| USB demo board (PIC18F4550) with MAX6675 |
 Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2012 10:16 pm |

Hello,
I'm having trouble getting a MAX6675 to work with my CCS USB demo board. I am continuously reading 0 from the chip. Is there anything obvious in my code? The LCD portion works fine. I can't use hardware SPI due to pin availablility.
The header file:
| Code: | #include <18F4550.h>
#device ICD=TRUE
#device adc=16
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128 //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES PLL5 //Divide By 5(20MHz oscillator input)
#FUSES CPUDIV1 //No System Clock Postscaler
#FUSES HSPLL //High Speed Crystal/Resonator with PLL enabled
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT //No brownout reset
//#FUSES NOLVP //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOXINST //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)
//#FUSES DEBUG
#use delay(clock=48000000)
#USE SPI (MASTER, CLK=PIN_D3, DI=PIN_D0, ENABLE=PIN_D1, MODE=0, BITS=8, STREAM=SPI_1)
|
and the code file
| Code: | #include <lcdTest.h>

{

lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
value = read_temp();
value = value>>3;
printf(lcd_putc, "%f\r\n",((float)value)*.25);
delay_ms(1000);
}
}

One item that strikes immediately is you output_low(MAX_DO);
you want that pin to be input -- not an output.
delete that (PIC's power up as inputs typically) and then see if you read back *anything* ... then see if it's what you expect.
I've used the MAX6675 (which is being replaced with the MAX31855 by the way)... and it's pretty straightforward.

Thanks Ben,
I commented out the recommended line; however, I'm still not reading anything.
Yes, the MAX6675 should be straight-forward...
Updated code: | Code: |
void init_temp()
{
output_low(MAX_CS);
setup_spi(SPI_MASTER | SPI_L_TO_H | SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H | SPI_CLK_DIV_16);
output_high(MAX_CS);
}
int16 read_temp()
{
BYTE datah, datal=0;
int16 data=0;
output_low(MAX_CS);
delay_cycles(1);
datah=SPI_READ(0);
datal=SPI_READ(0);
output_high(MAX_CS);
if( bit_test(datal,2))
{
bit_set(data,15);
return(data);
}
data = datah<<8;
data = data | datal;
return(data);
}
void main()
{
setup_timer_3(T3_DISABLED | T3_DIV_BY_1);
lcd_init();
init_temp();
float total = 0;
int i=0;
int16 value;
while(TRUE)
{
value = read_temp();
value = value>>3;
lcd_putc("\f");
lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
printf(lcd_putc, "Temp=%f\r\n",((float)value)*.25);
delay_ms(1000);
}

At this point, the fastest path to finding what's going one would be to get a 2 channel scope (at least. 3 is better) and connect up to the CS, SCK and SDO lines.
p.s. there's that "output_low(CS)" before your SPI ini, you don't need that either.
Just set output_high for CS and output_low for SCK
Then do the SPI_Setup.

Are you sure you want 'NOLVP' remmed out?. Unless you have a pull down resistor on RB5, this will stop the chip from running reliably....
Triple check the connections. The last person who had this behaviour had some form of wiring problem.

Still nothing but I borrowed an o-scope from work. It looks like the CS line is dropping low as it should; however, I'm not getting anything on the CLK and DI lines. Could this be a SPI setup issue?
I've also disabled the LCD and am now printing all results to the Monitor window via my ICD.

Look at the "setup_spi" line. Setup_spi only works with hardware SPI modules and you've designed your PIC so those pins are not available.
So if we take out "setup_spi" -- we also can't use "spi_write|read()"
We have to use spi_xfer. (#use spi and setup_spi() tend to be mutually exclusive (for simplistic purposes).
Try this code and let me know if it helps:
| Code: | #include <18F4550.h>
#device ICD=TRUE
#device adc=16
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128 //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES PLL5 //Divide By 5(20MHz oscillator input)
#FUSES CPUDIV1 //No System Clock Postscaler
#FUSES HSPLL //High Speed Crystal/Resonator with PLL enabled
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT //No brownout reset
//#FUSES NOLVP //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOXINST //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)
//#FUSES DEBUG
#use delay(clock=48000000)
#USE SPI (MASTER, CLK=PIN_D3, DI=PIN_D0, ENABLE=PIN_D1, MODE=0, BITS=8) // don't need stream. Only one SPI stream in use.
//#USE RS232 (UART1, BAUD=9600, BITS=8, ERRORS)
#define MAX_CS PIN_D1
#define MAX_DO PIN_D0
#define MAX_CLK PIN_D3
int16 read_temp() {
BYTE datah, datal=0;
int16 data=0;
output_low(MAX_CS);
delay_cycles(1);
datah=SPI_xfer(0);
datal=SPI_xfer(0);
output_high(MAX_CS);
data = datah<<8;
data = data | datal;
return(data);
}
void main() {
int16 value;
while(TRUE) {
value = read_temp();
// printf("0x%04X", value);
delay_ms(1000);
}

I noticed that bkamen just told you the truth while I was typing this all in.
I'll post mine anyway. I spent too much time typing it.
| Quote: | I can't use hardware SPI due to pin availablility.
#USE SPI (MASTER, CLK=PIN_D3, DI=PIN_D0, ENABLE=PIN_D1, MODE=0, BITS=8, STREAM=SPI_1)
|
You have defined software SPI (Read only), using pins on Port D.
OK.
But then, in your routine below, you go ahead and setup the hardware
SPI pins. That's what setup_spi() does. It's a hardware only function.
And also, there's no reason to initially take MAX_CS low. It should be
initialized to the Inactive level.
| Quote: |
void init_temp()
{
output_low(MAX_CLK);
output_low(MAX_DO);
output_low(MAX_CS);
setup_spi(SPI_MASTER | SPI_L_TO_H | SPI_CLK_DIV_16);
output_high(MAX_CS);
} |
Then in your code, below and in various other places, you are using the
hardware spi_read() function ! You should be using spi_xfer().
That's the correct function to use with the #use spi() statement.
| Quote: |
output_low(MAX_CS);
delay_cycles(1);
datah=SPI_READ(0);
datal=SPI_READ(0);
output_high(MAX_CS);
|
Also, delay_cycles() is not clock speed independent. An instruction cycle
is a lot less at 48 MHz (83 ns) than it is at 4 MHz (1 us). Ideally you
should use delay_us(1), or whatever delay amount is required.
Then furthermore, in your code above you are manually handling the CS
signal. But if you did write code to use the specified software SPI pins,
it will automatically handle the CS. That's because you specified it in the
#use spi() statement.
Another thing, in your #use spi() statement, you only set 'bits = 8'.
But the SPI transaction diagram in the MAX6675 data sheet shows 16 bits
per read operation, not 8. You should have specifed 'bits=16'. |

Oopps. forgot to take those out because of this...

He could. Software SPI is nice that way.
I tend to leave it as 8-bits because it's important to note ALL SPI DEVICES can handle 8bit chunks, but it can sometimes be trouble setting the SPI master to a chunk size (we'll just call it that) that some single device can handle. 8bits is a nice "lowest common denominator".
But in this case, 16bits is fine too.
Thanks for the additional, PCM.

Ha! Software vs. hardware setup was it! I guess this may be the downside of blindly copying max6675 code off a forum...
The numbers are a bit off but I'll chalk that up for calibration and being plugged into a breadboard. One oddity is I get slightly different results when I set BITS=8 and call SPI_xfer(0) twice versus setting BITS=16 and calling SPI_xfer(0) once. BITS=16 gives better results (more fidelity) for whatever reason--likely that is what's required based on the datasheet.
Thanks for your help!

It shouldn't matter and you should find out why it does.
Good to hear you're working...
ALWAYS be suspect of code online.
Cheers,
