Instant Interrupts Questions

[modifyit]

So do I just put the register declaration right after the inlcude file definitions or do I need to imbed it in your files some how? I'm looking to triger based on a falling edge.

Thanks again

As long as you put it somewhere before the @ INT_ENABLE INT_INT you should be OK.

So using your example I should put the option_reg declaration where I have it in your example below if I want the interupt to occur on the falling edge? I will try this tonight thanks alot!

LED1 VAR PORTB.1

INCLUDE "DT_INTS-14.bas" ' Base Interrupt System
INCLUDE "ReEnterPBP.bas" ' Include if using PBP interrupts

 OPTION_REG.6 = 0 ' INT on Falling Edge 

ASM
INT_LIST macro ; IntSource, Label, Type, ResetFlag?
       INT_Handler INT_INT, _ToggleLED1, PBP, yes
endm

INT_CREATE ; Creates the interrupt processor

INT_ENABLE INT_INT ; enable external (INT) interrupts

ENDASM

Main:
PAUSE 1
GOTO Main

'---[INT - interrupt handler]---------------------------------------------------
ToggleLED1: 
    TOGGLE LED1
@ INT_RETURN

[Darrel Taylor]

That should work.

Just be sure to indent the INT_CREATE and INT_ENABLE lines. You'll get an error if they are in column 1.

Well it seems i got to a dead end, i have most of my work done but now i am out of RAM in my 16f877A, i now HAVE TO migrate to 18f452, so i will have to do it on assembler which i really dont now very well.

I am using portb, timer0 and RX interrupts.

I made it to work the timer int once in this device but i have never used multiple interrupts on it, what has to be done? check flags to see which was the last interrupt? (i dont know ASM), if so, should i manage the interrupt at once or send it to other independent subroutines.

I really am close to cry, all my work and happy moments with this Instant interrupt system seem to come to an end, even more all the work done seems to be useless.

Please help me.

Can Instant Interrupts be used with the 12F683? If so, what changes are needed in the Include files?

Josuetas,

Although I have no clue what you are trying to do – you may want to consider the following: The 877A has 256 bytes of EEPROM (w/ 1,000,000 read write cycle life).

You said you were out of RAM? All 368 bytes? I cannot imagine needing immediate access to all of these bytes. Consider reusing some RAM and tuck away the answers in EEPROM and retrieve and replace when needed? See example below.

*** Old Way ***

X var byte
Y var byte
Z var byte

X = 1
Y = 2
Z = 3

If X > 4 then DoSomething1
If Y > 1 then Y = 6
If Z > 6 then DoSomething3

*** New Way ***

Data @1,1,2,3

X Var byte

Read 1,X
If X > then 4 then DoSomething1
Read 2,X
If X > 1 then
Write 2, 6
Endif
Read 3, X
If X > 6 then DoSomething

***

The “New Way” used 1/3 the RAM of the “Old Way”. I think you get the idea. Could this work to save RAM and your past work?

Good Luck,
