Pulse counter

[maheshkumar0487]

My external pulse is input to Psoc 1. How can i set 15 sec such that the counter counts upto 15 sec only?? DO i need to use both timer and counter or any one of them enough. My external pulse frequency vary from 1 Hz to 3 Hz.

Looks like your design is not very time-critical. I would suggest to poll for your input-signal and start an 8-bit timer, period 240, input frequency 16Hz. To get the 16 Hz you probably need a pre-devider.

If you want to count the number of 1 - 3 Hz pulses in a 15 sec period, you need a gate that
is 15 sec wide. The sleep timer can generate 1 Hz, comes for "free", part of the HW resources,
can generate an interrupt. So count that out in ISR and when it reaches 15 stop the ISR and 8 bit
pulse counter, read and reset pulse counter, then reset ISR gate count value, and restart the
ISR.

Or run the sleep counter at Nyquist for the input pulses, 1/6 Hz or faster, use that to do the
pulse counting by pin polling, and for gate period generation (ISR counts to 90), and save a counter.
Only HW needed is sleep timer.

Thank you sir,, I got it by using PWM and Timer.. Now i got the count value on LCD. I have to send it as sms using GSM modem. I have gone through whole GSM in the datasheet. I can send some defined data through GSM but how can i send the data which is been counted. Is there any command strcpy(value,value1) which used in 8051??

Thanks for replying to me sir!!!!

You may use any C-function in the #included libraries
math, stdlib, strings and so on. Have a look into the C-manuals accessable from Help->Documentation->Compiler and Programming Documents

Most common is to convert numeric to character string and send serially,
UART, I2C, USB, SPI, whatever as a character string.

f()'s such as itoa(), ltoa(), sprintf()....

[maheshkumar0487]

Sir i want to send variable value which will vary for every 30 seconds.. I can send some massages which are fixed..

[danadak]

So you first convert to string using f()'s such as itoa(), ltoa(), sprintf()....

Then transmit over UART.

Then on receive side write a simple routine to convert string back to numeric. You cant use the library
functions like atoi(), atol(), because they are defined for converting strings in program memory, not RAM.

This is my code which counts and display the count value on LCD. The count value to be sent as message using GSM modem. Getting 2 errors and many warnings, I am hoping that all i have given correct statements..

check my code and help me out to get proper output...

Post your project -

Use Firefox or IE, not chrome to post.

[bobmarlowe]

You did not enable interrupts which may be needed for PutString()

@Dana
The software here is up-to-date and can afaik work with chrome, vanadium and Molybdenum

Yup got it sir,

How to set UART baudrate 9600b/s. clock=(8*9600)=76.8KHz to get this clock sysclk(24MHz)/312.5. How can i set baudrate in chip diagram?? Can i do it in software??

[danadak]

Take a look at this -

http://www.cypress.com/?rID=39848 PSOC 1 Baudrate

Regards, Dana.

[maheshkumar0487]

Attached file contains my gsm checking project.. Just i want to transmit data "lab is opened" using uart after pressing switch. Initially switch off.. baudrate arranged correctly...
check my project and if any errors pls tell me..

[danadak]

In chip view, upper left hand corner, Global Resources, you have CPU_clock set
to SysClk/8, should be SysClk/1

Regards, Dana.

[maheshkumar0487]

Thank you sir, Finally got the GSM_CHECK output..

Now i have to send message which contains variable value....
How can i chage variable value to ascii and send as message....

[danadak]

Via use of extended library of Compiler, itoa(0, ltoa(), ftoa(), sprintf(),
all convert numerics into a string. You declare a string buffer, pass
it as a pointer to these functions, and they will do conversion and
fill the buffer with a NULL terminated string. Then you use UART
APIs to send. Remember to use following in file where f()'s are used

Code: Select all

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

When you declare the char array make it 1 bigger than longest string you
will handle, to make room for NULL character, which terminates string.
