PIC16F876A IDC Run time interrupt

[Darrel Taylor]

Are you using any HSER DEFINE's ?

If so, comment them out.
MCSP sets the baud rate for the USART while debugging

PULSE VAR PORTC.2
RL1 VAR PORTC.1
RL2 VAR PORTC.0
HEATIN VAR PORTA.1
SENSIN VAR PORTA.0
ADCON1 = 0011 'Declare A ports 0 & 1 as Analog to dig converters
ADCON1.7 = 1 'Analog to Digital variables declared right justified
TRISA = 255
DEFINE ADC_BITS 10 '10 bit conversion used
DEFINE ADC_SAMPLEUS 5 'set sample time
SENSVAL VAR Byte
DEFINE LOADER_USED 1

loop_delay CON 500 ' adjust to tweak timing
ms_count VAR WORD


loop:

FOR ms_count = 0 TO 999 ' 0 to 999mS

IF ms_count < 14 THEN ' PULSE low 0 to 13 mS
low PULSE
ELSE ' PULSE and RL1 high at 14
high PULSE
high RL1
high RL2
ENDIF

Are you using a MAX232 between the USART and the PC.

Or, are you trying to use the melabs U2 to debug. (won't work)

Also, 99% of your program is disabled. Remove the DISABLE DEBUG.

I am not using the MAX 232...
I take it is a must!?

Yes Indeed, look the Help file... under the Hardware requirement. You'll discover something interesting

Yes, it's a MUST.

Microcode Studio's ICD communicates with the PIC via the RS232 port, and uses the USART on the PIC.
There's no other way to do it.

Thank you guys so much this is a huge help!!!!!!

You're welcome, good luck!

And i think it's not the whole thing as well... some variable declaration are missing... AND...

ADCON1 = 0011 'Declare A ports 0 & 1 as Analog to dig converters

unless there's a copy/paste error here, it may screw few things... No i didn't open TFM to know how much ADCON=11 is different of ADCON1=%0011
