If something doesn't work, make a very simple test program that tests
only one thing. See if it works. For example, here is a program to
test PWM on the CCP1 pin. Test it, exactly as shown, with no changes.
| Code: |
#include <16F877.h>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, PUT, BROWNOUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
//==========================
void main()
{
setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_16, 255, 1);
setup_ccp1(CCP_PWM);
set_pwm1_duty(128); // 50% duty cycle
while(1);
} |

| Have you got pullup resistors on your pushbuttons? And why not use Port B, which has internal ones? |

Hello PCM programmer and thank you for responding
I did exactly what you told me to do and still nothing on the CCP1 (PIN_C2) there is no signal :( |

Yes I did put resistors on both push buttons and the port B is for the LCD |

Does the PIC do anything ? Have you ever made it blink an LED ?
If you have no PWM signal, it could be because:
1. You have the LVP fuse enabled while not needing it, and pin B3 is
not connected to ground with a pull-down resistor, and is floating.
This causes the PIC to lock-up when pin B3 floats to a high level.
Solution: Change it to NOLVP.
2. The PIC is not running, because the oscillator is not working, or the
PIC is held in reset because the MCLR pin doesn't have a pull-up resistor
on it, or the PIC doesn't have power or ground connected to it.
3. The CCP1 pin may be connected to a very low resistance load
which the output driver on the PIC's CCP1 pin can't handle, and
therefore you see no PWM signal. The pin is loaded down too much.
Solution: Disconnect the load (the motor, or whatever it is). See if
you now get a signal. If so, you need an external driver for the motor. |

Hello PCM programmer,
I tried the program in ISIS in this circuit
It's a simple schematic but it doesn't work the pin CCP1 (PIN C2) is always blue (LOW 0v)
I'm really confused |
