Master Slave Clocks with PIC16F887

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hello,
it is not working i think internal osc is not working, what you think??
PORTB=data[i%16];
1 // only

PORTB=data[i>>4];
un numerical data
 
Perhaps someone should start off with a much less ambitious project such as an LED roulette wheel. No perhaps an decision maker with 4 LEDs. One for "yes", "no", "maybe" and "definitely" ...

So, you think it is difficult project?
anyway what you do sir?​

And some!!!!

What I don't get, is why bother using a library, then just dismissing it completely.

Once you include the I2C library all you need to do is use the Read and Write functions..

No stop, start, ack, nack.... Just ReadRtc and WriteRtc.... its not rocket science...
 
If you look at post #65

In the while loop I use ReadClock(&time[0]); This contains everything to put all the time into the time[] array..

Then I display them.... just take a bit of time and run through it!!!!

I think it is perhaps not for you if you lack basic computer programming understanding. What do I do? Well I would like to open an electronics shop and sell parts and offer custom engineering services. Perhaps if I get too busy I can bring some jobs to this forum...
 
Hello,
In #65
There is delay two function what is the use of it??
and
C: 
//Sends the start and device address.
//If the device is busy then it resends until accepted.
void SendID(char DeviceID)
   {
   SendStart();
   if(SendByte(DeviceID)==1)     // Send ID until accepted..
     return;
   do
     {
     SendRestart();
     }while(SendByte(DeviceID)==0);
   }

sendbytes what is this?


C: 
//Write a byte to The RTC
char WriteRTC(char Address, char Byte)
   {
   SendID(0b11010000);         // Send 0xD0
   if(SendByte(Address&0xff)==0)   // Send address
     return(0);
   if(SendByte(Byte)==0)       // Send byte
     return(0);
   SendStop();             // All done
   return(1);
   }


C: 
 ReadClock(&Time[0]);               // Get time ( BCD format as
     delayMs(250);                   // we are using  7 seg )
     DISP[5] = Time[2]>>4; DISP[4] = Time[2] & 0xf;   // fill display buffer
     DISP[3] = Time[1]>>4; DISP[2] = Time[1] & 0xf;   // backwards so it's
     DISP[1] = Time[0]>>4; DISP[0] = Time[0] & 0xf;   // readable...
how it is working i want only min and hour !
 
Forget the two functions SendID() and WiteRTC().... They are low level.... All you need concern yourself with is ReadClock().. you call that routine periodically then Time[0] = seconds.. Time[1] = minutes and Time[2] = Hours..

If you are working on a real board you will need to initiate the clock..

To do this write this..

unsigned char Time[] = {0, 43 , 16, 0 , 10, 4, 15}; Instead of whats there.. FYI ( 16:43 10/04/2015 my time here )

Then add WriteClock(&Time[0]); before the while loop.... To set the time
 
The main problem in my code i posted earlier is the ds1307 is not updating he sec in it, why?
is the i2c speed freq is to fast??
because i am directly reading the bits in i by PORTB=i;

void I2C_init(void)
{
SSPCON = 0x38; // set I2C master mode
SSPCON2 = 0x00;
SSPADD = 0x0C; //400KHZ 20MHz xtal
SSPSTAT|=0X80;
PSPIF=0; // clear SSPIF interrupt flag
BCLIF=0; // clear bus collision flag
}

What that this mean?
it should be deleted?

This works well!! Time and display....... your number 2 digit was wrong... I corrected it... Also there was some ReadModifyWrite crap going on so I changed the PORTD writes to suit!!!

hello,
I have changed the delat to 10mSec

it start with
001
011
.
.
591
002...


like this when micro power is off , the clock start from 000 it should internally work!
while(1)
{
ReadClock(&Time[0]);
__delay_ms(10);

DISP[2] = Time[1] & 0xf;
DISP[1] = Time[0]>>4; DISP[0] = Time[0] & 0xf;

PORTD = 1;

PORTB = digits[DISP[0]]; // retrive 7 seg code
__delay_ms(10);

PORTD = 2;

PORTB = digits[DISP[1]]; // retrive 7 seg code
__delay_ms(10);

PORTD = 4;

PORTB = digits[DISP[2]]; // retrive 7 seg code

__delay_ms(10);
}
}

Hello,
i think the WriteClock(&Time[0]); function is in main so, it must be writing again.
so, how to once write the setting?
and do you think the sec is working perfect in time??
 
The write clock function is BEFORE the while loop so it is executed once only... If the seconds keep resetting then the micro is resetting...

Hello,
The micro will reset after power off, but the DS1307 is running from battery backup!
So, what to do to get accurate time after power off ?

micro is resetting.
How to avoid this??
