pic18f4620 xc8 compiler bundle

May 22, 2014 Leave a comment

Here’s a small (5.2 MB) bundle that I use to compile and program c code on my pic18f4620 using a pickit2 on my PC. I’ve only tested this on XP.

It doesn’t have all the features of a full blown IDE like MPLABX (no stepping through code I’m afraid) but is a nice concise package that encourages the use of command line scripting.

Getting Started

  • Download the zip file on to your PC or, preferably, a USB key
  • Extract the files to a folder on your PC or USB key

The extracted folder contains the xc8 compiler files (modified to work with the pic18f4620 only), the pk2cmd software tool which is used to communicate with the PICkit2, and Notepad++, which can be used to write and modify code.

To create a new project do the following:

        1. First create a new folder inside the “robosumo_files” folder and copy the build.bat file into that folder.
        2.  Run the Notepad++  editor and paste the example code (flashing LED) given below. Save the code in the new folder as a file called “main.c” (don’t include quotes in the filename).
        3. Make sure the PICkit2 programmer is correctly connected to the PIC18f4620 and finally double click the build.bat file.
        4. If there are no errors in the code and the hardware is set up correctly then the PIC18f4620 will be programmed.

robosumo_build_result

Example Code – Flashing LED

This is a pared back example program for the PIC18F4620. It blinks an LED connected to pin 19 (RD0). See this circuit

#pragma config OSC=INTIO67,MCLRE=OFF,WDT=OFF,LVP=OFF,BOREN=OFF

int main(void)
{
	// Make RD0 a digital output
	TRISD = 0b11111110;

	while(1)
	{
		LATDbits.LATD0 = 1; // Set pin RD0 high
		_delay(125000);     // 0.5 second delay
		LATDbits.LATD0 = 0; // Set pin RD0 low
		_delay(125000);     // 0.5 second delay

pic18f4620 assembly bundle

May 22, 2014 Leave a comment

Here’s a small (3.6 MB) bundle that I use to program my pic18f4620 using a pickit2 with assembly code on my PC. I’ve only tested this on XP.

It doesn’t have all the features of a full blown IDE like MPLABX (no stepping through code I’m afraid) but is a nice concise package that encourages the use of command line scripting.

The bundle also includes some example code.

Getting Started

Download the bundle from here and extract the files.

pic18fassemby_extracted_files

The extracted folder contains the mpasmx assembler files, the pk2cmd software tool which is used to communicate with the PICkit2, and Notepad++ text editor, which can be used to write and modify code.

The bundle includes 6 example projects.

To create a new project do the following:

  1. First create a new folder inside the “pic18f4620_asm” folder and copy the build.bat file into that folder.
  2. Run the Notepad++ editor and paste the example code (flashing LED) given below. Save the code in the new folder as a file called “main.asm” (don’t include quotes in the filename).
  3. Make sure the PICkit2 programmer is correctly connected to the PIC18f4620 and finally double click the build.bat file.
  4. If there are no errors in the code and the hardware is set up correctly then the PIC18f4620 will be programmed.

Example Code to work with this circuit
This code will flash the LED connected to pin 19 (RD0)

;configure the  assembler directive 'list' so as to set processor to 18f4620 and set the radix used for data expressions to decimal (can be HEX|DEC|OCT)
    list p=18f4620, r=DEC
    #include <p18f4620.inc>
; configure the micro so that the watchdog timer is off, low-voltage programming is off, master clear is off and the clock works off the internal oscillator
    config WDT=OFF, LVP=OFF, MCLRE=OFF, OSC=INTIO67
;The org directive tells the compiler where to position the code in memory
    org 0x0000 ;The following code will be programmed in reset address location i.e. This is where the micro jumps to on reset
    goto Main ;Jump to Main immediately after a reset

pic18f assembly example 6 – discrete filter implementation

May 20, 2014 Leave a comment
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; This assembly code sets up a timer interrupt to be triggered every millisecond on the pic18f4620.
; When the interrupt service routine is called an ADC on channel 0 is performed and this value  is used as an
;    input to the discrete system given by the difference equation y[n] = x[n]-0.3x[n-1]+0.3y[n-1]-0.75y[n-1]
;    The output of the discrete system is then sent to a  DAC (MCP4921) via the SPI protocol.
;
; Test cicruit used is same as at http://eleceng.dit.ie/daq_lite/build.html
;
; This code is just an educational example and no attempt has been made to optimise it in any way. Use it whatever way you want but I don't accept any responsibility for any problems this code might cause you.
;
; NOTE 1: Only the most significant 8 bits of the 10-bit ADC are used. Therefore the
;    the ADC values used are in the range of 0-255.
; NOTE 2: When implementing the discrete system the ADC values are interpreted as a signed signal which varies between 0.9922 (=127/128) and -1.
;    An ADC value of 255 is interpreted as a signal value of 0.9922; an ADC value of 0 is interpreted as a signal value of -1 ;
;    an ADC value of 128 is interpreted as a signal value of 0; An ADC value of 127 is interpreted as a signal value of -0.0078 (1/128)
; NOTE 3: The pic18f does not have a floating point unit and signed decimal values are represented in and 8-bit, fixed point, 2's complement format.
;    A signal value of 0.9922 is stored as a binary value of '01111111' in memory 
;    A signal value of -1 is stored as a binary value of '10000000'  in memory
;    A signal value of 0.5 is stored as binary value of '01000000' in memory 
;    A signal value of -0.5 is stored as binary value of '11000000' in memory 
;    A signal value of 0.75 is stored as binary value of '01100000' in memory 
;    A signal value of -0.75 is stored as binary value of '10100000' in memory 
;    A signal value of 0.0078 is stored as binary value of '00000001' in memory
;    A signal value of -0.0078 is stored as binary value of '11111111' in memory

pic18f assembly example 4 – sample Analog Channel on timer interrupt

May 20, 2014 Leave a comment
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------; This assembly code sets up a timer interrupt to be triggered every millisecond on the pic18f4620.
; This assembly code uses a timer interrupt to read an analog channel every 1ms.
; When the interrupt service routine is called an ADC on channel 0 is performed.
; In the main part of the code the value associated with analog channel 0 is monitored in a continuous loop. If the value
;   is high then LATD2 is set high otherwise LATD2 is set low
