Cant get to sleep

Post by Overclocked » Wed Jul 29, 2015 12:34 am

Im using a PIC18F13K22 for data logging purposes. I have a 32kHz crystal on timer one with 2 10pf caps. It interrupts once per second and counts how many seconds go by, until it reaches a if statement so it can do more things. I want it to sleep while its waiting for the interrupt, but cant figure out how to do it. The datasheet says to clear OSCCON bit 7 to 0 and then issue the sleep command. I do that and nothing happens. I dont have anything planned for my main loop because everything is done in the interrupt routine. . Current consumed doesn't go down. Without sleep its consuming 910uA. Everything else works, except sleep.

Here is my Code.

First off, I'd make sure any unused IO pins are set for digital mode and output low.
If you leave any of them as floating inputs that can cause current to go up.

Here's a routine with some of the pins setup to show what I mean... add any others you might need

Code: Select all

sub iopin_setup()

// set pin mode
// 0=digital, 1=analog (default)
ANSEL.0 = 0 		// RA0
ANSEL.1 = 0 		// RA1
ANSEL.2 = 1 		// RA2 (analog input ch2)
ANSEL.3 = 1 		// RA4 (analog input ch4)
ANSEL.4 = 0 		// RC0
ANSEL.5 = 0 		// RC1
ANSEL.6 = 0 		// RC2
ANSEL.7 = 0 		// RC3

ANSELH.0 = 0		// ANS8 RC6
ANSELH.1 = 0		// ANS9 RC7
ANSELH.2 = 0		// ANS10 RB4
ANSELH.3 = 0		// ANS11 RB5


// set unused pins as outputs
// RA2 input, RA4 input
TRISA = %00010100
TRISB = %00000000
TRISC = %00000000

// set unused output pins low
PORTA = 0
PORTB = 0
PORTC = 0

end sub
Also, you don't have to actually use the interrupts with sleep mode, you can just use the TMR1IF to wake you up.
That may make it easier to see if you're actually sleeping or not. It'll also save you a few instructions, so less power.

change the timer code in the existing interrupt routine to a normal sub...
from

Code: Select all

Interrupt TMR1_Interrupt()
 Save(0) // Back up system variables
 
 // ********** keep all the existing code 
 If TMR1IF = 1 Then
   <snip>
 EndIf
 // ********** keep all the existing code 

 Restore // Restore system variables

End Interrupt
to

Code: Select all

Sub TMR1_Seconds()
 
 // <<paste existing code here>>
 If TMR1IF = 1 Then
   <snip>
 Else  // could add a message here to make sure it was TMR1IF
   UART.Write("**unknown wakeup event**")
 EndIf

End Sub
Get rid of the interrupt enable in the TMR1_Initialize() routine...

Code: Select all

 'Enable(TMR1_Interrupt) // Enable TMR1 Interrupt Handle
and change the main loop to call the new sub when you wake up. I added toggling an IO pin so you can monitor it
with a scope. Remove them if you like.

Code: Select all

OSCCON.7 = 0	// set IDLEN bit to SLEEP mode
INTCON = 0		// make sure all intrs are disabled
While True
    PORTB.0 = 1		// set IO bit to show we're going to sleep...
    Asm
       SLEEP
       NOP
       NOP
    End Asm
    PORTB.0 = 0		// awake now...

    TMR1_Seconds()
Wend
Try that and see if the output is what you expect.
PORTB.0 should be high for 1 second and go low for a short time while it does the TMR1_Seconds() routine. If it constantly just toggles high/low you know you're not sleeping.

Hmm. Pin Sits high. Ive kept most of the code the same, but I plan on using the sub for the pins at some point. Just wanted to get the sleep working before moving on to other power saving techniques.

I had a chance to try it out, and if the pin just goes high and stays there it's not coming out of sleep, probably because the 32kHz xtal for TMR1 OSC isn't running.

I made some modifications and cleaned up things a bit. I don't have an 18F13K22 around, so I had to run a slightly modified version on a different K22 chip and it worked, but I had to setup TMR1 differently. See if this works for you...

Hmm. Gave it a shot tonight. Not much time in the coming week (vacation next week). I want to get a laptop up and working so I can atleast give it a shot during my downtime. Anyway. I looked on my scope and OSC1 and OSC2 are oscillating at 32kHz. RB6 just sits low.

Try commenting out the asm block with the sleep instruction for the time being.

You should get a serial message every second as it counts, and a set of ADC readings every 10 seconds.

As I said, that code worked for me on an 87K22 (with a slightly different TMR1 setup)

Hmm. Works if I comment out the sleep command. What did you have to do to get it to work on your PIC?

Oops! Looks like when I changed the timer init code for the 13K22 I set the SYNC bit the wrong way around.

In the TMR1_Initialize() routine change:

Code: Select all

    T1CON.2 = 0     // T1SYNCn = 0 - do not sync external clock (OSCEN overrides this anyway)
to:

Code: Select all

    T1CON.2 = 1     // T1SYNCn = 1 - do not sync external clock
On the 87K22 this is a don't care when enabling the ext osc, but I bet it needs to be set correctly for the 13K22.

Sorry about that. I'll edit the post above to reflect the change.

Woops! I overlooked it myself. We must have assumed that 0 = no sync. From my scope it looks like it works, PortB.6 stays on for about 10 seconds, and goes off very shortly. Power usage is a whopping 26uA. I was measuring 2mA But I realized a stupid mistake-I left the UART to USB chip connected I was using for debug. UART is sending the correct code (no sensors hooked up yet though)! OK Sweet. Now the real program actually wont take measurements every 10 seconds, it will probably be once every 5 minutes or so. 10 second intervals is easy enough that I know its sleeping and my code works. Its also worth noting that my memory use has decreased quite a bit without the use of a ISR. I really appreciate your help, I wouldnt have thought of using no ISR and just looking at the bit itself.

Jerry, could you explain this line of Code?

Code: Select all

If ((Seconds Mod 10) = 0) Then
Why do it that way? Wouldnt:

Code: Select all

If Seconds = 10 then
do the same thing? Unless its the same way of writing it, just personal preference.

The MOD operator gives you the remainder after a division, so 'x MOD 10' is 0 when x is evenly divisible by 10... 10, 20, 30, 40, etc.
That way you get a measurement every 10 seconds.

'If (seconds = 10)' would only give you a measurement once a minute at the 10 seconds mark.

If you want to sample at different intervals then you'll have to move the measurement block into the timekeeping tests that change the interval you're interested in, something like

Code: Select all

    If Seconds = 60 Then
        Seconds = 0
        Minutes = Minutes + 1
        // take an ADC reading every 5 minutes
        If ((Minutes mod 5) = 0) Then
          <SNIP>
        End If
    End If
   
    If Minutes = 60 Then
        Minutes = 0
        Hours = Hours + 1
        // take an ADC reading every 2 hours
        If ((Hours mod 2) = 0) Then
          <SNIP>
        End If
      <SNIP>
    End If   
   
    If Hours = 24 Then
      <SNIP>
    End If
   
    If Days = 365 Then
      <SNIP>
    End If
