18F14Q40 Configuration issue

[okmn]

  Now I'm fighting another nonsense,
  The hero of this nonsense is 18F14Q40

i want just simple blink again  but i could not find  where am i making wrong!

"yes" to any coding help.

What happens if you don't use TOGGLE but actually switch the ports with HIGH and LOW.
As far as I know, the TOGGLE instruction reads the PORT and then controls the PORT inversely.
But if the PORT is slightly overloaded, the same level is always assumed.

So try:

DO
  HIGH PORTC.0
  DELAYMS 500
  HIGH PORTA.2
  DELAYMS 500
  LOW  PORTC.0
  DELAYMS 500
  LOW  PORTA.2
  DELAYMS 500
LOOP

There were a few things incorrect in your code listing.

The While-Wend loop after the oscillator SFR settings will never exit because that is waiting for the PLL to become stable, but the internal 64MHz oscillator does not use the PLL peripheral the same as if it is enabled by the program (RSTOSC = HFINTOSC_64MHZ). The SFR settings were also set for a different fuse setting and enabling the PLL, so this would interfere with the HFINTOSC_64MHZ fuse and timings would be incorrect if the While-Wend were replaced with a simple delay to allow the oscillator to become stable before the main program starts. For the waiting loop for the PLL and the frequency altered using SFRs, the RSTOSC fuse needs to be set as: HFINTOSC_1MHZ.

With the HFINTOSC_64MHZ fuse setting, no SFR manipulation is required for the device's frequency. It will automatically operate at 64MHz on power-up.

Also, in the fuse settings the vectored interrupt was enabled and PPS single use lock and some other single use locks were enabled, so a program would not be able to alter them, and interrupts would not work at all because the compiler does not use vectored interrupts.

Below is a tested and working program to operate a PIC18F14Q40 device using its internal 64MHz oscillator, and flashing LEDs at the correct speed:

Also, all your original code that was copied and adapted from the MPLABX IDE is just not needed in the vast majority of programs, and the Positron compilers set pins to digital mode before a user's program starts. All of those SFR settings produced by the MPLABX MCC plugin actually creates a huge amount of wasted code, and can cause problems themselves. The MCC plugin comes in handy sometimes, but not just used "as-is". :-)

One good thing about the newer 18FxxQ4x devices is that they appear to have a standard for their peripherals and SFRs, so code for one should work on another, within limits.

They are new devices with some new, and quear, features, but after time they will become really nice devices to use. However, never take what the MCC plugin spits out too literally. It is microchip after all ! And it is paid third parties who probably do not actually use the devices, that are creating the code generation. So what is good on paper, does not always work in the real world unless you use it practically and understand it fully, as my dad always used to tell me. :-)

Hello friends;
I want to run Timer0 interrupt with PIC18F14Q40. I made the timer0 settings as follows, so that there is an interrupt every 100uS.
T0CON0 = $93 (16 bit, Prescaler: 16, Postscaler: 4, clock source:Fosc/4)
T0CON1 = $44
TMR0H = $FF
TMR0L = $E7
However, the interrupt occurs approximately every 200mS, instead of every 100uS.
The crystal frequency is internally set to 64MHz.
t= Prescaler*Postscaler*(65536-65511)/(Fosc/4)
I calculated it with the formula.
What is the point I missed? I would appreciate it if you could help me.
(After solving this problem, I want to experiment with Timer2 interrupt.)

When I define Timer0 as 8-Bit and not 16-Bit, it works fine. In this situation
'16-Bit
' TMR0H = $FF
' TMR0L = $E7
'8-Bit
    TMR0H = $18
    TMR0L = 0
'T0OUTPS 1:4; T0EN enabled; T016BIT 16-bit;
'T0CON0 = $93
'T0OUTPS 1:4; T0EN enabled; T016BIT 8-bit;
T0CON0 = $83
should be set as .
But why does it work correctly when we set it to 8-bit, but not when we set it to 16-bit?

[top204]

In past projects I've used Timer0 operating in 16-bit mode on a PIC18F05Q41 device and it works well.

The smaller Q devices seem to match each other, for now, with SFRs, and the demonstration template code listing I have just created below compiles correctly, so it should work on a PIC18F14Q40 device.

I've used Timer0 operating in 16-bit mode on a PIC18F05Q41 device and it works well.

The smaller Q devices seem to match each other, for now, with SFRs, and the demonstration template code listing I have just created below compiles correctly, so it should work on a PIC18F14Q40 device.

Thanks for the reply Les;
If the postscaler is selected as 1:1 in the code, my code works properly. However, when we change the postscaler ratio, the code works incorrectly as I mentioned before.
Note: There is no problem with the prescaler ratio, I can make adjustments by making any changes I want.
Thanks in advance.

Just came across this thread.

I would like to setup a timer to 100Hz with an 18F05Q41.

Before I had a calculator for interrupts, but it is not suitable for these devices.

Can someone tell me where to look in the datasheet to calculate prescaler / postscaler and value of wTimer0_SFR to achieve a desired frequency please?

Regards

Joe 

[Stephen Moss]

Before I had a calculator for interrupts, but it is not suitable for these devices.

Why? At first glance the timer look fairly standard in its operation.

Can someone tell me where to look in the datasheet to calculate prescaler / postscaler and value of wTimer0_SFR to achieve a desired frequency please?

Appears to the in the usual place (in the relevant Timer section), Postscaler is T0CON0 on page 359 of the datasheet, Prescaler & clock source selection is T0CON1 on page 360.
As for Timer value, that depends on you preferred clock source, some prefer a slower clock to try and get something close enough that they can avoid having to count rollovers, while others may prefer a higher clock and to count the number of rollovers as it may be more accurate.

[JonW]

Stephen is right; this is no different than any other PIC timer, so standard calculators should work.
Here is a good Gui based one GUI CALC : See Les's code at bottom too

Or this Python script with calculate it based on the timeout needed and xtal freq

Also see my post in the "Interrupts" section of the forum's WIKI:

Timer overflow interrupt calculation within the BASIC source code

Once a Timer's SFRs are known and $defined by examining the datasheet, the calculation for the interrupt interval is the same for all Timers.
