Toggling pins on/off in PASM

Philldapill · 2008-06-30 22:55

How do you toggle a pin on and off in PASM? Is there an equivalent of OUTA[noparse]/noparse in PASM?

Timmoore · 2008-06-30 23:02

translate pins to pin masks then use

or outa, mask
andn outa,mask

Coley · 2008-06-30 23:03

mov     dira,#1  
mov     outa,#1

Turns on P0

Use it with a pin mask to turn on a specific pin eg outa, #1 <<16 would turn on P16

Coley

Actually, it would not. Immediate operands are limited to values between 0 and $1ff, so 1 << 16 is out of range. But you can still use indirect addressing:

        or      dira,mask16    'Set pin as an output.
        or      outa,mask16    'Turn pin on.
        andn    outa,mask16    'Turn pin off.
        xor     outa,mask16    'Toggle pin.

mask16  long    1 << 16

haha, that's funny you posted this Phil. I was just trying that and would get an error saying the source must be less than $1FF. I was just about to post an "er?" question. Thanks!

The other thing to be careful with using mov for outa, is if the cog has more than 1 output pin, the mov outa affects them all, i.e. the others are set to 0. Its great if thats what you want but often you only want to affect 1 pin.

DAT

Led        mov     _mask,#1              
           shl      _mask,#16
           mov     dira,_mask
           mov     outa,_mask

_mask      res      1

Oops, my bad!

This does work though!

Well, I'm excited. My first ever PASM program! yay!

org
entry   or dira, pinOut
        mov time, cnt
        add time, duty
        mov invduty, period
        sub invduty, duty         
        jmp #:loop

:loop   waitcnt time, invduty
        or outa, pinOut
        waitcnt time, duty
        xor outa, pinOut
        jmp #:loop                     'loop for next cycle  
 
period  long  8000
duty    long  7000
invduty res 1                     
time    res 1
value   res 1
t1      res 1
pinOut  long 1<<15
ctraval res 1

res must be the last thing. pinout needs to be moved earlier.

Philldapill · 2008-07-01 00:17

Oops! You're right. Fixed it.

Now I have a question... If I set the period to 80,000, the frequency should be 1kHz, right? No. My meter says it's ~166Hz... pretty off if you ask me...

Philldapill · 2008-07-01 01:46

Ok, so now the question is, how do you use an "if this, then do that" statement in PASM?

I need to see some incremental count has reached a threshold, then do something else.

Timmoore · 2008-07-01 03:39

Look at tjz, tjnz for 0 and non-0, djnz, test and cmp instructions
you test and cmp you need to specify to set wz or wc
then you can use
cmp t0,#4 wz
if_z jmp #equal4

it compares t0 to 4 sets the wz flag if they are the same.
if_z says execute the instruction if the wz flag is set, so you would execute the jmp otherwise its a nop

you can set the flags on most instructions and you can use if_z etc on most instructions, so for example

cmp t0,#4 wz
if_z mov t0, #0

would set t0 to 0 if it was 4
I would take a look through fullduplexserial, its a pretty good straightforward piece of pasm that is complex enough to show a lot of stuff. (I would not look at my version of fullduplexserial4fc, I was trying to push the prop and so it re-writes the code on the fly - not just source/dest addresses but the instructions, etc. Once you get used to pasm take a look at some of the stuff you can do if you really want but it does make the code a lot harder for anyone to understand)
