Hello and happy new year to all
I have faced such a problem: (pic16f84a assembly)
I want to save 3 digit (in binary, in decimal 0-7) numbers in registers and I have lot of them, so each register for each of them will not be enough. I decided to do so:
in one register (REG1), save first 3 digits for first one, (0-2), second (3-5) to second digit and last two digits of REG1 and first digit of REG2 to the third one. in conclusion, I need 3 registers for 8 numbers which is enought but I want this to be done automatically. I mean, I will call something, which will save number which is in W in appropriate place, (so that I will need 3 registers for 8 numbers) and than when I call another thing, it must return the n'th number I saved. I'm stuck. can anyone help me?
 
Hi,

Well cannot quiet follow your question / description, so can I ask you about what you are trying to do.

First the actual numbers your are trying to save - they start at Decimal 0 and go up to what Decimal number ? - 999 ?

Second, where are these numbers coming from in the first place.

There are various ways data can be addesssed and stored in memory , some by using register names or by direct memory addressing etc.
If we can understand your numbers a bit better we can perhaps suggest the best way to handle them.
 
Well, I want my microcontroller to generate random number from 0 to 4 (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4), then light the appropriate LED and save the number. then, after doing so n times, (generating and turning led on for about 0.5 sec), the "user" has to click appropriate button and microcontroller must compare if the correct button was clicked and than wait for the next button to be clicked. (I have 5 LED and 5 Button connected to 16f84a). for example:
light LED 2
turn LED 2 off
light LED 0
turn LED 0 off
light LED 4
turn LED 4 off
light LED 0
turn LED 0 off
light LED 1
turn LED 1 off
the sequence (2 0 4 0 1) must be saved and then user must click Button 2, then button 0, then button 4, then button 0 and 1. if the user clicks correctly, the number of flashes increaces (ie. becomes 6) and then 6 times is generated, flashed and then clicked and so on. if user fails t click the correct button, it starts form generating 3 numbers again. the problems are:
1) how to generate number from 0 to 4
2) how to save them in registers so that 1 register is used for 2 numgers (I guessed it, it is done by indirect addressing and I want to know if there exists any other way). thats all
 
Hi,

Well there are many software ways to generate a random number - just google for them. think there are some in this forum.

The random number result is simply saved in a user register called - numbers - or whatever you want, this is simply copied over to the Output port to turn on your leds.
Movf numbers,W
Movwf PORT,B

You can then use the file numbers as the reference to check against as the keys are pressed.
 
Here you go, untested and straight of the top of my head so may need debugging.

Code: 
		cblock	0x20
ListStart:8
ListCount
Temp
		endc

ResetList	clrf	ListCount
		return

StoreNumber	movwf	Temp
		rrf	ListCount,W
		addlw	ListStart
		movwf	FSR
		incf	ListCount,F
		btfss	ListCount,0
		goto	IsUpper
		movfw	Temp
		movwf	INDF
		return
IsUpper		swapf	Temp,W
		iorwf	INDF
		movwf	INDF
		return	

RetrieveNumber	movwf	Temp
		rrf	Temp,W
		addlw	ListStart
		movwf	FSR
		movfw	INDF
		btfss	Temp,0
		swapf	INDF,W
		andlw	0x0f
		return

Call with the random number in W to store and the Offset in W to retrieve.

Edit, you can have the task of commenting it.

Mike.

CODE doesn't matter too much because when I plug in 5v, it starts blinking random LED's immediately, I haven't pressed any button. the circuit is absolutely the same and the result is the same(I mean, the voltage 1.67 on pin) I haven't a clue why is it so and probably thats the reason why in reality PIC thinks that I have pressed that button. see the pic:

P.S. I have set TRIS register correctly and don't know whats wrong
 
from what i see there are no pull down resistors. The switches are floating and are random right now..

set the OPTION register pin 7 bit to high

Code: 
         movlw 0x80
         movwf OPTION

there ARE pull-down resistors on the lower side (10k each). follow the line from the pins and you'll see
 
ah... didnt notice that

Um... if it works in ISIS i dont see another reason for it not to work in reality... it has to be some missed or wrong wiring then

why? I don't want pull-ups.
 
yes, but why is 1.67v in ISIS? I have pull-down and the pin is input...
 
we cant see the actual value of that DC signal you should use the POWER and GND symbols
Can you post the isis file?
 
Last edited:
there are two power sources, one 5v and second 0v and 0v is considered to be ground, so there must be 0v between them as the pin is set to input and the switch is off
 
here they are:
