AVR 324p programming make me crazy
« on: February 21, 2011, 01:07:41 PM »
As I said AVR 324p programming make me crazy. I am new for the microcontroller programming thing but I am trying my best. All what I am trying to do is using ultrasonic senosrs (SRF05) to detect any object. I donnot need to use PWM, but instead of that I used a delay. Trigger and echo signal result where satisfying (were checked using Oscilloscope) the problem was how I am ganna know the width of the echo signal. I am how the microcontroller will know ?? Some one gave me a suggestion to use a counter and delay but it didnot work. My code is below any one can help me ?

Code: [Select]
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>

int main()
{
char time, count = 0;
DDRD = 0b00100001;
PORTD = 0x00;

while(1)
{
count = 0;

PORTD &= (1 << PD0); //  put 1 at PD0
_delay_ms(50);

PORTD &= (~(1 << PD0)); // put 0 at PD0
_delay_ms(50);

while ((PIND & (1 << PD2)) == 0)
;

while ((PIND & (1 << PD2)) != (1 << PD2))
{
_delay_us(10);
count++;
}
}
  return 0;
}


The second problem was with the servo motor (Futaba s3003). I need to deflect it to spesific angle but each time I am changing the duty cycle (1,1.5,2 ms) it goes to the same angle where the peroid is 20 ms ?? why

It looks like you are trying to do the correct steps but there are a few issues with your code:
Code: [Select]
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>

int main()
{
char time, count = 0;  //Echo pulse duration can be up to 30ms... - a count >255 (25.5ms) will overflow a char and wrap giving a false close reading
        // using a 16 bit int for count will ensure this never happens and you could also get more precise timing by using smaller 'ticks'
DDRD = 0b00100001;
PORTD = 0x00;

while(1)
{
count = 0;
               
                // output trigger pulse on PORTD,0
PORTD &= (1 << PD0); //  put 1 at PD0 - No it doesn't...  0 AND 1 = 0  ... use logic OR to set a bit X OR 1 = 1
_delay_ms(50);                           // Why so long? datasheet says minimum 10us so 20us should be plenty

PORTD &= (~(1 << PD0)); // put 0 at PD0 - Yes use AND to mask bits like this X AND 0 = 0
_delay_ms(50);                           // No delay here! - after 50ms you will have missed the Echo pulse... see the datasheet
               
                // wait for start of Echo pulse on PORTD,2
while ((PIND & (1 << PD2)) == 0)
                ;           // wait until PD2 == 1 - this is fine

                // measure the length of Echo pulse
while ((PIND & (1 << PD2)) != (1 << PD2))  // (while(PD2 != 1))... PD2 is ALWAYS 1 here - so this loop will NEVER iterate  use != 0
{
_delay_us(10);
count++;          // time the Echo pulse by counting 10us 'ticks'
}
               
                 // Add a delay to ensure a minimum of 50ms between pulses - see datasheet
                 // just delay 50ms for simplicity
                 // or calculate the minimum delay using your count value for faster readings
}
  return 0;
}

Thanks a lot hopslink U highlight alot of thing I was missing. I will try it today

One more thing any suggestion for the servo ??
