when i power on:
infrared liquid level detector is displayed and its stable....not being repeated.

and when i press enter/settings:
nothing happens....
infrared liquid level detector is still displayed and stable...

heh i never used HI-TECH before. Seems cool. And they do have a free lite version which would be great for 10F/12F/16F PICs...

Can you attach the other files like delay.h and such so i can do a decent compile and test this out with MPLAB SIM

fantabulous68 · 9th September 2009, 11:03 PM

Yeah sure....sorry for hehe troubling you so late...ill b off to bed soon

AtomSoft · 9th September 2009, 11:05 PM

its not late here its only 6pm .. heh im in NY

fantabulous68 · 9th September 2009, 11:09 PM

hehe lucky me

. The power supply is working

AtomSoft · 9th September 2009, 11:24 PM

heh i am about ot eat dinner then finish helping ok

fantabulous68 · 9th September 2009, 11:30 PM

yeah thats cool. Thanks very much for your time...

AtomSoft · 10th September 2009, 01:27 AM

Ok this code seems ok but for some reason im not sure if its just MPLAB but i cant change PORTC register. So i cant trigger a button press on PORTC but i can to PORTA and it jumps to the enter screen ok but i cant simulate a button press for INCREASE and DECREASE...

Do you think its possible to use Proteus to simulate? Ill have to make a schematic tho

Goodmorning Atomsoft...Thanks for trying

. Hehe had to go to bed last night...stayed up till 2am-i ran the above code and same thing happens:

when i power on:
infrared liquid level detector is displayed and its stable....not being repeated.

and when i press enter/settings:
nothing happens....
infrared liquid level detector is still displayed and stable...

Im going to play around with the code that had the number of presses increasing and decreasing....

Do you think its possible to use Proteus to simulate?

Quote:

Proteus VSM for PIC16 contains everything you need to develop, test and virtually prototype your embedded system designs based around the Microchip Technologies™ PIC16 series of microcontrollers. The unique nature of schematic based microcontroller simulation with Proteus facilitates rapid, flexible and parallel development of both the system hardware and the system firmware. This design synergy allows engineers to evolve their projects more quickly, empowering them with the flexibility to make hardware or firmware changes at will and reducing the time to market. Proteus VSM is discussed in more detail here.

Wow thats pretty neat stuff that can be done with proteus from the picture but it looks complicated to hehe

AtomSoft · 10th September 2009, 11:13 AM

do you by any chance have a schematic? Im trying to do it in proteus but LCD isnt working at all.

AtomSoft · 10th September 2009, 11:34 AM

im not sure if its just the LCD in proteus but i had to change he LCD INIT to:

Code:

	lcd_cmd(0x02);
	lcd_cmd(0x08);
	lcd_cmd(0x02);
	lcd_cmd(0x08);
	lcd_cmd(0x00);
	lcd_cmd(0x06);
	lcd_cmd(0x00);
	lcd_cmd(0x0E);
	lcd_cmd(0x00);
	lcd_cmd(0x01);

fantabulous68 · 10th September 2009, 11:59 AM

I made a few changes to the code in which the increase and decrease buttons were working....

when i power on:

it displays "infrared liquid level detector"
then it displays "ENTER/SETTINGS"

BUT NOW its not repeating continuously and stops at the enter settings screen.......
when i press increase it increases
when i release increase it is stable

when i decrease it decreases
when i release decrease its stable

however pressing HOME and enter/settings has no affect

oh gosh i dont know why my ADSL is slow today. Sorry

here is the LCD part of my report that i have to submit when im done with the entire project:

AtomSoft	heh i never used HI-TECH before. Seems cool. And they do have a free lite version which would be great for 10F/12F/16F PICs... Can you attach the other files like delay.h and such so i can do a decent compile and test this out with MPLAB SIM __________________ AtomSofts eBay Store AtomSoftTech: C18 TIPS & TRICKS v9 PDF Nokia 6100 Driver/Software My Name: Jason Lopez http://atomsofttech.info/ \| My YouTube Videos!
