I2C problem
PostPosted: Wed Nov 28, 2012 5:52 am     Reply with quote

I'm trying to display a text message from the I2C master, but it somehow halts after reading the address word. I use the flexible LCD driver from this forum posted by the PCM programmer. I also use an assembler file for the master which works with an assembler file for the slave. I have tried to program the slave in C language but i cannot get it to work Sad . The reason for programming it in C is that i want to develop my C programming skills. Here is the slave Code:

Code:

//*******************************************************************
//dbt_kypd_echo_slave
//Displays any character sent on I2C from Master.

Reading the programs that CCS supplies in the 'examples' folder and 'searching' this fourm will be two of your best friends!

The answers are here and there but you need to get familiar with 'search'.As well, the 'code library' is full of working code as well.

You're not the first to migrate from assembler to CCS C ( I did 15+ years ago...) so what you seek is here.

From a hardware point, be sure to use the correct pullups for the I2C bus ! Usually 4k7 to 2k2 will work. Also, there's a nice I2C Diagnostic program here,from PCM programmer I think, that you should copy and use. It's a GREAT tool to confirm what's going on !

Please take time out to really read the example code, even stuff that doesn't look relevant to what you're trying to do. Take note of how it looks and how it does things. Notice that looks very different to the assembler code you're ued to writing.

Your C code looks like, and clearly is assembler code that you've tried to re-write in C. That is not a good way to learn C. You really need to start again and write C, not convert assembler into C.

CCS C provides a rich "library" of built-in handlers for many PIC hardware functions. It does so in a reasonably PIC non-specific way, so that you can easily port CCS C code from one PIC to another, even from one range of PIC to another. It doesn't always work, and newer functions don't always work, especially on the more complex, but comparitively infrequently used PICs in the 24, dsPIC and 32 series.

CCS C provides almost all the functionality of your code in just a handful of function calls, or code that looks like function calls. For the vast majority of CCS C applications you should never need to define any SFRs and bits within them. All of that is done for you in a largely device independant way. You never need to know port addresses - the compiler handles that too - nor generally do you need to know about TRIS settings (though time and time again folk post code with it to this forum: clearly unaware that its not needed and causes trouble).

You've retained the assembler comments that show me you've not really thought through what's happening in C, instead you're assumung its just like it was in assembler. It's not. For example your comment for your INT_SSP ISR says: "Interrupt ... Does not context save, as all action is in ISRs." CCS C provides a lot of behind the scenes interrupt handling. It DOES save the context for you, whether you like it or not (you can't turn it off). It also handles the clearing of interrupt flag bits and enabling and disabling of interrupts, so you shouldn't. Compare what you wrote to the I2C slave ISR in EX_SLAVE.C. I'll risk posting it here, just the ISR - we should not generally post CCS example code to this forum - to illustrate just how different the C version of the ISR looks to yours. Note there's no SFRs, indeed almost no obvious reference to the hardware at all: that's done through calls to the CCS "library" code. Also it uses buffers on input and output, which is advisable and arguably much easier handled in C than it is in assembler.
Code:

#INT_SSP
void ssp_interrupt ()
{
   BYTE incoming, state;
   
   state = i2c_isr_state();
   
   if(state <= 0x80)                     //Master is sending data
   {
      if(state == 0x80)
         incoming =i2c_read(2);           //Passing 2 as parameter, causes the function to read the SSPBUF without releasing the clock
      else
         incoming = i2c_read();
     
      if(state == 1)                      //First received byte is address
         address = incoming;
      else if(state >=2 && state !=0x80)  //Received byte is data
         buffer[address++] = incoming;
   }
   
   if(state >= 0x80)                      //Master is requesting data
   {
      i2c_write(buffer[address++]);
   }
}

This is the code on which you should base your ISR. Indeed you may even be able to use this code directly. You see quite a few people have difficulties with implementing I2C slaves, and if they all use this CCS example code as a basis then they'd probably have fewer problems. We *should* see this code posted over and over as part of user code in threads on I2C slave problems. We don't. We nearly always see a half-baked version of it....

So please take the time to get used to writing C and exploiting the power of CCS C. Don't think of it as assembler with a twist. Its a whole new world. And yes, if you are wondering, you'll have to do the same paradigm shift again to go to C++ or C#.

I have changed my code and removed as much as assembler habits as possible:

I still have trouble making it work. In the code above I implemented some debug statements. A diagnostic led and a counter to count the number of ISR calls and identify which if statements are entered. I only get one ISR call and the led is lit, this means that the address is read and stored in the address variable, after that the ISR is not called a second time. I have no idea why this is the case.

I have tried so many different things that at the moment I'm kind of empty on ideas. Suggestions anyone?? Again help would be appreciated very much.

ps the pull up resistors seem to be right, because it works when master and slave code are in assembler
