TIMER1 1sec int external 32.768 Real-Time Clock
PostPosted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 10:12 am     Reply with quote

HI
I'm posting this code as help for people who need some help starting with Real-Time Clock. Counts seconds, minutes using interrupt TIMER1 with External asynchronous crystal 32.768Khz and 33pF caps on Pins between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). (Look at data sheets).

I had an issue of myself with this code, I couldn't have exactly 1sec interrupt. I was always 1-2 sec forward with my (casio) watch. Searching the forum didn't find exactly where was the issue, until I looked at the datasheet picture and found that the oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 12-3, should be
located as close as possible to the microcontroller, grounded with Vss <<LOOK AT THE PICTURE>> so i give a try and finallly noticed that there was "NO MORE ERROR". Cool
This code uses internal 8MHZ crystal with 32.768 KHz crystal for RTC, flexy_lcd.c driver for 2x16 LCD can be found in the forum.




Code:

#include <18F2550.h>
#device ICD=TRUE

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale

#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES BORV20                   //Brownout reset at 2.0V

Use this as the interrupt. This uses 3 instructions that do the following.
1) Enable access to the individual bytes of the timer register
2) Add 32768 to timer1 by setting high bit or timer register
3) Disable access to the individual bytes of the timer register
Code:

#Byte TMR1H = 0xFCF
#Byte T1CON = 0xFCD
#int_TIMER1
void TIMER1_isr()
{  bit_clear(T1CON,7);
   Bit_Set(TMR1H,7);     
   Bit_Set(T1CON,7);     
   flg=true;
}

and remove this
Code:
set_timer1(32768);

This will have improved performance and accuracy. There will be no error introduced by setting the timer to 32768 after the timer has incremented to 3 or 4.

good
but i think there is a problem with hours...
Code:

      if (++sec>59){
                       sec=0;
         if(++min>59){
                       min=0;
                       hour++;
        if(++hour>23){
                             
                     hour=0;
                             }
                     }
         }

the hours increment two time for one!

Listen, Hi, I tested this code with Proteus with the pic18f8720 and it doesn't work. What can I do? Please help me.

I have tested this on Proteus and "no" it doesn't work.. when you simulate the external crystal. The code works - the problem is with Proteus.

You can get around this just by providing a 32768hz clock straight into T1OSI.

Hello Neutone!


Why did you disable and enable the 7th bit of T1CON only to set the 7th bit of TMR1H?

I don't understand that.

Doing so will, as per the datasheet, shift the timer clock source to instruction clock (Fosc/4).

TMR1CS<1:0>: Timer1/3/5 Clock Source Select bits
00 = Timer1/3/5 clock source is instruction clock (FOSC/4)

<1:0> does not mean bit 7. It means bits 0 and 1.

Look in the PIC data sheet at the T1CON register. You'll see that
bit 7 is the RD16 bit in T1CON.

RD16 is bit1.
Or maybe it differs for different uCs.
I am talking about PIC18(L)F2X/4XK22

Look at page number 172 of the datasheet.

By the way, i understand it now. thank you.
One more question: why are you clearing it before setting the 7th bit of TMR1H and then setting it afterwards. the default value of the bit is 0, as per the datasheet. Can't it be left unaltered? because we are not doing any 16-bit read/write operation in this program?

Also, my compiler is showing TMR1H and T1_CLK_OUT as undefined identifier.
I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the compiler, but no progress. Can anyone help me out with this? my compiler version is the latest 5.56.

Thanks a lot.

My advice is, open a new thread in the main forum. You have a different,
much newer technology PIC (K22 series). A real-time clock with an
external 32.768KHz crystal is setup differently with your PIC. This thread
is about the older 18F2550 series.

I found the solution.

Instead of T1_CLK_OUT parameter in setup_timer1(), my device header file define T1_ENABLE_SOSC, so i am using that.

and my compiler version does not allows access to individual registers, so i am using set_timer1() instead of bit_set() and bit_clear() functions, as in the original program posted by E_KARVELAs.

Either way, can anyone suggest any way i could use the bit_set() and bit_clear() functions as suggested by Neutone???

Thanks a lot.
