In-Person, Due is Next Week
Objectives:
 To be familiar with PIC24F Timers.
 Be familiar with the process of downloading and debugging programs on PIC24 microcontroller
using ICD 3.
Equipment and Tools:

 Personal Computer
 Explorer 16 Development Board
 In-Circuit Debugger (ICD 3)
 USB A/B cable
 9V DC adapter
 Oscilloscop.
 MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment v6.0
Theory
According to the family manual, a PIC24F device has 5_16 bit timers. Each timer x
has the following registers:
• TMRx: 16-Bit Timer Count register.
• PRx: 16-Bit Timer Period register associated with the timer.
• TxCON: 16-Bit Timer Control register associated with the timer.
Each of those timers also contain interrupt control bits:
• Interrupt Enable Control bit (TxIE)
• Interrupt Flag Status bit (TxIF)
• Interrupt Priority Control bits (TxIP)
In addition to the previous, it is possible to cluster 2 16-bits counters to form a 32-bit counter.
In the output control subsystem, we could compare the values of compare registers.
Which gives us the ability to generate a single output pulse, a train of output pluses, or
compare match/mismatch events. This could be used to accurately generate pulse width
modulated signals by specifying the period register and the timer.
Lab work:
1. [20] Write a C language program to use 1:256 pre scaler, [ use Delay function in Config.h]
 Flash PortA every 0.5 Sec,
 Turn it on for 100 mSec, and off for 400 mSec, check them both on Oscilloscope.
2. [40] Write a C language program to, here use 1:1 pre scaler, [Remove Delay Function from
Config.h].
 Draw a PWM with 16KHz, and 25% Duty cycle or 50% if S3 is pressed.
 Draw a PWM with 32KHz, and 25% Duty cycle 50% if S3 is pressed.

3. [30] Do the following waveforms using Timer1 Interrupts, accurately determine the PR1 value
here, check on the oscilloscope.
#include "Config.h"
void main(void)
{
_TRISA0=0;
_T1IF=0;
_T1IP=1; // 0 disable
_T1IE=1;
PR1=31250; // 500ms/16us = 31250 clock

// 1000ms/16us = 62500 near maximum
T1CON =0x8030; // 32MHz32/2/256 = 16 uSec for 1 Clock Cycle
while(1);
}
void _ISR _T1Interrupt(void)

{
_LATA0 =~_LATA0; // or _LATA0 ^=1;
_T1IF =0;
Update the delay to be as follow and test the code.

 250 ms >> PR1 =
 1 ms >> PR1 =
 10 ms >> PR1 =
 50 ms >> PR1 =
Time for on is: -

 250 ms >> Lab Tip>>> PR1 = 250*1000u/16u = 15625 >>> PR1
 1 ms >>
 10 ms >>
 50 ms >> Lab Tip>> PR1 = 50 000u/16u = 3125

1. Cover sheet.
2. Brief discussion about LCD.
3. Questions and Source Codes of all items in the lab work.
4. Keep your codes well documented.

Lab Tips:
Write a program using Timer1 to generate.

 PWM with 4KHz, and 30% Duty cycle, or 40% if S3 (active low) is pressed.
(Timer Polling) with PS 1:1 or 0.0625Usec

1/4KHz = 250Usec = Period, TFLY = 250u/0.0625u < 4000
Ton = 4000 * 0.3 =1200 Counts, TFLY< 1200

Toff = 4000 * 0.7= 2800, (Ton + Toff), TFLY< (1200 + 2800) or < 4000
Ton = 4000 * 0.4 = 1600 Counts

Toff = 4000-1600 = 2400, (Ton + Toff), TFLY< (2400 + 1600) or < 4000
IF (!S3) TFLY= 1600 for On, and 4000 for Off , ELSE TFLY= 1200 for On, and
4000 for Off .
 PWM with 8KHz, and 10% Duty cycle, or 50% if S3 (active low) is pressed.
(Timer Polling) with PS 1:1

1/8KHz = 125Usec = Period, TFLY < 2000
Ton = 2000 * 0.1 =200 Counts, TFLY< 200

Toff = 2000 * 0.9= 1800, (Ton + Toff), TFLY< (200 + 1800) or < 2000
Ton = 2000 * 0.5 = 1000 Counts

Toff = 2000-1000 = 1000, (Ton + Toff), TFLY< (200 + 1800) or < 2000
IF (!S3) TFLY= 1000 for On, and 2000 for Off , ELSE TFLY= 200 for On, and
2000 for Off.
