1. : Construct and simulate real time embedded system application

based on PIC16F/PIC18F microcontroller effectively .( CLO3 - P4,
PLO5 - DK6, DP1, DP3 & DP5 )

2 OBJECTIVE

At the end of the practical session, student should be able to:

i. Write C program to enable interrupt in PIC18F
ii. Modify a program based on the given problem.

3 THEORY

External Interrupts INT0, INT1 and INT2

The PIC18 has three external hardware interrupts. Pins RB0, RB1, and RB2,
designated as INT0, INT1, and INT2 respectively, are used as external
hardware interrupts. See Figure 4-1. Upon activation of these pins, the PIC18
gets interrupted in whatever it is doing and jumps to the interrupt vector to
perform the Interrupt Service Routine. All three hardware interrupts are direct
to vector table location at 0008H memory.

Figure 4-1: External Hardware Interrupt Pins

These interrupts are edge triggered interrupts i.e. triggered by either rising edge
or by falling edge. The edge trigger bit is present in an INTCON2 register.

INTCON2: Interrupt Control Register

INTEDG0: External Interrupt 0 Edge select bit

1= Interrupt on Rising Edge
0= Interrupt on Falling Edge

INTEDG1: External Interrupt 1 Edge select bit

1= Interrupt on Rising Edge
0= Interrupt on Falling Edge

INTEDG2: External Interrupt 2 Edge select bit

1= Interrupt on Rising Edge
0= Interrupt on Falling Edge

INTCON

GIE/GIEH: Global Interrupt Enable bit

When IPEN is disabled, GIE enables all interrupts that sets
When IPEN is enabled, GIEH enables all high priority interrupts that sets
PEIE/GIEL: Peripheral Interrupt Enable bit
When IPEN is disabled, PEIE enables all peripheral interrupts that sets
When IPEN is enabled, GIEL enables all low priority interrupts
INT0IE: INT0 External Interrupt Enable bit. Enables the INT0 external interrupt that sets
INT0IF: INT0 External Interrupt Flag bit. Sets when INT0 external interrupt occu r
 Figure 4-2: Programming External Interrupt

TMR0 Interrupt

In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the TMR0 register (FFh -->
00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In 16-bit mode, an overflow in the
TMR0H:TMR0L register pair (FFFFh ---> 0000h) will set TMR0IF. The interrupt can
be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, TMR0IE of the INTCON register.
Interrupt priority for Timer0 is determined by the value contained in the interrupt
priority bit, TMR0IP of the INTCON2 register.

5 SAFETY OPERATING PROCEDURE (SOP)
This is a partial list of basic safety precautions to use when working on a
computer:
 Keep food and drinks out of your workspace.
 Keep your workspace clean and free of clutter.
 Remove your watch and jewelry and secure loose clothing.
 Make sure the computer equipment is plug in and turn ON the power
switch.
 Never unplug a power supply while the equipment working.
 Do not touch areas at hot or that use a high voltage.
 Know where the fire extinguisher is located and how to use it.
 Bend your knees when lifting heavy objects to avoid injuring your back.
 Follow electrical safety guidelines to prevent electrical fires, injuries, and
fatalities in the workplace. Power supplies and monitors contain a high
voltage.

CAUTION
Do not repairing power supplies or monitors if broken. Only experienced
technicians should attempt to repair power supplies and monitors.
6.0 PROCEDURE
6.1 PART A : External Interrupt
To begin, create a subfolder named PW4 on your DEC40053 folder. Create a
new PROTEUS project named PW4A and save it in the PW4 folder. Select
PIC18F4550 and MPLAB XC8 compiler in Firmware.

6.2 Write the given program code below into your source code file and then click on
build project button until successful. If any error occurs, fix it. Show your
programs that have successfully build to your lecturer.
#include <xc.h>

void main(void)
{
TRISB=0b00000011; // Set RB0 & RB1 as Input Pin
ADCON1=0x0E; //Set analog port to digital port
INT0IF = 0; //Reset the External Interrupt Flag
INTEDG0 = 1; //Interrupt on the Rising Edge
INT0IE = 1; //Enable the External Interrupt
GIE = 1; //Set the Global Interrupt Enable

while (1){

7 TASK

TASK 1

A security door is attached to a SENSOR switch (active LOW) which is

connected to RB2/INT2 and a OUTPUT buzzer (active HIGH) is connected to
RD7. While door close LED Green ON (RD0) and when door open LED Red ON
(RD1). Design a control system, so that every time the door is opened, the
buzzer beeps twice. Apply external hardware interrupt programming for this
system. Set the interrupt to be triggered on rising edge.
 TASK 2

ABC Company Sdn. Bhd has assigned by Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu to
install a traffic lights systems at the busiest traffic Jalan Kuala Krai - Kota Bharu.
As a technical support, you are responsible to design the system for pedestrian
to cross the road. The specifications are given by the engineer as below:
(a) Use PIC18F4550 Microcontroller, an active LOW push button, an active
HIGH LED for vehicles (red, yellow and green) and active HIGH LED for
pedestrians (green and red).
(b) Push button must be connected to RA4 while LED are connected to
PORTD.
(c) To cross the road, pedestrian has to press the push button that is
programmed as timer interrupt. The systems will function as normal after
the interrupt.
