USB Serial port on PIC18F4550

USB example for PIC18F4550. Plug your PIC18F4550 into your PC using a USB cable. A virtual RS232 COM port is
created, allowing your application to print RS232 messages into HyperTerminal. Allows porting of legacy code that used
RS232 comms.

This project is a modified form of the CDC (Communications Class Driver) available from www.microchip.com. The
www.htsoft.com forum has some discussion on this code.

Note: ensure that you read "readme (including install notes).txt" after download.

Schematics: this code runs on the PICDEM‐FS board from Microchip. To make your own schematic, place a PIC18F4550 on a
breadboard, ensure that you are using a 20Mhz crystal, place a 470nF capacitor on port Vusb, and hook the USB directly to
the chip. It should start to work straight away. Download the PICDEM‐FS datasheet for the exact schematic to use with
this code.

Result: start up HyperTerminal or putty, find the new COMx port that has been enumerated. Set it to 115200,N,8,1. The
actual COM port speed doesn't matter, as its a virtual comm port. You will see "[alive]" being continuously generated
on virtual com port X over USB. You can find the exact number of the virtual COM port by going into "Control Panel",
then "System", then selecting the "Hardware" then "Device Manager", there will be a new COM port under "Ports (COM &
LPT). You can change the number of the virtual comm port by going into properties, and selecting the new COM port.

Sample Hi­Tech C projects by Mike Pearce (set B)

These sample Hi‐Tech C projects were supplied by Mike Pearce while he was working at the University of Canterbury, New
Zealand. He is an excellent programmer for PIC micros, and manages to make them do things that I barely thought were
possible. These projects partially cover the 8+ years of work he performed in the Chemistry Department and as a hobby. They
give a window into the way he does his code, and perhaps you will learn a few tricks from him :) Enjoy!

PIC16F84 based pulse monitor with date/time output to an RS232 serial port by Mike
Pearce
Here's the scenario: at University of Canterbury, New Zealand, they operate a hugely expensive X‐ray crystallography machine. It
was water cooled, and each run would take 24 hours and cost the client a lot. Unfortunately, as the story goes, there was a
problem with the water supply controller, and it would periodically drop pressure and the machine would shut down. This means

http://www.microchipc.com/sourcecode/#mmc 4/11
3/28/2015 Microchip PIC micros and C ­ source and sample code
the run would have to be started again.

So, Mike Pearce designed a water‐monitor. It would measure the flow, based on pulses from a flow meter. If the pulses dropped
below a pre‐determined threshold, it would log the date and time out to a serial port. They set up a PC with a serial program,
and came back the next day to see exactly when the flow had dropped.

Mike tracked down the problem and had the system adapted to counter for the glitches, due to this nice piece of design work.

PIC12C509 logic gate replacement for nitrogen filler by Mike Pearce

a simple program that uses nested if{}else{} statements to do a BETTER job than the original logic did, by the addition of some
error trapping and a timeout delay for safety reasons (and to save money because Liquid Nitrogen is not cheap).

Dallas DS1821 three­pin digital thermostat by Mike Pearce

From readme.txt: The DALLAS DS1821 is a 3 pin digital thermostat that can have its trigger points programmed using the Dallas
1‐wire interface. The need arose for this programmer when we had to replace the bi‐metal thermostat controls from some
fridges in the department for safety reasons. The DS1821 was the ideal replacement, the combination of small size, low
operation voltage (3‐5 volts) and operates to pre programmed settings that couldn't be changed unless you had a special
programmer. Hence the birth of the DS1821 Programmer project. This project uses the 1‐wire and I2C routines.The Turn On,
Turn Off and Polarity values can be programmed using this code. There are 3 buttons, 'Menu', '+', and '‐' to allow adjustments.

Gym Timer by Mike Pearce

From readme.txt: For PIC12C509, this was a very simple timer and buzzer that I made for a client that wanted timer for doing
gym circuits in his home gym. I made this one up on a piece of vera board, and it injects a signal into an audio line that was fed
into an amplifier from his CD Player. This cut costs dramatically due to no extra amplifier/speakers needed. The time is set by
the state of GP0,1,2,3 and is calculated by the binary value * 5 + 30 seconds. This allows the interval to be set from 30 seconds
to 105 seconds in 5 second increments. This is only approximate!!GP5 was fed through a resistor and capacitor type set up into
one channel of the audio and just does a short Buzz at the end of each interval.

High Speed Pulse Generator (HSPG) by Mike Pearce

From readme.txt: I have included this code as an Example of using a 20x2 character LCD, I2C EEPROM and basic I/O Control, it
also has a ascii to unsigned long function that I created to convert entered text into a useable number.The HSPG project is a
specialized piece of hardware for accurately generating pulses on a rather large piece of equipment (it takes up a large room).
This unit has a resolution of 20ns and a 24 bit counter (0 to approx. 0.335 sec in 20ns steps) and all the pulse outputs are fibre
optic for noise reduction, earth loop elimination and speed. This is the only piece of equipment like it in the world that we know
of, and hence it is restricted, so circuit diagrams will not be supplied. However, if you want to buy a complete unit (with
updated firmware) ... not a problem if you have a spare US$10,000 ... but you still won't get the diagrams!!!

EEPROM
Sometimes it is useful to have access to a larger amount of non‐volatile storage than is available onboard the PIC. A serial
accessed eeprom can be the best way to do this but they are usually only available in sizes up to 512Kbits. The 24LC256 is a
256Kbit eeprom avaialble from microchip and is what these functions are designed to work with although they should work with
any size and speed of eeprom with suitable modification of the loops. This is just the functions you need to get some code
working and then drop these in.

The code has been tested on both a 16F876 using software and hardware I2C interfaces. Setting the pins to the hardware I2C
port int the #use line at the top of the code enables the hardware I2C.

Basic read and write byte functions are provided as well as a set of functions for a contiguous read (by Tom Cook) that allows
faster read out of a stream of data. There is also a function to write a string of any length to the eeprom. They should all be
fairly self explanatory.

MMC card
For applications where more storage is required I would definately reccomend MultiMediaCards (some times called SanDisk (SD)
flash). The built in SPI interface only requires four data lines and they are available in sizes of up to 256MByte (at the moment).
There are a few little quirks in making the cards work with a PIC but these are hopefully all sorted out within the code. The
code is set to use the hardware SPI pins on the 16F876 and I haven't tried it any other way.

The MMC card has quite a large block size for writing, I think at the moment it is at least 512Bytes although I think I saw
something about a new version of the specifcation that is more flexible. But at the moment this means that you need to buffer
512Bytes and write them all in one go, the eeprom code (above) is ideal for this. The write_block function just writes the lowest
512Bytes from the eeprom to the MMC. The same is true when reading the card and in my current application I only need to read
the data to a PC so the read_block function just outputs every byte to RS232 although it wouldn't be hard to insert some
processing or pass each byte to whatever function you wanted. This is just the functions you need to get some code working and
then drop these in.

MiniBasic Source Code in C (set F)

MiniBasic example peripheral source code in C
MniBasic is a full basic interpreteter for the PIC18, PIC24, and PIC32. It is written in C. By examining the source code, you can
work out how to use almost any peripheral on the PIC18, PIC24 or PIC32. Example peripheral source code includes, but is not
limited to, RS232, PWM, timers, LCD, port control, SPI, I2C, ethernet (under development), etc.

Interrupt Driven Serial Routines with Circular FIFO for PIC16x Micro
This is another routine that I want to share. This is the interrupt driven serial routine with circular FIFO for any PIC16x micro
with a hardware UART. Compiled with Hi‐Tech C. Since this is unbuffered, so I added a software FIFO. The FIFO management is
quite lean and fast but required the size of the buffer to be power of 2 (2^x). This is because FIFO roll‐over uses bit‐wise AND of
(buffer_size ‐ 1). This reduces code size due to that no more conditionals to test pointers overflowing the buffer.

Tiny Threads ­ Tiny Multitasking Threads for Microcontrollers

For the efficiency and performance conscious C programmers, here is my tiny cooperative multitasking engine.

by Regulus Berdin

Idea based on http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/coroutines.html.

Only 1 byte RAM needed per thread.
Very small overhead context switching.

Limitations:

Maximum 254 lines per thread.

Thread context switching will not work within a switch block.

tthread.h. Header file for Tiny Threads. This is the only file needed to use Tiny Threads.
tt_sample.zip. Sample application using tthread. Compiles with PICC compiler from www.htsoft.com.

The Dot Factory: An LCD Font and Image Generator

From www.pavius.net: The Dot Factory is a small, GPL, open source tool intended to generate the required C language
information to store many fonts and images, as efficiently as possible, on a microcontroller. These fonts are then uploaded via
the LCD driver (see the Drivers and Modules page for a few) to the actual dot matrix LCD. Compatible with numerous PIC micros,
more micros can easily be added by writing a simple driver.

Embedded PIC Programmer

From www.pavius.net: Hi Shane, I'm the author of The Dot Factory, the free LCD font generator you so gracefully link to on
microchipc. I was recently contracted to implement lpicp, a PIC programmer that works on embedded Linux platforms. It allows
any embedded platform running Linux to effectively become a PIC programmer. I haven't seen such an implementation before so
I released it as GPL, for anyone to use or reference.

If you feel it is relevant for microchipc, please feel free to link to the project page:

SimpleRTOS
Published in response to an email sent the admin at MicrochipC. This website also has a good range of other sample code, its
worth checking out.

Dear All,

I just published a new version of my "toy" RTOS in my personal pages at PICList. Just it is not a "toy" anymore, it is really useful
and I'm using it already in new projects.

For now the ports for dsPIC/PIC24 and PIC32MX are already working, but I published only the PIC32MX port because it is already
tested.

The link is
<http://www.piclist.com/Techref/member/IMB‐yahoo‐J86/SimpleRTOS2.htm>

My main page is
<http://www.piclist.com/Techref/member/IMB‐yahoo‐J86/index.htm>

I plan to port it also to ARM Cortex‐M3 and M4 because I use Atmel's SAM3 and SAM4 devices, but those ports may take some time
to be finished.

My original RTOS was just a proof‐of‐concept cooperative RTOS for

PIC16F, but could be used in some simple applications.

My main motivation to rewrite it for bigger MCUs was that FreeRTOS uses too much memory and it doesn't fit even in some
PIC32MX devices's (PIC32MX210F016B) RAM or FLASH. My RTOS uses just a fraction of the memory needed by FreeRTOS and I
expect it to be somewhat faster.

The sample application which has six tasks, each one with a 256‐bytes stack, when compiled with optimization level ‐O3 uses
just 3685 instruction words and 2956 bytes of RAM. It fits easily in a PIC32MX210F016B.

I know that it cannot compete with FreeRTOS in general, but for some simple applications or very constrained devices it may fit
while FreeRTOS won't.

Comments are welcome.

Best regards,

Isaac
