guys , i have a deadline on a project dealing with pic16f877a making it work as a motor and compressor driver. it has a easy logic and requires a basic programming but it doesnt function as i wanted when i put it on board. can someone help or assist me regarding these.. very thankful to those can help

 

Hello,

Without the schematic and program we can not help you.
Please post both and we can have a look at it.

Device = 16F877A
XTAL = 20
ALL_DIGITAL 1


Symbol F1 = PORTA.0

Symbol P = PORTC.3

TRISD = %1111
TRISA = %0000
Output PORTC.3

And it might help if you tell us what "doesnt function"

That is a really broad category.

What have you done to troubleshoot and narrow it down to a specific area?

i am sorry i am new in posting here,,

after i had my things placed on a pcb, before i made a start of the program i always have to slide a wire with 5v to pic pins back and fort before it start, after that it goes right then malfunctioning again, unless i do that method again. but when it functions it really does my program. soory

 

i think my program in proton is correct. i always simulate it before i load it to the pic.. maybe its on the circuitry.. help

What "pic pins" are you sliding this wire to 5V to get it to work? How do you know it is working when you do this?

Just because something works in a simulator does not mean it will work in the real world.

 

i got a wire with 5v from the source and slide it on all the pins of the pic sometimes just touching the 5v wire to pin 31 then it works.. i know it works when my leds light up and do what is programmed.

STOP DOING THAT!!!!!! You are shorting VSS to VDD!

You are going to have to give a lot more details if you want people to help like explain what is connected to PORTD (your input I assume).


What have you done to troubleshoot your code? Have you stepped through the code with your debugger?
