HI, i need to make an up/down counter using a pic12f609 to sn7447 BCD to 7-segment display to count from 0 to 9 and 9 to 0
The control of the counting cycle must b done using two switches
switch 1 = Up (0-9)
switch 2 = down (9-0)
the delay time is 1.5 sec using mplab assembly language
am new to micro controller and i need some ideas to do this task . i have done this using 4-bit counter and bcd to seven segment display i just inverted QA an QD on the 4-bit counter using a Nand gate and D/U on the 4-bit counter is high to count from 0 to 9 and for 9 to 0 i connected the D/U to low . but using pic12f609 i have hard time writing a code for that ...

 

Is this a homework assignment? It kind of sounds like one.

Do you have to use an actual 7-segment display, or can you make one from discrete LEDs?
If the former, you'll have to use a 7447 or similar.
If the latter, you could use Charlieplexing, and skip the 7447.

yes i have to use actual 7-segment display and actual 7447
This is actually a project that am working on but we have been just introduced to Micro controller and we have been doing only digital circuit design the whole time i can do this project using 4-bit counter and BCD to 7-segment display

 

There are some good lessons here:

The 509 is pretty similar to the 609

 

It sounds like most of the assignment is for you to create an accurate 1.5mS delay and send a pulse out on a pin for the clock.

The second part is instead of the switching the 7447 directly with gates & switches deciding the behavior, the PIC polls and debounces the switches and sets the appropriate lines high or low.

 

Whatever you do, make certain that:
1) You use GP3 as an input, using a N.O. push button to short it to ground.
2) Use a 10k pull-up resistor from GP3 to Vcc/Vdd.
3) Disable the watchdog timer and reset features.

How will he Learn anything if it doesn't randomly reset or not run at all?
