What I mean is that I want to send data (eg. 11110000) out from PIC16F877 and also read data in. Any sample codes to share?
 
That's pretty basic, I think the best thing to do is do a google search for 'pic projects' and 'pic tutorials' to get to know pics...

Again, your meaning isn't clear, you don't mention what kind of interface, from or to what devices, or how fast it needs to be. In fact nothing we need to know to answer the question.

For a simple generic answer:

Code:
movwf PortB ;sends data out portb

movf PortB, W ;reads data from portb

I suggest you have a read of my tutorials, which will probably explain most of your questions.

When you've found a specific question, try asking again.
 
Is your tutorial codes meant for PIC16F877 as well? Coz you are written for PIC16F628, right?

I tried to use the code to test on the LED. But the LED didn't light up. I tested on the output pins and found that all pins are in open-loop (no voltage). I wonder is my code correct.

LIST p=16F877
include "P16F877.INC"

cblock 0X20
count1
counta
countb
countc
endc

org 0x00


bcf STATUS,RP0
bcf STATUS,RP1
bsf STATUS,RP0
movlw 0X00
movwf TRISD

movlw 0X05
movwf countc

loop movlw 0Xff
movwf PORTD
call Delay
call Delay
call Delay
call Delay
clrf PORTD
call Delay
call Delay
call Delay
call Delay
decfsz countc,f
goto loop


Delay movlw d'250'
movwf count1
d1 movlw 0xC7
movwf counta
movlw 0x01
movwf countb
Delay_0
decfsz counta, f
goto $+2
decfsz countb, f
goto Delay_0

decfsz count1, f
goto d1
retlw 0x00


END
 
As Exo says, you don't switch bank to bank 0, so you can't ever access PortD - instead it still writes to TRISD.

The tutorials are mainly based on the 16F628, but the code is essentially the same, only a few details need changing.

When you post code, enclose it using the 'code' button above, this maintains it's formatting, otherwise it's difficult to read.

Above is the code I written. I tried but it didn't give me the desired output. I grounded all the unused pins as well. But all the outputs I got are 0.3V or Open-loop although a HIGH is expected. Any idea solving

You don't mention your hardware, I notice you are using PortB for inputs, do you have pullup resistors on the pins?.
 
Yes, more info about how you connected the inputs is required...

Also, there is a much easyer way to accomplish what you are doiing

Code:
Again

     MOVF     PORTB, W      ;copy portB to W
     MOVWF    PORTC         ;and copy W to portC
     GOTO     Again
 
How actually should I connect the PORTB pins as input? Why the pull-up resistors are necessary? What I did was applying 5V to each PORTB pins and both VDD. Of course the Vss and all the unused pins are grounded. I tried to measure the output voltage of PORTC pins and 0.3V / open-loop were what I got. Is the hardware the one not working or my coding? Please correct me if the hardware is wrong.
 
well, if that is your hardware setup, and with the code above it should work, portC pins should be high.

are you sure the pic is running, what oscillator are you using and what configuration settings? have you tried a simple blink-a-led program to see it is actually running ?
 
I'm doing the flashing of LED as well. However, the output that I got was very weird. I got 2.5-3.5V for a HIGH and 1.2V for a LOW. Also, the LED was always ON and didn't blink at all no matter how much delay I have put. I don't understand why. The oscillator that I'm using is 20MHz with 22pF capacitances. I think the configuration setting is correctly set.

My questions for today are:
1) How to calculate the delay time for 20MHz crystal oscillator in a cascaded delay subroutine?
2) The flow of execution of the program goes from one line after another,right? If I want to set PORTB,7 as HIGH at the same time output all PORTD as HIGH, how should I write the coding?

It could be many things, either hardware or software, it's always possible you've wired it wrong somewhere.

My questions for today are:
1) How to calculate the delay time for 20MHz crystal oscillator in a cascaded delay subroutine?

The easiest way is to use the "delay code generator" on the PICList, you simply enter your required delay and the clock speed, the generator gives you the code you need.

2) The flow of execution of the program goes from one line after another,right? If I want to set PORTB,7 as HIGH at the same time output all PORTD as HIGH, how should I write the coding?

You can't, there will have to be a tiny delay between them, with your 20MHz clock it will be a minimum of 200nS.
 
I finally got the flashing LED working~!

My PIC output is connected to a LATCH. PORTB,7 is used to triggered on the LATCH and PORTD is connected to the input pins of the LATCH.
PORTB,7 has to be HIGH output to trigger on the LATCH then at the same time only the data from PORTD will flow through the LATCH.

If like what Nigel said, how should I program it in order to trigger on the LATCH and get the PORTD data flowing thru the LATCH? Please advice.

I'm not very sure why you have an external latch?, all PIC ports have internal latches anyway - so it's not required, unless you are multiplexing the port to do more than one job?.

Anyway, assuming you want to do it, simply output your data on PortD, then pulse your PortB pin high - you don't want them to happen at the same time!. Something like this:

Code:
movwf PortD
bsf PortB, 7
;add a delay here if a longer pulse is required, perhaps a 'nop' or two?
bcf PortB, 7

But if you're not using PortD for anything else, the first line is all that's needed, and no external latch.
 
I have some codes coded for PIC18F452. However, I need to adapt the codes for my PIC16F877. Since PIC16F877 only has 35 instruction sets, some of the instructions of the PIC18F452 has to be recoded in order to perform the same task. I am not sure whether the conversion I did is correct or not. Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Code:
(PIC18F452)           BRA     MAIN
(PIC16F877)           GOTO    MAIN


(PIC18F452)           BZ       CONTROL_TRANSMIT_OK
                      MOVF     TRANS_REG_CTRL_IN
                      XORLW    41H
                      BZ       CONTROL_TRANSMIT_OK
                      GOTO     ERR

(PIC16F877)           BTFSC    STATUS,Z
                      GOTO     CONTROL_TRANSMIT_OK
                      MOVF     TRANS_REG_CTRL_IN,0
                      XORLW    41H
                      BTFSC    STATUS,Z
                      GOTO     CONTROL_TRANSMIT_OK
                      GOTO     ERR
Also, how to convert the following code to PIC16F877 code?
Code:
(PIC18F452)           LFSR      FSR0,0x100
Thankz[/code]
