• Typical maximum current, which must not be exceeded is about 90 mA.

• Note: R can control the brightness of the LED

Port D and Port E Configuration

• Port D configured as output to connect to the 7-Segment Display outputs A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP.

• Port E bit-0 (RE0) configured as output to connect to the 7-Segment Display Most Significant Digit (MSD) driver

• Port E bit 1 (RE1) configured as output to connect to the 7-Segment Display Least Significant Digit (LSD) driver

C Code for Configuring Port D and Port E

TRISD = 0b00000000; // Output for 7-segments

TRISE0 = 0; // Output for MSD Driver

TRISE1 = 0; // Output for LSD Driver

• The names TRISD, TRISE1, etc are the standard names for the

PIC16F877A

• The name and type is declared in file pic16f877a.h

// Register: TRISD

7-Segment Display Test Plan

• Send a counter value to the 7-segment display continuously

• Increment the counter as follows 0, 1, …, 99, 0, 1, …

• LEDs must be continuously driven for the light to show

• Human eye cannot detect short changes

• To display a 2-digit number: • MSD off LSD on

MSD on LSD off

MSD off LSD on , …

for(i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {// Display "value" for about 1s

// Set the 7-segment lines on PORTD to match LSD of value:

PORTD = sevenSegmentLookUp[value%10];

RE0 = 0; // Turn off MSD

RE1 = 1; // Turn on LSD

// Set the 7-segment lines on PORTD to match MSD of value

PORTD = sevenSegmentLookUp[value/10];

RE0 = 1; // Turn on MSD

RE1 = 0; // Turn off LSD

14

Modulo Operator n mod m (C syntax is: n % m)

• Given two positive numbers, n and m, n mod m is the remainder that results after the division of n by m.

• The division of n by m yields an integer part and a remainder part

• Example: 37%3 = 1, because 37÷3 = 12 with remainder 1

• Special case: when m is the base of the number system, then n % m will yield the value of the least significant digit

n % m = LSD(n), when m = base of number system

15

Integer Division Operator n / m

• Given two positive numbers, n and m, n / m is the integer that results after the division of n by m.

• The division of n by m yields an integer part and a remainder part

• Example: 37 / 3 = 12, because 37÷3 = 12 remainder 1

• Special case: when m is the base of the number system, then n / m will remove the least significant digit

Project Modularization

• A project can be made more modular

• Easier to maintain

• Easier to read and debug

• Easier to manage

• Encapsulate similar items into their own file

• C files that do certain function and that function only

• Include files (*.h) files that contain definitions (or code)

20

Example of a Modular MPLAB Project

• Project split into 6 files:

• MainFunctionPrototypes.h

• ProcessorConfiguration.h

• SevenSegmentDefinitions.h

• Main.c

• PortModule.c

• SevenSegment.c

21

Main.c #include "ProcessorConfiguration.h"

#include "MainFunctionPrototypes.h" //Needed b/c it calls 3 functions.

void main(void) {

unsigned char value;

unsigned int i;

portInit();

sevenSegmentInit();

value = 0;

while (1) { // Loop forever.

for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {// Display "value" for about 1 s

sevenSegmentDisplay(value);

}

if (value == 99) {

value = 0;

}

else {

value++;

}


} // end of main.

22

Main.c Notes

• At most one file in a project must contain the configuration bits settings:

#include "ProcessorConfiguration.h”

• Must include the signature of each function main() calls: portInit(),

sevenSegmentInit(), and sevenSegmentDisplay():

#include "MainFunctionPrototypes.h“

• Notice that main() does not interact with the port or the seven segment display device directly; it invokes functions within files whose responsibility it is to interface with the port or the segment device directly.

23

ProcessorConfiguration.h #pragma config BOREN = OFF, CPD = OFF, DEBUG = ON, WRT = OFF, FOSC =

EXTRC, WDTE = OFF, CP = OFF, LVP = OFF, PWRTE = OFF

24

MainFunctionPrototypes.h extern void sevenSegmentDisplay(unsigned char);

extern void portInit(void);

extern void sevenSegmentInit();

25

MainFunctionPrototypes.h Notes

• The file contains:

extern void sevenSegmentDisplay(unsigned char);

extern void portInit(void);

extern void sevenSegmentInit();

• These define the signature of each function that main() calls.

• For example, the signature of sevenSegmentInit() is that it returns nothing (void) and it has an unsigned char parameter.

• The extern keyword tells the compiler that the item is defined in an external file.

26

PortModule.c #include <xc.h>

void portInit(void) {

PCFG3 = 0; // Configure all Port pins for digital I/O.

PCFG2 = 1;

PCFG1 = 1;

TRISD = 0b00000000; // Output for seven segments

TRISE0 = 0; // MSD driver

TRISE1 = 0; // LSD driver

TRISE2 = 0; // Decimal point segment

}

27

PortModule.c Notes

• The file xc.h contains the definitions of the variables PortModule.cd uses: PCFG3, PCFG2, PCFG1, TRISD, TRISE0, TRISE1, and TRISE2.

#include <xc.h>

void portInit(void) {

PCFG3 = 0; // Configure all Port pins for digital I/O.

PCFG2 = 1;

PCFG1 = 1;

TRISD = 0b00000000; // Output for seven segments

TRISE0 = 0; // MSD driver

TRISE1 = 0; // LSD driver

TRISE2 = 0; // Decimal point segment

}

28

SevenSegment.c #include <xc.h>

#include "SevenSegmentDefinitions.h"

unsigned char sevenSegmentLookUp[10]; // 7 segment decoder

void sevenSegmentInit() {











sevenSegment = sevenSegmentLookUp[0]; // Set both digits to zero.

leftDigit = DIGIT_ON; // Turn on the MSD.

rightDigit = DIGIT_ON; // Turn on the LSD.

DP = DP_OFF; // Switch decimal point off

}

29

SevenSegment.c (Continued) void sevenSegmentDisplay(unsigned char value) {

sevenSegment = sevenSegmentLookUp[value%10]; //Display LSD.

leftDigit = DIGIT_OFF; // Turn off the MSD

rightDigit = DIGIT_ON; // Turn on the LSD

sevenSegment = sevenSegmentLookUp[value/10]; // Display MSD.

rightDigit = DIGIT_OFF; // Turn off the MSD

leftDigit = DIGIT_ON; // Turn on the LSD

}

30

SevenSegment.c Notes

• Note that although SevenSegment.c does not refer to the names of the PIC registers directly, it still needs to include the file xc.h, because the variables leftDigit, rightDigit, and sevenSegment, are defined as RE0, RE1, RE2, and PORTD in the SevenSegmentDefineitions.h file:

#define leftDigit RE0

#define rightDigit RE1

#define sevenSegment PORTD

#define DP RE2

31

SevenSegmentDefinitions.h #define DIGIT_ON 1

#define DIGIT_OFF 0

#define leftDigit RE0

#define rightDigit RE1

#define sevenSegment PORTD

#define DP RE2

#define DP_ON 0

#define DP_OFF 1
