8-BIT UP or DOWN COUNTER USING PIC16F877A

This is an example which shows how to connect a push button to a microcontroller and control some operations. The main pitfall for a beginner in this case is, he/she may not be bothered about the switch bounce effect.

When a mechanical switch is closed/opened, for a short interval , it will continue ON-OFF cycle. This means, the switch will be perfectly ON/OFF only after this interval. So we should check the state of switch only after this interval. In programming part, we should also consider this to avoid errors. The below program is for a  two switch controlled 8-bit UP/DOWN  counter using PIC16F877A.

PROGRAM (for HI-TECH C compiler)

#include <pic.h>
#define _XTAL_FREQ 20e6
__CONFIG(0x3F3A);
unsigned char count=0;
main()
{
ADCON1=0b00001111;    //to make PORTE as digital I/O pins.
TRISD=0;
TRISE0=1;
TRISE1=1;
while(1)
    {
    if(RE0==1)
        {
        if(count<255){count++;}
        __delay_ms(50);
        while(RE0==1);
        __delay_ms(50);
        }
   
    if(RE1==1)
        {
        if(count>0){count--;}
        __delay_ms(50);
        while(RE1==1);
        __delay_ms(50);
        }
    PORTD=count;
    }
}

    #include
    delay ()
    {
    for (int i=0; i<20000; i++);
    }
    #define _XTAL_FREQ 20e6
    __CONFIG(0x3F3A);
    unsigned char count=0;
    main()
    {
    ADCON1=0b00001111; //to make PORTE as digital I/O pins.
    TRISD=0;
    TRISE0=1;
    TRISE1=1;
    while(1)
    {
    if(RE0==1)
    {
    int k=0x80;
    while(1){
    PORTD=k;
    k=(k>>1);
    delay();
    if (k<0x01)
    {
    k=0x80;
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
    try to this one....
