited

[SteveB]

The code could also be changed thus, not that it makes a difference:

T1PS = 1                             ; start with 1:1 postscaler
TimerConst = ((OSC*1000000)/4/100)+8 ; how many timer ticks will it take
  while TimerConst > 65400           ; if it's more than the timer can count
T1PS = T1PS * 2                      ;   double the postscaler
TimerConst = TimerConst / 2          ;   halve the count
  endw
TimerConst = 65536 - TimerConst      ; final reload value

Hi Darryl,

Currently getting an error with Latest MPLAB IDE:
MPLAB 8.90.00.00

PIC is an 18F45K22 and DT_INTS-18 is latest from your website, both MPLAM and DT_INTS were downloaded from the respective sites on 15/3/2013


ERROR: Unable to execute mpasmwin.Warning[206] M:\<FOLDERPATH><FILE>ASM 2170 : Found call to macro in column 1. (INT_ENABLE)
Error[116] M:\<FOLDERPATH><FILE>.ASM 696 : Address label duplicated or different in second pass (Z00032)

Error[116] M:\<FOLDERPATH><FILE>.ASM 843 : Address label duplicated or different in second pass (Z00035)

Can you advise if there is any fix for this or do i need to use an older version of MPLAB IDE

I've used the DT_INTS sucessfully with an 18F4550. I had to move to an 18F87J50 but the DT_INTS would not compile. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if the DT_INTS was never tested with J series PIC's. When I compile, I get the following warning message:

Unable to fit variable VP_DelayCount in requested bank 0

In the "VirtualPort.bas" code, I changed this code:

VP_DelayCount  VAR WORD BANK0  ; Used for internal Delay only

to this:

VP_DelayCount  VAR WORD BANK1  ; Used for internal Delay only

and it compiled as expected. I have no clue if this will cause unexpected problems with my program or if this is the correct way to solve it but I haven't noticed any ill effects yet. Seems like this problem could be related to the SFR's but it's way above my level of knowledge.

Just thought I'd pass it along.

NO! You can't just change the variable to BANK1!
That variable must be in BANK0.

Both DT_INTS-18 and VirtualPort.bas fit quite comfortably in an 18F87J50, with room to spare. Even when using PBPL.

How many variables have you declared in BANK0 in your program?
Or, what other include files are you using that may have variables placed in BANK0.

NO! You can't just change the variable to BANK1!

Oh. The door was locked and I couldn't find the key so I just picked the lock.

How many variables have you declared in BANK0 in your program?
Or, what other include files are you using that may have variables placed in BANK0.

Good questions and ones that I wish I had answers for. I'm using HIDmaker so that's probably the root cause. Do I need to figure this problem out or is there a workaround?

I am trying to make an Interrupt on Rising Edge, PortB.0 on a 16F1827 chip.

When first POR the device, it send the message "Program started" and waits for the Interrupt.

When interrupt happens, Portb.0 is left open (it has pull-up enabled) the ISR is executed sending the message "Hey, I am sleeping!".

And then keeps on sending the message even if the PortB.0 has been restored (grounded).

Anyone sees what stupid thing I missed?
