Hi everyone
I have written a program for an alarm clock, everything is Ok,and the alarm stop after ringing fot 1min but I decided to put a push button for operator in order to stop alarm manually..
but while the alarm is ringing and I push the button, the alarm does not stop.. whats the problem?? I put here the schematic and the code. whats the problem??
I use the code like this >> PORTC.0=1; //the alarm starts

if(PIND.0==0) PORTC.0=0; // the alarm must stop!

Wouldn´t that work only as long as you hold that button?
Otherwise the code is terribly spaghetti like, placing a comment here and there and dividing it into more functions with names that actually say what the function does wouldn´t hurt.

no it has no action but add a sound (like noise) to the alarm sound.. the alarm stops when 1minute in passed, and I cant stop it manually... I'm really confused.. :(

Ok, what do key_clock(); and key_alarm() do?
Do you realize at all what how your code works? It goes in a loop, and when alarm is on and reset button is on it sets the portc.0 to 1 and immediately after that to 0.

You want it to remember that the button was once set and stop activating the portc.0 after that.

  • You need to declare an alarm_cancel variable. Set this flag when the alarm cancel PB is pressed. This way the program remembers that state.
  • Now use that flag as an extra condition in your IF statement that puts the alarm on.
  • e.g. if(h==ho && m==mo && alarm_cancel==0) PORTC.0=1;
  • The alarm is only on if the alarm_cancel flag is false.
  • Also; where you set PORTC.0=0 in the IF statement, set the alarm_cancel flag to 0 as well.

key_clock(); << this is the function that controls the keys to adjust the time.
key_alarm(); << this is the function that controls the keys to adjust the alarm time.

yes I written it myself and I know how it works, yes I put the deactivation code right after the activation, but look there.. it is in a condition .. if(PIND.0==0)...

yes!!!!!! that was the problem, when I pressed the key the alarm went off but after key is opened the time of clock and alarm time was still the same so the ring continue to ring!!
the idea of ifixit worked, and now I have the problem, solved..

thank you
