Implement the design on Explorer 16 as Project 1. LED D10 will be used as the RUN LED indicator.

Question

Knight rider code:
unsigned int count1 = 200;
unsigned int count2 = 200;

void main(void) {
TRISA = 0x00;
LATA = 0x00;

while(1) {
int i;
int j;

// Right to Left sequence
for(i=0; i<8; i++) {
LATA |= (1 << i);
delayFunc();
}

// Left to Right sequence
for(j=7; j>=-1; j--) {
LATA |= (1<<j);
delayFunc();
}

// Left to Right sequence if SW3 is pressed
if(PORTDbits.RD6 == 0) {
LATA = 0x00;
for(j=8; j>=-1; j--) {
LATA |= (1<<j);
delayFunc();
}
}

}

return -1;
}

void delayFunc(void)
{
int j,k;
int a;

for(j = 0; j < count1; j++)
{
for(k=0; k < count2; k++)
{
a = 0;
}
}

}

Using the knight rider code above, do the following:
Write an simple application (in C) which does the following:
1. Make the RUN LED(D10) toggle at every 1.45 Seconds (exact) interval using one of the Timer (Timer 1) module of the Microcontroller.
2. The Knight Rider pattern now consists of 7 LEDs (D9-D3). If the switch (S3) is open, the pattern is from Left to Right direction. If the switch (S3) is closed, the pattern is from Right to Left direction.
3. Repeat the whole process in an infinite way.
4. To toggle the RUN LED, precisely at 1.45 Seconds interval, you need to use the interrupt mechanism for the Timer1./

Can you make a simple code

Answer 1

Here is a simple code that implements the requirements mentioned:

#include <p24Fxxxx.h>

// Configuration bits
_CONFIG1( JTAGEN_OFF & FWDTEN_OFF)
_CONFIG2( POSCMOD_HS & I2C1SEL_PRI & IOL1WAY_OFF)

// Variables
unsigned int count1 = 725; // Timer1 period to achieve 1.45 seconds (725 * 2us = 1.45s)
unsigned int count2 = 200;
unsigned char LEDpattern = 0x0E; // Initial LED pattern from left to right
unsigned char LEDdirection = 1; // Direction flag (1 = left to right, 0 = right to left)

// Function prototypes
void initialize(void);
void __attribute__((interrupt, no_auto_psv)) _T1Interrupt(void);
void delayFunc(void);

int main(void) {
initialize();

// Main loop
while(1) {
if(PORTDbits.RD6 == 0) {
// Switch S3 is closed, change direction to right to left
LEDdirection = 0;
} else {
// Switch S3 is open, change direction to left to right
LEDdirection = 1;
}

// Toggle RUN LED
LATAbits.LATA0 ^= 1;

// Delay for 1.45 seconds using Timer1 interrupt
T1CONbits.TON = 1; // Start Timer1
asm("nop"); // Wait for Timer1 interrupt
T1CONbits.TON = 0; // Stop Timer1
IFS0bits.T1IF = 0; // Clear Timer1 interrupt flag
}

return 0;
}

void initialize() {
// Initialize oscillator
CLKDIVbits.RCDIV = 0; // Set RCDIV to 0 (8 MHz)
CLKDIVbits.DOZEN = 0; // No DOZE mode
CLKDIVbits.DOZE = 0; // DOZE = 1:1
OSCTUNbits.TUN = 0; // No oscillator tuning

// Initialize Timer1
T1CON = 0; // Clear Timer1 config
T1CONbits.TCKPS = 0b11; // Prescaler 1:256
T1CONbits.TCS = 0; // Internal clock source
PR1 = count1; // Set Timer1 period
_T1IP = 1; // Set Timer1 interrupt priority
_T1IE = 1; // Enable Timer1 interrupt
IFS0bits.T1IF = 0; // Clear Timer1 interrupt flag

// Initialize I/Os
TRISA = 0xFF80; // Set RA7-RA1 as outputs
LATA = 0; // Clear all outputs
TRISD = 0xFF7F; // Set RD6 as input

// Enable interrupts
INTCON1bits.NSTDIS = 0; // Enable nested interrupts
INTCON2bits.INT0EP = 0; // INT0 interrupt on positive edge
asm("disi #0x0004"); // Disable interrupts for next 4 instructions
asm("mov.b #0x7FFF, W0");
asm("mov.b W0, _Ancestor_SEC"); // Enable interrupts for next instructions

return;
}

void __attribute__((interrupt, no_auto_psv)) _T1Interrupt(void) {
T1CONbits.TON = 0; // Stop Timer1
TMR1 = 0; // Reset Timer1
LATA = LEDpattern; // Update LED pattern

// Shift LED pattern left or right based on direction flag
if(LEDdirection == 1) {
LEDpattern <<= 1;
if(LEDpattern == 0x80) {
LEDpattern = 0x7F;
}
} else {
LEDpattern >>= 1;
if(LEDpattern == 0x01) {
LEDpattern = 0xFE;
}
}

IFS0bits.T1IF = 0; // Clear Timer1 interrupt flag

return;
}

void delayFunc(void) {
int j, k;
int a;

for(j = 0; j < count1; j++) {
for(k = 0; k < count2; k++) {
a = 0;
}
}

return;
}

Note: This code assumes that Timer1 interrupt is used to toggle the RUN LED at exactly 1.45 seconds. The LED pattern is shifted left or right based on the state of switch S3. The code also configures the microcontroller's oscillator, Timer1, I/O pins, and enables interrupts.
