Some of the PIC pics cant output 5V (SOLVED)
PostPosted: Mon Dec 03, 2018 2:41 pm     Reply with quote

Hey everyone. I googled and googled and couldnt find an anwser.

I have a pic18f24k22. The pic is connected to a few transistors and buttons. Outputs and inputs of pins like RC0 RC1 RA4 RA6 work, i can use them as both digital inputs and outputs.

The problems is with the analog pins (ex. RA2, RA3, RA5 and just any pin, that has an Analog ANx value). I cannot output from them (ex. PIN_C5).

Also an interesting problem, is PIN_A7, the output doesnt work either, but PIN_A6 works perfectly.

Why do some pins works and others not? especially the analog ones?

All of the pins tested ar not connected to anything, they are just bare pins. The other pins while testing work perfectly.

main.c
Code:

#include <main.h>

void main() {
   while(TRUE){
      output_high(PIN_A7);
      //PIN_C5 doesnt work either
   }

}


main.h
Code:

#include <18F24K22.h>
#device ADC=10
#INCLUDE <STDLIB.H>           //Needed for srand()


#FUSES NOWDT                  //No Watch Dog Timer

#use delay(internal=1000000)

Add the INTRC_IO fuse. That will fix it.

How about posting a full test program that demonstrates all the pins
that don't work ? I have the feeling that your real program has lines
of code that you are not showing us, that are causing the problem.

Also post your compiler version. It's a 4 digit number at the top of the
.LST file. Example: 5.081.

By and large pins with analogue function default to analogue.
They won't work as digital if don't disable the analogue function.
Have you done this?

Mike brings up a GREAT point..something that would be obviously seen in a posted program. Historically , you've got to disable( turn off) any/all peripherals that can be accessed by I/O pins, if you need simple I/O.
That would include ADC, COMP, etc. My 'pet peeve' is that the PIC and compiler should default to all 'simple I/O' ,since... in the beginning that's all a PIC had...what came later are 'optional features' to me. Smile

Actually, you don't have to do all that stuff. The compiler does it for you.
Compile his posted program and look at the compiler generated code at
the start of main(). I've add comments on what it does:
Code:

.................... void main() { 
0004:  CLRF   TBLPTRU
0006:  BCF    RCON.IPEN
0008:  MOVLW  30
000A:  MOVWF  OSCCON
000C:  BCF    OSCTUNE.PLLEN
000E:  BCF    OSCTUNE.INTSRC
0010:  MOVLB  F
0012:  CLRF   x38  // ANSELA = 0x00  (make it all digital pins)
0014:  CLRF   x39  // ANSELB = 0x00  (make it all digital pins)
0016:  CLRF   x3A  // ANSELC = 0x00  (make it all digital pins)
0018:  CLRF   CM2CON1   // Disable comparator features
001A:  CLRF   CM2CON0   // Comparator 2 disabled
001C:  CLRF   CM1CON0   // Comparator 1 disabled
001E:  CLRF   04        // strtok.save = 0x0000
0020:  CLRF   05
..................

However, it's possible that he has some early version that doesn't do this.
That's why I asked for his version number.

Okay, here is the version of the compiler: CCS PCH C Compiler, Version 5.074, xxxxx

This is the complete code, everything not shown is completely commented out.
Code:

#include <main.h>

void main() {
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   //Initializes starting pin values
   init();

   
   
   while(TRUE){
      output_high(green_tran);
   }

}



//Initializes starting pin values
void init(void){
   output_low(red_tran);
   output_low(yellow_tran);
   output_low(blue_tran);
   output_low(green_tran);
   output_low(red_led);
   output_low(yellow_led);
   output_low(blue_led);
   output_low(green_led);
}


main.h
Code:

#include <18F24K22.h>
#device ADC=10
#INCLUDE <STDLIB.H>           //Needed for srand()


#FUSES NOWDT  INTRC_IO                //No Watch Dog Timer

#use delay(internal=1000000)

#define red_led      PIN_C0 
#define yellow_led   PIN_C1
#define blue_led     PIN_A4
#define green_led    PIN_A6

#define red_tran     PIN_A1
#define yellow_tran  PIN_A3
#define blue_tran    PIN_A5
#define green_tran   PIN_A7  //not working

void init(void);


The PIN_A7 is unconnected. I checked the voltage and its 0.03V. When i tested the other pins from the same ground point, those pins work, so i am certain its not the testing that is the problem. Even with the fuse, the A7 pin doesnt work.

Are you sure you're looking at the correct pin ? What PIC package are
you using ? What physical pin number are you probing ?

Also, look at the list of fuses at the end of your .LST file. Make sure that
it has the INTRC_IO fuse as the first one as shown below:
Code:

Configuration Fuses:
   Word  1: E800   INTRC_IO NOPLLEN PRIMARY FCMEN IESO
   Word  2: 3C1E   PUT BROWNOUT BORV19 NOWDT WDT32768
   Word  3: BF00   CCP2C1 PBADEN CCP3B5 HFOFST TIMER3C0 CCP2B5 MCLR
   Word  4: 0081   STVREN NOLVP NOXINST NODEBUG
   Word  5: C003   NOPROTECT NOCPB NOCPD
   Word  6: E003   NOWRT NOWRTC NOWRTB NOWRTD
   Word  7: 4003   NOEBTR NOEBTRB

Er....

Just compiled the posted code, on his compiler version. Ran it through on
MPLAB. Everything looks good. The ANSEL registers are all correctly
programmed etc.. There is an issue though that the primary clock is
hardware enabled. Though not being used (internal oscillator), this leaves
the oscillator input pin committed to this oscillator.
(visible in PCM_Programmer's fuses above).

Set the fuses as:

#FUSES NOWDT, INTRC_IO , PRIMARY_SW //No Watch Dog Timer

and the pin should become available for normal use.

As a comment, can I suggest it is better to always leave includes till
_after_ the chip is configured. So:

Code:

#include <18F24K22.h>
#device ADC=10

#FUSES NOWDT, INTRC_IO, PRIMARY_SW

#use delay(internal=1000000)

#INCLUDE <STDLIB.H>           //Needed for srand()


If you include something that uses stdio, or something that relies on
timings, _before_ these are setup, it will lead to issues. Always safer
to set the chip up, and only then include thing... Very Happy

re: PCM P's comment.....
I don't trust the compiler for 'defaults'...been 'bit' a few times in the past. I like to see my code control the setup / config of the PICs.
It's not just the compiler, rather 'defaults' in general.

Still not working. 9 pin (PIN_A7) is 0.02V. main.c is the same, main.h is updated:

main.h
Code:

#include <18F24K22.h>
#device ADC=10

#FUSES NOWDT, INTRC_IO , PRIMARY_SW       //No Watch Dog Timer

#use delay(internal=1000000)

#INCLUDE <STDLIB.H>           //Needed for srand()

#define red_led      PIN_C0 
#define yellow_led   PIN_C1
#define blue_led     PIN_A4
#define green_led    PIN_A6

#define red_tran     PIN_A1
#define yellow_tran  PIN_A3
#define blue_tran    PIN_A5
#define green_tran   PIN_A7  //not working

void init(void);


My PIC is PIC18F24K22 DIP.

Btw, how do i embed pictures?

I checked the fuses, and they are listed in the correct order, just like the ones you gave in the example.

Configuration Fuses:
Word 1: C800 INTRC_IO NOPLLEN PRIMARY_SW FCMEN IESO
Word 2: 3C1E PUT BROWNOUT BORV19 NOWDT WDT32768

Word 5: C003 NOPROTECT NOCPB NOCPD
Word 6: E003 NOWRT NOWRTC NOWRTB NOWRTD

What is connected to Pin A7 (pin 9 on the PIC) on your board ?

Nothing, just like in the picture. The other pins, non analog work fine.

Honestly on the photograph it is not possible to be 'sure'. There are whiskers
coming out of the pin and (importantly), there seem to be whiskers visible from
the Vss connection next door, that could be making contact with the pin.
Magnifying glass and scalpel, and make sure it is not making contact to
anything else.

Multimeter continuity test doesnt show a connection on either sides of the pin.

For now, im installing MPLABX and see if it is a CCS C problem.

Changed out PIC's but both of theres pina7 doesnt work.[/code]
