Hi all

I am including my code for you all to have a look ! I am trying to capture input frequency of 122 Khz, my PIC internal clock is 8MHZ. I get nothing with this code as of now. What am I doing wrong? :roll:

Thanks

You need to enable the interrupt of the CCP module with PIE1bits.CCP1IE = 1; in your PICInit();
 

Well I want to capture the first edge and then enable the interrupt for continuous frequency reading !

But I will give what you said a go and see what I get !
 

Still not working ! I dont even go into the interrupt ! Or sometimes I get 2 interrupts but the frequency values are way off !

I just realised while debugging that my CCPR1 data register increments with Timer 1- what is that happening?

CCPR1 should capture the value of Timer1 ONLY during the interrupt !

Oh gosh! PIC programming is such a TORTURE ! :|
 

CCP1CON = 0x05; <- This is to set your timer to output compare.
Change the value of 5 to 4 to be in input capture.
 

bit 3-0 CCPxM3:CCPxM0: CCP Module x Mode Select bits

0100 = Capture mode, every falling edge
0101 = Capture mode, every rising edge
0110 = Capture mode, every 4th rising edge
0111 = Capture mode, every 16th rising edge



Well I had it to capture at every rising edge(0x05) and CCPR1 data reg was incrementing with Timer1. Having it set to 4 , gives me nothing as well but CCPR1 data reg does not increment with Timer 1. It stays at 0.
 

here is Code I found which is said by the author to be working:

Whats uSxTick here? Could it be the time period of Timer 3?

Makes sense now ! Thanks !

Is 'float' essential in the equation you presented? The variable 'time' is an int and can be used directly to get frequency.
 

You're right, it could be done this way, however it is compiler dependent(some will allow you to do it others don't). If you don't specify you want the calculation made using float you will end up with let's say 430 / 1000000 = 0 in integer math. Don't forget that float arithmetic in MCU is code space expensive.
