DS1302 3 pushbuttons 2x16 LCD BS2P40

LuXo12

Hi guys, I have a small problem with displaying time on my backlit 2x16 lcd (#27977), what happens is after I write time to DS1302 chip and try to display it on LCD I am getting value above 59 when I am in dec mode and values above 9 in hex


I suspect that my problem is within writing time to ds1302 chip but im not exactly where as the minutes on the lcd do change every 60 seconds but they go over their legal limits

Thanks

·If do not read or write to·the DS1302 in the Burst mode then you have use the one below [noparse][[/noparse] RdSecs, RdMins] and so on
In this mode you can read and write which ever Register you want

Set_Time:                                      ' DS1302  Write  to Seconds
  HIGH CS1302                                  ' Select DS1302
  SHIFTOUT DataIO, Clock, LSBFIRST, [noparse][[/noparse]WrSecs]
  SHIFTOUT DataIO, Clock, LSBFIRST, [noparse][[/noparse]secs]
  LOW CS1302                                   ' Deselect DS1302
  RETURN

Get_Time:                                     ' DS1302   Read Seconds
  HIGH CS1302                                 ' Select DS1302

   LOW CS1302                                 ' Deselect DS1302
  RETURN

You· must read and write in this way when in the burst mode

Get_Time:                                                                       ' DS1302 Burst Read

  RETURN

·Here is one way if you want·to save something in RAM and read from RAM

reg = $FE
  HIGH Timer
  SHIFTOUT DataIO, Clock,LSBFIRST, [noparse][[/noparse]reg]
  SHIFTOUT DataIO, Clock, LSBFIRST, [noparse][[/noparse]A.HIGHBYTE,A.LOWBYTE,B.HIGHBYTE, B.LOWBYTE,C.HIGHBYTE,C.LOWBYTE ,D,E,F]
  LOW Timer
  RETURN
 
 
  ReadRam :                           'Routine to Read Data from DS1302 Time Chip
  reg = $FF
  HIGH Timer
  SHIFTOUT DataIO, Clock, LSBFIRST, [noparse][[/noparse]reg]
  SHIFTIN DataIO, Clock, LSBPRE, [noparse][[/noparse]A.HIGHBYTE,A.LOWBYTE,B.HIGHBYTE, B.LOWBYTE,C.HIGHBYTE,C.LOWBYTE ,D,E,F ]
  LOW Timer
  DEBUG HOME, "Product = ",DEC5  A," DEC5 B  ", DEC5 C, CR, CR,
                           DEC5   D, DEC5  E,CR
  RETURN

This· [noparse][[/noparse]A.HIGHBYTE,A.LOWBYTE]· = a WORD
This· [noparse][[/noparse]D] = BYTE or less

·I hope this help

Thanks Sam but I am still having problems with that chip, based on what I understand from reading the data sheet, you need to send the data it in BCD format (I am guessing HEX) but I don't know how to do it any guide lines would be appreciated

Problem solved as I suspected it was with the variables that bs2p was sending to ds1302 i was sending them in hex dec format and not BCD

this command solved the issue


bcdNum = (decNum / 10 << 4) + (decNum // 10) ' Decimal To BCD
decNum = (bcdNum.NIB1 * 10) + bcdNum.NIB0 ' BCD To Decimal

Many thanks to Chris Savage (Parallax) who posted that command

I solved one problem and another one pops up!

Here is what happened I was testing my clock and had it running for few hours (I guess around 12) when I noticed that the LCD display froze and the time was stuck, as I unplug the debug serial cable it was working again.

My question is do I need to pull-down the serial cable interface pins of BS2P or is my problem related to something else? I would like to mention that the clock was working for several hours before i notice this happened
