Help me fix problem in I2C-RTC code

[Emtronics_sys]

Hi ,I face a Problem in inter facing RTC, I wrote the code in C using the Hitech C compiler,I found that the My code works properly in simulation and doesnt work when freely run continously or programming mode,I use MPLAB IDE and ICD2 Debugger

The code I wrote is posted below, I wanted an Immediate help, So please find me some solution where the problem could be.. or check where i have made the mistake..

I simply displayed the data i get initially but the seconds is not updating.. and getting struck up... if that does then i can manage displaying the formated RTC data.. check my code and tell me a solution..

Re: I2C-RTC code problem

Which RCT chip you are using and what micro controller you are using?

 

[Emtronics_sys]

Re: I2C-RTC code problem

DS1307 and PIC16F877A
Its working in when emulated using ICD 2 debugger but doesnt work on free running mode.. have you ever faced this problem...

Re: I2C-RTC code problem

Do you have pull-up resistors on the interface lines?

Re: I2C-RTC code problem

Yes I have 10K pull ups as specified in data sheet .. i have used the circuit diagram recommended in Dallas semiconductor DS1307 datasheet

I am not able to under stand why my code doesn't work on free running mode and why it works only in debuggng mode.... since it works on hardware debugging and doesnt work on real time i am not able solve by debugging...
so help me... if you have faced such problems...

thank you,

Re: I2C-RTC code problem

Does the debugging mode runs in the same speed as free running mode?

If the debugging mode is running slower than free running, then it is timing problem, then you should insert delays.

Yes I have 10K pull ups as specified in data sheet

Where in the datasheet it is mentioned?

I normally use 4,7k resistors as pullup.
