PROJECT 0

My 1st PIC PROJECT, LOAD A SIMPLE LED BLINK

In this project, we are going to do a simple LEDs blinking using the LEDs on SK40C In here, we are using both o! the LEDs and blink it like a police car "esides on learning electronic parts, #ou will also learn about some coding in C using $I%&EC$ C in '(L)" COMPONENT NEEDED CODE OVERVIEW Configuration for PIC16F887 ,igure below shows the Con!iguration !or (IC4.,551 &he code abo2e can be !ound at the Con!iguration bits /C*+,I<40 in (IC4.,551 data sheet

$S >D&DIS LEDs *+ SK40C CONNECTION ,or this project, the LEDs was alread# connected to the pins -"./(*-&" .0 and -"1/(*-&" 10 So, #ou ma# onl# ha2e to con!igure the I3* pins as an output in programming part &o program the (IC4.,551, connect the 6IC00" to the ICS( (rogrammer 'ake sure the power connection is correct and *+ !or SK40C *pen '(L)" and include the (roject70 c and click to compile and build $E8 !ile )!ter 9"uild Success!ul:, the (ICKit; should automaticall# run and program the $E8 !ile into (IC4.,551 ,inall#, the LED4 and LED; will be blink like the police car "*-DIS 'CL-E+ L?(DIS

2oid main /2oid0 In !igure abo2e is the main program 4st we ha2e to t#pe 92oid main/2oid0: at the 4st line to tell the micro%controller that this is the starting point o! the program $ere, 2oid main, tell the compiler the name o! the !unctin which is main and it donGt return an# data/2oid0 (*-&) H 0F Clear the (*-& to pre2ent !rom the data latch on the (IC 'C6 &-IS) H 0b00000000F is the &ri%S&)&E -egister that declare the I3* ports as an I+(6& or *6&(6& b# /4HI+(6&0 and /0H*6&(6&0 E g &-IS" H 0b00004444 is to set the (*-&"I1J4K to *6&(6& and (*-&IEJ0K as I+(6& LED4 H 0F &hen, we make the LED4 o!! b# gi2ing it a 0 at initial state as show abo2e So as the LED; too &o make it on, just change the 0 to 4

while/40 &o make the program loop !ore2er, we use while/40 !unction while construct consists o! a block o! code and a condition &he condition is e2aluated, and i! the condition is true, the code within the block is e=ecuted In here, we put /40 to indicated that the condition is true dela#7ms/4000F is a !unction call is an e=pression containing a simple t#pe name and a parenthesiCed argument list &he argument list can contain an# number o! e=pression separated b# commas It can also be empt# In here, we put the arguments list as 400 which is 400ms

2oid dela#7ms/unsigned int ui72alue0 is an !unction that will be call and per!orm in the main !unction 92oid dela#7ms:, here we are telling the compiler that out !unction is name dela#7ms and it donGt return an# data /2oid0 /unsigned int ui72alue0 is the parameter use to insert 2alue depending to our reBuirement 9int: mean integer which the minimum allow range are between %E;1.1 to ME;1.1/; "#tes0 9unsigned int: mean that the data we can insert is between 0 to .DDED &here are man# data t#pe that we can assign and use that act as the temporar# space !or micro%controller to store the data while/ui72alue%% K 00 in this condition, i! the ui72alue is subtract b# one at the time and check i! the ui72alue isGt still greater then 0 &he code within the while loop will be running !or man# times until the ui72alue is less then 0 77dela#7ms/40F &his is the macro !rom $I%&EC$ complier which will generate 4ms dela# base on 2alue o! 78&)L7,-EA
