hi....i am new to pic18f452...i have written a simple c code to generate pulses in port D of it...i used mplab c18 compiler and pickit 3 to program the pic....the program is as follows....


#include<p18f452.h>
#pragma config OSC=HS
#pragma config OSCS=OFF
#pragma config WDT =OFF
void main()
{
int i;
TRISD=0;
PORTD=0x00;
while(1)
{
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
PORTD=0x00;
}
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
PORTD=0xff;
}
}
}


the output expected is a continuous pulses from every pin of PORTD.

i'm attaching the output which i got in oscilloscope...
the 1st figure shows the output of a pin of the port D....i am getting pulses for a short duration, then the output remains low for a short interval, then again i obtain pulses....this cycle repeats...
why is the output low for a short interval?

 

You need to disable Low Voltage Programming (LVP) in config settings.

Your PGM pin is floating, and picking up 50Hz mains hum.

You are showing 3 images. Which is the right one?

You should post in png format and do not resize the BMPs smaller. PNG is a compressed format and you should be able to upload the full size.

Please use the code tags when posting code.

It is a left square bracket the word code followed by a right square bracket. The ending tag is the same except a / character after the bracket.

#include<p18f452.h>
#pragma config OSC=HS

       int i;

You normally should read ports and set latches.

Try this LATD=0x00 and LATD=0xFF instead.


What have you done to debug your code? Did you step through it and check the outputs?

There is no need to do something like this:

for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
    PORTD=0x00;
}

This does the same:

for(i=0;i<10;i++);
PORTD=0x00;

Or better replace the for statement with a delay.
