Hi! I'm trying to get this program work but haven't succeeded yet. I have a 3-digit common cathode 7-segment display and three transistors to turn the digits on. I'm using a PIC16F877A with a 4MHz crystal. Timer0 sets an interrupt after 1ms. I tried the multiplexing part of the code with 1ms counters written into code, without the interrupts and it worked perfectly. When I try to get the timing from TIMER0 it doesn't work. What's wrong with my code?

Just some general thoughts....

When an interrupt occurs, consider immediately turning off interrupts while the current interrupt is being serviced; otherwise if your service routine takes longer than you thought, you'll get stuck in a loop.

Then clear the flag that caused the initial interrupt.

Then perform your interrupt service routine.

Then re-initialize the timer.

Lastly, re-enable interrupts.

Note that your MAIN portion doesn't have any statements; it should be at least branching back to MAIN. Otherwise the program counter may just run off the end of your code, and attempt to execute arbitrary data that was left from the last programming exercise.

Thanks for your tips. I did those and also found some errors and it works now!:) But now there's a new problem. If I want to display for example 0 on ones display, then there is also very dim 0 on hundreds display, which is the next digit in multiplexing sequence. I tried messing with the timing but it didn't help.

It's because you're putting the cart before the horse. ;)

Right now, you're turning off the prior digit and turning on the new digit - the prior value is still loaded in the port.

You need to turn the prior and current digit off before loading in the new value, or you'll get "ghosting" on other digits.


1) Turn the transistor for the last digit OFF.
2) Load the port with data for the new segments to be displayed.
3) Turn the transistor for the new digit ON.
4) Return after resetting interrupt status;etc.

Also, I see you're using "goto $+6" etc.
You'll be better off to branch to labels instead of hard-coded PC offsets. As things are now, you'll have to adjust those hard-coded offsets to compensate for the instructions you'll have to add. If you'd used labels, the assembler would take care of the adjustment automatically.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

iam so lucky iam working on the same circuit but unfortunately there is some thing wrong
i can reset only the 1st digit on number 10 of course but other 2 digits doesn't affected at all , i tested the logic of code and i guess it is fine but on testing the circuit on Proteus 7.4 i found this problem


see that my code

and that is the circuit i built virtually on Proteus



counter count on switch pressing which make interrupt with that and then continue the 7 segment multiplexing

i intend to reduce the circuit in future by using just 1 decoder and make the multiplexing on the unused pins in portb instead of the pins of portc i used of course after solving the problem

looks like you have enough pins on the mcu so you shouldn't use any decoder (just 7 pins to the led + 3 pins to the commons).

you are wright but think if you can use the port c to do another job then you can understand the importance of wasted 3 pin of it except that i have reduced the pcb to take smaller size

The 7448 has built-in pull-up resistors. You don't need resistors on the outputs.
On the other hand, you DO need resistors to limit current on the bases of Q1 through Q3; I suggest 1k Ohms.

You don't seem to be doing any multiplexing in your code; just incrementing the counters.
You'll need to turn the current display off via portc, move the new digit's data to display into portb, and then turn the new digit on in portc.

It is not necessary to use the large font size for your text. The regular font works just fine.

i miss it and it will make it smaller

you are wright but in simulation every thing works fine :):)

i do the multiplexing but i found Proteus can't handle time smaller than this in code (200mSEC) but in real life at (1mSEC) or smaller it works fine
and multiplexing code

that is improved one but i use the common anode but let us discuss the common cathode code up there

and for multiplexing i used the code
MOVLW B'XXXXXXXX'
MOVWF PORTB

from
thejmh , it reduce code

10k for r1/r2/r3 may be too much.

the LED will likely take 3-5ma each to light up. so that means a total of 35ma if all segments are lit up.

the LEDs will also have a forward drop of about 1.5 - 2v, at least. plus one Vbe, you are talking about a base current of only (5-2-.7)/10k=.2ma. with a beta of 100 for small signal transistors, that means those transistors can source about 20ma. a little bit on the low side.

I would use 1k resistors instead.

you can write a function to display a string and then it will be mostly done!

yes you are 100% wright in real life
but in simulation it doesn't matter every thing works fine
but what am asking for is the logic of the code cause i think it must work fine
but when i tried to simulate it , it just increment the 1st display and reset it on over flow but nothing happen for the other displays

see that is the code for the above circuit

Now that you've changed to a common anode, and replaced the 7448 with a 7447, you'll have to add the resistors back in (one per the 7447's current sink), value depends on Vf and current desired per segment. The NPN transistors should be replaced with PNP transistors. The base resistors should be anywhere from 330 Ohms to 1k Ohms.

In your code, I don't know why you're performing a COMF PortB,PortB (inverting all bits) and then individually setting/clearing bits.

You should instead be:
1) Turning off the previously lit segment.
2) Moving the new value to be displayed into the port.
3) Turning on the new segment.
4) Delaying.

In your interrupt service routine, you should first turn off interrupts, THEN call scan, and then turn interrupts back on.

you are wright it was stupid step of me

and then individually setting/clearing bits
i do it to do multiplexing on RB1,RB2,RB3

You should instead be:
1) Turning off the previously lit segment.
2) Moving the new value to be displayed into the port.
3) Turning on the new segment.
4) Delaying.
i corrected the code to this sequence

Rich (BB code):
START
    BCF PORTB,3
    SWAPF DIG0,W
    MOVWF PORTB
    BSF PORTB,1
    CALL DELAY
    BCF PORTB,1
    SWAPF DIG1,W
    MOVWF PORTB
    BSF PORTB,2
    CALL DELAY
    BCF PORTB,2
    SWAPF DIG2,W
    MOVWF PORTB
    BSF PORTB,3
    CALL DELAY
    GOTO START

    BCF INTCON,INTF        ;STOP THE INTERRUPT
    BSF INTCON,GIE          ;ALLOW OTHER INTERRUPT TO BE ABLE OCCUR
    RETFIE
in the end no thing just the 1st display which work with me

here the project files if any one want to check it him self

or

and i will include link to Proteus 7
