hey all....
Am trying to generate PWM for a certain constant frequency and the PWM module works fine...
But when i interface it with an 16x2 LCD and also add some routines to detect the status f PORTA:sad:
The duty cycle of the PWM signal varies and it behaves erratically...!
The program is simple but i does function as desired...

This is my pic with Proteus..

Here i had attached my code...

Hi ragul07,
'flag' variable isn't initialized. Anyway, that should not affect PWM. There is no need to update 'PR2' & 'CCP1CON' registers within while(1) continuously. Try commenting those lines.

Hi raj..
I tried commenting those lines but PWM is not being generated i tried in proteus and also i tried in hardware too...
 

Hi ragul07,

Can you please provide contents of "#include"LCD_Test.h"" file?
 

Hi ragul07,

Cheer up!!

There's nothing wrong in your code. I have tried your code ("LCD_Test.txt") with header file("delay.h") on MPLAB ver2.00. (Hope you have the definition of "DelayMs()" in your "delay.h" file, as I had to edit this file to add this function).
After compiling the code on MPLAB, downloaded it on PIC16F877A in ISIS as per your design. The PWM generated was OK while button(any) was pushed.

For your reference I have attached the image of ISIS runtime image.

However, I have a doubt regarding the Power supply you are providing across both the switches. Can you try using a simple power supply there(as shown in the attached image).
Secondly can you try your code on MPLAB.
