L 9 Timer Programming: Objectives

This document describes a lab experiment on programming an AVR timer. The objectives are to program the AVR timer and generate a square wave using the timer to play music. The lab activities include writing programs to generate square waves at 1000Hz and 500Hz using the timer, using the timer to turn on LEDs after a delay, and toggling an LED a certain number of times when a button is pressed using the timer.

LAB 9

TIMER PROGRAMMING

OBJECTIVES:
 To program the AVR timer.
 To generate a square wave using the AVR timer and play music.

REFERENCE:
 Mazidi & Naimi, “The AVR Microcontroller and Embedded Systems,” Chapter 9.

MATERIALS:
 AVR Trainer
 AVR Assembler
 Oscilloscope
 Speaker (optional)

ACTIVITY 1

a) Write a program using a Timer to generate a 1000 Hz square wave frequency on pin
PORTC.2.
b) Then examine the frequency using the oscilloscope.
c) Modify the count value to make sure that the frequency is exactly 1000 Hz.
#include <avr/io.h>

void delay ( )
{
TCNT0 = -125;
TCCR0A = 0x00;
TCCR0B = 0x03;

while ((TIFR0&(1<<TOV0)) == 0);


TIFR0 = (1<<TOV0);
}

int main ( )
{
DDRC |= (1<<2);

while(1)
{
PORTC |= (1<<2);
delay ( );
PORTC &= ~(1<<2);
delay ( );
}
return 0;
}

ACTIVITY 2

a) Modify the Activity 1 to generate a 500 Hz square wave frequency.


b) Rewrite the code, using the CTC mode.

ACTIVITY 3

Write a program that sets the PORTB.2 when the key is pressed and after 3 seconds
PORTB.3 is turned on, as well. Use Timer1.

ACTIVITY 4

Connect a key to PORTD.4. Using Timer/Counter0, write a program to toggle PORTB.2,


when the key is pressed, 10 times.
