Project Run Successfully

This is the latest video for our School bell time that was mention by my partner Arif Syazwan from the previous post. Alhamdulillah, everything was run smoothly. Last, we would like to thanks our lecturer Dr Zulkhairi for giving us so much knowledge and giving us the opportunity to try using new hardware replacing the PIC8051 that is the Silicon Lab Toolstick850. It was hard at the beginning because it was new to all the students but with Dr Zulkhairi guidance, we manage to make this project successfully.  

In the end, we would like to apologize to Dr Zulkhairi if we ever did anything wrong and thank you so much Dr Zulkhairi. May Allah bless all of us.

SUCCCED

The last post is about the program problem but after figure the problem why the program some time have problem to operate according to the code and jump to starting again and again.

This problem happen because there a watch built-in in TOOLSTICK. This watchdog/watchdog timer is a hardware timer that automatically generates a system reset if the main program neglects to periodically service it. It is often used to automatically reset an embedded device that hangs because of a software or hardware fault.

So to remove this watchdog timer, i have to direct supply the TOOLSTICK with 5V.


and i have change the PIN for PORT 1.2 to PORT 1.4 because

"This example code takes and averages 2048 analog measurements from input
P1.2 (Potentiometer input) using ADC0. This measurement can be viewed by
halting the example, or by connecting the device's UART to a UART receiver."

the potentiometer effect the I/O P1.2

TESTING USING RTC

IN THIS PROGRAM, you can see it like there are some problem. So i trying to figure out why is this happening.

TESTING AFTER FLASH PROGRAM

AFTER DETECT THE PROBLEM 

AFTER CLICK ON THE HAMMER ICON AND FLASH THE ICON 

This testing is without using RTC

INTERFACING WITH TOOLSTICK

Today we will Program the flash to toolstick.

The code must be change at

Using keil, we using 

 #include <reg51.h> 

but in Simplicity Studio we ne to change it to

#include <SI_C8051F850_Register_Enum.h>

#include "InitDevice.h"

so that the toolstick know each port we are using.

There are also different at void main() section

We must include this code before flash the program

IF we do not add this code, the code will not sent output to I/O port.

enter_DefaultMode_from_RESET();

This code also IMPORTANCE before flash the program.

PS;/ This code have been tested with example with or without the require code.

FLASH PROGRAM TO TOOLSTICK

To program the TOOLSTICK first connect the USB adapter

and connect the kit at the back of the USB adapter

HOW I FLASH PROGRAM TO TOOLSTICK

Firstly, i open the code that i want to burn

Second, focus on the top icon

the USB must detect the KIT before we can flash the program. If the program detect on my computer,
Before i flash the program WE MUST click this icon first,

Then, click on the second icon to transfer the code to TOOLSTICK

After FINISH the flash..DISCONNECT the USB and PLUG the USB adapter back in to receive the POWER.

PS;/ IF you miss to CLICK the HAMMER ICON , the toolstick will HAVE PROBLEM to understand the program. 

EXAMPLE FOR FIRST TRY WITHOUT CLICK THE HAMMER ICON
