Validating Code Without PIC - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Hey,

I have a program that needs to be tested, it's an LED tachometer which runs 5 LED's depending on the input signal (0-5V) and it also tests for Oil pressure and Water temperature. If those two values are below or above a certain value, an LED each will come on.

I need to test the program output, but I don't know how to do this without the PIC (16F88) to test it on. Is there any program that can take an input and give me the programs output?

Also, when using the A/D converts, with a 4Mhz clock, setting the A/D to the interal clock of the A/D will be ok?

Here is my code if anyone wants to look over it. Thanks a lot!

Code:

You can use the simulator from MPLAB. Under "Debugger", select MPLAB SIM.

It is good for testing how the code works but not how the ADC converts, I don't know if there's any way to simulate tach pulses either. So you probably won't be able to tell if you've properly configured the ADC to do what you want.

Typically what you'd do is insert test code that puts data in the ADC output register and write ADIF=1 to trigger your ISR. You can pause the code and do it manually or just assemble a test version with assembly that does these writes anytime after it's done with configuring things.

Write a value that isn't supposed to light the LED and check the LATx bit for the LED. Write a value that should light the LED and check the LATx bit. That's pretty much what you can do.

ericgibbs · 22nd April 2007, 06:49 AM

hi burg,
You can also use the www.oshonsoft.com simulator, it has ADC input voltage
simulation, also LED modules.

There is a trial version available.

ericgibbs · 22nd April 2007, 07:45 AM

hi burg,
A quick first run thru my sim, shows a problem in the 'READ' subr, check which BANK where the 'WORD' variable is supposed to be???

The coding is very well commented and layed out and very easy to follow, nice one.

The only minor suggestion I would make is dont use the 'WORD' as variable name.

Lets know what you find.

Regards

EDIT: the 'testing for X' subroutines are not working
Added a compare listing from the web, it may help.

burg · 22nd April 2007, 04:14 PM

Thanks a lot ericgibbs, that programs amazing actually.

I've only had a few minutes to play with it, but it seems that the testing blocks don't work at all like you said. I'll see if I can fix these up a bit, if not I'll try switching to the compares you mentioned.

Thanks again!
