I am trying to do simple PWM with MSP430. Working with timer I am facing one issue. I have noticed that clock divider doesn't make any sence eather I set ID_3 that suppose divide clock by 8, or I set ID_1 or ID_2. The output frequency that I am seeing with the scope is 130Hz. Is there any mistakes?
#include "msp430g2553.h"
volatile unsigned long i;
volatile unsigned int D1=50;
void main(void)
{
i=0;
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop WDT
CCTL0 = CCIE; // CCR0 interrupt enabled
TACTL = TASSEL_2 + MC_1 + ID_1; // SMCLK, upmode MC1
CCR0 = 5; // Timer should count up to CCR) and reset
P1OUT &= 0x00; // Shut down everything
P1DIR &= 0x00;
P1DIR |= BIT0; // P1.0 pin output
_BIS_SR(CPUOFF + GIE); // Enter LPM0 w/ interrupt
while(1) //Loop forever, we work with interrupts!
{}
}
// Timer A0 interrupt service routine
#pragma vector=TIMER0_A0_VECTOR
__interrupt void Timer_A (void)
{
i=i+1;
if (i>=100) {i=0;}
if (i<=D1) {P1OUT = BIT0;}
if (i>D1) {P1OUT &= 0x00;}
}
By default, SMCLK and the CPU run at the same frequency (about 1.1 MHz).
The interrupt handler needs much longer than five cycles to run, so the output speed is determined not by how you configure the timer but by how fast the code in Timer_A() can run.
You could try to optimize the interrupt handler (i does not need to have 32 bits, etc.) and to use a longer timer interval.
But it might be a better idea to configure the timer for hardware PWM.

I'm working on a Distance measurement program using an AVR microcontroller. I use a 16x2 LCD and an ultrasonic sensor along with ATMEGA32A. I wrote a code to display the distance from the Ultrasonic HC-SR04 on the LCD screen, but it gives me false readings, it increases the distance when the object is very near and vice versa. I just want an accurate reading.

pulse = TCNT1;
TCNT1 = 0;
i = 0;
}
if(i==0)
{
TCCR1B |= 1<<CS10;
i = 1;
}
}
I tried to change the trigger pin definition and define it in the code itself but still no progress.
Update: I changed a bit more in the code but I'm getting hex values when the distance is more than 9, for example, 10 is being displayed as 1e.
This is for initialise function
void Initialise(void)
{
DataDir_MrLCDsControl|=1<<LightSwitch|1<<ReadWrite|1<<BipolarMood; //these information will go towards the LCD
_delay_ms(15); // Wait for the LCD to start
Send_A_Command(0x01); // to clear the screen
_delay_ms(2);
Send_A_Command(0x38); // TO tell LCD about 8 data lines
_delay_us(50);
Send_A_Command(0b00001110); //Some cursor command
_delay_us(50);
}
You are sending pulses at a very rapid rate (determined solely by the display update time), and they are asynchronous to the time/counter reset. You have no idea which pulse triggered the interrupt and it did not start at the same time as the timer.
I would suggest that you reset the counter at the start of the pulse, and capture the counter value on interrupt. When the time has exceeded the maximum range, send a new pulse:
First define some constants:
#define PULSES_PER_CMx100 (F_CPU * 100 / 68600)
#define MAX_RANGE_CM 300
#define MAX_RANGE_COUNT ((MAX_RANGE_CM * PULSES_PER_CMx100) / 100)
Then your measure/display loop might look like:
pulse = 1 ; // dummy start
GICR &= ~(1<<INT0) ; // Disable INT0
for(;;)
{
// Ready for new measurement?...
if( pulse != 0 )
{
// Send pulse and reset timer
PORTD |= (1<<Trigger_pin) ;
pulse = 0 ;
TCNT1 = 0 ;
_delay_us(10);
PORTD &= ~(1<<Trigger_pin) ;
// Wait for echo pulse interrupt...
GIFR |= 1<<INTF0; // Clear INT0 pending flag
GICR |= 1<<INT0 ; // Enable INT0
}
else // When measurement available...
{
int distance_cm = pulse * 100 / PULSES_PER_CMx100 ;
// display distance
...
}
// If out of range, timeout, send a new pulse
if( TCNT1 > MAX_RANGE_COUNT )
{
// Force a new pulse to be triggered
pulse = 1 ;
}
}
And the ISR:
ISR(INT0_vect)
{
pulse = TCNT1; // Capture time on interrupt
GICR &= ~(1<<INT0) ; // Disable further interrupts
}
Now bear in mind that that method will take measurements as fast as possible and since you are displaying them for human reading, that is rather unnecessary. You might simply put a delay in the loop - making the pulse timeout unnecessary, or better you could take the mean of multiple measurements to get a more robust measurement, or use a moving average window, with outlier rejection.
I'm trying to connect to an STM8 using uart. The STM seems to transmit data OK, but what it receives seems to be mostly junk, and often seems to receive 2 bytes at once. Here's the code:

I'm not really sure about stop bits, and all that. It's just "regular" serial communication.
I found that if I uncommented the line
//UART1_CR3 |= UART1_CR3_LBCL; // this seems to cause problems
then the stm8 prints out a continuous stream of junk. But with it commented out, the mcu seems to correctly know that there has been a transmission. There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to what it sees, though.
Hmm. The offending line seems to be
UART1_CR3 |= UART1_CR3_CLKEN;
It's purpose seem to be to "enable the SCLK pin". I don't really understand what's going on here, but according to a pinout diagram, one of the purposes of pin PD4 is UART1_CK. So you can attach a UART clock to the STM8 and this enables it?? And thereby causes problems if a clock isn't attached. It doesn't make that much sense, really; I didn't know uarts could have external clocks.
Anyway, commenting out the line seems to have fixed things.
I am currently working for the first time with a PIC microcontroller. In the code I specified exactly which PIC, compiler, etc I am using. Maybe this is of help.
I am trying to set up UART communication on the PIC32 and send a hex code like 0x41 for example to a terminal on my computer through RS232. To convert the signal from the PIC UART to RS232 levels I am using a MAX232EPE.
At the moment I am running into the problem that when I send 0x41 for example from the PIC32 to the terminal or vice versa, the received data doesn't match. I think this being caused by a mistake in my baud rate settings, but I am not sure. Could someone please look over my code and see if someone can see a problem? Did I forget to define something? Did I define something wrong? Did I mis calculate the baud rate?
P.S. I know the data being received doesn't match the data send because i checked in the "watches" in debug mode in mplab and when I echo the data send from the terminal to the PIC32 back to the terminal it doesn't match either.
The Delay and interrupt code can be ignored, they are working as expected, so I really believe the problem has to do with the initial setting of the PIC/buad rate.
I hope this is clear enough, any help is very much appreciated
Thanks,
See code below
/*
The configuration below and in void UART1_Init should set up the UART correctly.
I want to achieve a buadrate of 9600. My external Crystal is 8MHz. So:
FPLLIDIV=2, FPLLMUL=20, FPLLODIV=1, FPBDIV=2, FNOSC=PRIPLL, BRGH = 0, and U1BRG = 259.
This should give me the desired baudrate of 9600.
- ((8MHz / 2) * 20)/2) = 40MHz PBclk.
- U1BRG = (PBclk/(16*Buad rate))-1 so 259
- 16*Buad rate because BRGH = 0

As You are using PIC32MX795F512H, You can use the MPLAB Harmony framework tool for creating your project. So that you need not to play on bit level and stuck in minor error or most probabaly typo error.
Its convinient to generate drivers and all framework properly.
Thanks and regards
Ravi
Using Harmony will actually help you avoid simple errors like the one you have encountered. Especially for the clocks you even have auto calculating functions decreasing your implementation time significantly.
Sorry about a newbie question. Trying to port this code to msp430f5529. It does not compile, says "Identifier CCTL0 undefined". Am I using a wrong clock? A wrong .h? Both?

I haven't worked with the F5529, but I have worked with other F5x family, namely F5437 & F5438 in A and non-A versions.
You have to port the example to your device, so the CCTL0 & TACTL registers have to be replaced with YOUR microcontroller registers. Take a look at you device's datasheet.
It will surely be something in the form of:
TAxCCTL0
and
TAxCTL
Where x is the timer you are using.
From what I can see in the code you will be using TimerA0, so that will make them TA0CCTL0 and TA0CTL.
Hope this helps.
I have been working with this code for days and cannot figure out why my interrupts are not being triggered. I know data is coming through successfully because I used a probe on a logic analyzer, also my baud rate is correct as I can transmit with UART successfully.
At this point I'm lost, I've read the datasheet over and over and can't figure out my problem. I will try to include only the relative code but enough that you can see how things work in my project.
Please let me know if you see issues with this code.
Thank you!

Did you
- Set trisC6/7 correctly?
- if you have a part with analog inputs multiplexed on those pins, did you disable them?
- Is your BRG value validated for this part and these oscillator settings?

I migrated to dspic, but I used to do the serial receive under interrupt. This I had in the interrupt (serialin1 is a power of two circular buffer, lastserialin1 the pointer into it, and ser1bufinmask is size of buffer-1)
if (PIR1bits.RCIF == 1) /* check if RC interrupt (receive USART) must be serviced
{
while (PIR1bits.RCIF == 1) /* flag becomes zero if buffer/fifo is empty */
{
lastserialin1=(lastserialin1+1)&ser1bufinmask;
serialin1[lastserialin1]=RCREG;
}
}
To initialize the uart I had:
// Configure USART
TXSTA = 0x20; // transmit enable
RCSTA = 0x90; // spen en cren
RCONbits.IPEN = 1; /* Interrupt Priority Enable Bit. Enable priority levels on interrupts */
