74hc595 16f877a interfacing problems

My previous post is updated. What does the solenoids do ?
 

solenoids just raise to from the albhabets
 

Why 24 solenoids ? How many alphabets at once ? big brailly for visually impaired ?

If 24 ascii characters are sent ('1' and '0' s) then you have to do like this

unsigned long value2hc595 = 0;
char counter = 0, i = 0;
char buffer[24];
 
//MSB sent first
 
void interrupt() {
 
    if(RCIF_bit) {
        if(counter < 24) {
            buffer[counter++] = UART1_Read();
            ++counter;
        }
 
        RCIF_bit = 0;
    }
}
 
 
while(1) {
 
    if(counter == 23) {
 
        for(i = 0; i < 24; i++) {
 
            value2hc595 <<= 1;
 
            if(vuffer[i] == '1') {
                value2hc595 |= 1;
            }
        }
    }
]


Then send 3 bytes to HC595

My current application need only to send letters. not the words.
the words are stored in push button switches in the pic, for demo purpose, I want to do this only

24 solenoids, for showing the words stored in the pushbutton switches, which are not sent by uart.

yes braily type
 

Draw the exact circuit and post it as image here. Tell how the system has to work. Provide an example of what exact data you send through UART and what solenoids have to turn ON for that data. Don't make changes every now and then. Without knowing the exact functioning code cannot be written.
 

it incorporates voice also so altogather 15bits for a single alphabet, ok i will send
 

You said 24 bits and now you say 15 bits. See this ic code to send 24 bits to HC595.

void SPI_Send(unsigned long s) {
 
     unsigned long mask = 0x80000000;
     char i = 0;
     
     for(i = 0; i < 24; i++, mask >>= 1) {
           if(s & mask) 
               DS = 1;

}
 

sorry about that, that time I was about make a code to check if its working, you are so helpfull, thank you
Actually that time i was out of focus that time, now with your support things are almost clear, i will try with this code
 

Sorry the code was wrong. Here is the corrected code.

     unsigned long mask = 0x800000;
     char i = 0;

     ST_CP = 1;

so the whole code is as follows, the 595 outputs are not steady, its fluctuating


Code: 
sbit SH_CP at RD0_bit;
sbit SH_CP_Direction at TRISD0_bit;

sbit ST_CP at RD2_bit;

                     0b11010011, 0b11011011, 0b11110011};

void interrupt() {
     if(RCIF_bit) {
           if(OERR_bit) {
                CREN_bit = 0;
                CREN_bit = 1;

                OERR_bit = 0;
           }

           uart_rd = UART1_Read();

           RCIF_bit = 0;
     }
}

               uart_rd = 0;
           }

       }}
 

You have to send 24 bytes like 100100011110101000100101 (ascii characters) from UART.

Edit. Try attached file. Send 111100000101010100001111 from PC to PIC.


I think it is better to make a matrix of solenoids like 10 X 10 = 100 micro solenoids. Then based on the character the required solenoids are turned ON.

I thought it is easy to make array than matrixing, so i gone with array

- - - Updated - - -

will try to make a software for pc and will update you
 

No need for software. just send ascii characters 1's and 0's. Isn't matrix and array ? Make 8 X8 matrix = 64 tiny solenoids. 8 HC595's are needed.


Make a matrix like shown in attached image. It is 5X8 matrix. There are 8 rows and 5 columns. Each column can be driven by one 74HC595 and you need 5 HC595s. Ascii character has to be converted to matrix data and send to the 5 cascaded HC595s.

You can also make 8 X 8 matrix. It will be better. 8 HC595 will be cascaded. Each HC595 will hold the data of one column or row.

its not shifting
 

Which code you used ? Code in post #54 ? If yes, you need to send 24 x 1's or 0's and then the shifting happens.

yes #54 , ok
yes working
 

You didn't give exact circuit. Make it a 8x5 or 8x8 solenoids. I will write code for you. How do you send characters ? Through UART ? No, need for array. switch statement is enough. Create as many cases as you have characters and each case based on the received character assigns a 24 bit value to a unsigned long variable and this variable is passed to SPI_Send() function which sends data to 74HC595.

Here is another version of code which receives '0' or '1' from UART and displays it on 74HC595 after 24 characters are received. It saves a few more bytes.

mikroC code. Not tested.
