HOW TO CREATE 40 KHZ OSCILLATOR USING SOFATWARE (C) IN PIC16F877A ?
ASKER
I am triggering a Ultrasonic Transmitter with this 40 KHz wave. The input of the driver circuit of Transmitter is attached to PIC pin SCL , What I exactly trying to achieve is It should trigger TX then wait for a while then again Trigger.....Thus creating......Beep !! .......Beep !! ....Beep !!!

Thanks for reply.....Seteveiam....Che ers
If you want to turn the output on or off, you can just enable/disable the timer interrupt, or have a routine that enables/disables the PWM output.
If you can't move the transmitter to one of the CCP pins (or connect it there as well), you'll have to use the interrupt approach.
Be aware that at an interrupt rate of 80kHz, that's one interrupt every 12.5 microseconds, or 62 processor instructions (at 200nS per instruction). This means that between each interrupt, you only have enough time to do 62 processor opcodes! Depending on how much else your processor has to do as well, it may not have a lot of spare time. This is why I prefer to use the PWM.

Please Advise me On such Gated Transmitter In PIC16f877a
Example code for turning it on and off is below. Is that what you mean? If not, can you please be more specific as to what you're having trouble with.
-------
// If you're using the bit-banged timer interrupt approach
// (once you've set it up as per the code I posted earlier):
enable_interrupts(INT_TIME R1); // turns it on
disable_interrupts(INT_TIM ER1); // turns it off
-------
// For PWM:
// (once you've set it up as per the code I posted earlier):
setup_ccp2(CCP_PWM); // turns it on
setup_ccp2(CCP_OFF); // turns it off
-------
If you want to transmit a specific number of pulses, you can have the timer1 interrupt counting them as it sends them. For PWM, you can set an interrupt on the PWM generation, so you can turn it off after the required number of pulses.

I wanted 5 pulses@ 40 khz then a delay doing nothing for a while...And then again five pulses..........
ASKER
Please tell me how to send 5 to 10 pulses using PWM code that you have given.........

Alternatively, set up a timer interrupt at 80kHz (note: twice the frequency), and manually toggle the output pin high/low.
For using either the timer, or PWM, the timer load/reload/preload value for a given frequency is:
Timer_Reload = (( <clockspeed> / 4 ) / <prescaler>) / <frequency>
So, in your case: <clockspeed> = 20MHz, <frequency> = 40000, and <prescaler> is 'x' the DIV_BY_x used for setting up timer1. If you use, say, DIV_BY_1, then Timer_Reload = 125
Using CCS's PIC-C compiler, my code is:
--------------------------
// Generating a square wave, using the PWM output
void main()
{
setup_ccp2(CCP_PWM); // set ccp2 pin as pwm output
setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_x,
set_pwm2_duty(Timer_Reload
for (;;)
{
// loop, doing nothing
}
}
--------------------------
// Generating a square wave, by manually toggling the output pin
#int_timer1
void timer1_isr()
{
// Clock interrupt service routine. Invoked on Timer1 interrupt.
set_timer1(-Timer_Reload);
currentOut = currentOut ^ 0xff;
output_bit(PIN_xx, currentOut); // set the output pin here
}
void main()
{
setup_timer_1(T1_INTERNAL|
enable_interrupts(INT_TIME
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
for (;;)
{
// loop, doing nothing
}
}
