Add TMR4 driver to the Project Resources

Select the MPLAB Code Configurator Resources tab.
In the Device Resources - PIC16F1619 area scroll-down to the Timer entry and expand the
list. (Hint: You may need to click-on the + symbol.)
Now double click-on the TMR4::Timer entry to add it to the Project Resources list.
Configure TMR4 for 9.088ms period

Ensure that TMR4::Timer is highlighted in the Project Resources window.

Timer period value is 0x8D for 9.088ms with the current settings.
Control mode setting is Roll over pulse, for continuous timer operation. Make sure
Start/Reset Option is Software Control This will inhibit hardware reset of timer.
Enable TMR4 software interrupt processing

If timer period needs to be extended then software overflows should be used. The overflow
of timer will trigger an interrupt and the ISR will count <Callback Function Rate> events,
before calling a predefined Callback function. This callback should contain the user code.
To configure this feature we will tick the Enable Timer Interrupt checkbox. We would like
to achieve 100ms rate on a fast clock. The closest setting is 119.088ms=99.968ms. We will
enter 11 in Callback Function Rate field

This will include a call to the predefined macros and enable interrupts.
Select the Poti ADC channel and start a conversion

The default conversion channel is set to CH0 on reset. This is not the channel we want read.
Therefore we have to select the channel where the poti is connected. In MCC we were
naming the AN4 channel to channel_Poti and we will use this symbolic notation to select
our ADC channel. Add the
ADC1_StartConversion(channel_Poti);

TMR2::Timer
v1.07 Page 30
TMR0::Timer
CLC1:CLC
The role of CLC1 is to latch the pulse coming from TMR2 rollover and based on this pulse create a
toggling signal on the output. When mode is non-blinking (CLC4 output high) then output should
always be low.
CLC2::CLC
The role of CLC2 is to
invert output of CLC1,
and ensure the output
is low in non-blinking
mode. (CLC4 output
high)
v1.07 Page 31
CLC3:CLC
CLC3 is de-bouncing the switch SW1 by sampling and latching the CLCIN0 (SW1 connected here) by
T0 overflow rate. As SW is active low, we invert the signal on the input mux.
CLC4::CLC
CLC4 functions as mode selector. It uses the debounced and latched SW1 state to toggle the output
of the module. If Q is high, that means non-blinking mode. The toggle principle is the same we
learned in Lab 2.

Configure IO functions according to the Pin Manager Assignments chapter below.
Generate the configuration code for the design by clicking-on the Generate Code button in the
MPLAB Code Configurator tab.
Checking the CMP2::CMP settings we can spot a missing In- FVR setting. After generating the code
we will edit this setting manually, based on the datasheet. The
CMP2::CMP is initialized in the cmp2.c by function void
CMP2_Initialize(void); We can edit any source generated by the
MPLAB Code Configurator. When the Generate Code button is
pressed again a Diff Window is displayed, where we can
carefully apply or reject settings. More on the Diff Window can
be found in MPLABX help. Lets customize the CMP2_Initialize.
Checking the datasheet we reveal that CM2CON1 sets the In-
for CMP2::CMP
Final code:
Make/build the design and program the target device by clicking the Make and Program Device
button , or select Run Run Main Project from the main menu.
Results
Is D7 off approximately at Poti 75%? Is D4 blinking faster if D7 is on?
