How to read switches.

Tutorial 2.1 - requires Main Board and Switch Board.

This simple program turns the corresponding LED on, when the button opposite it is pressed, extinguishing all other LED's.

end 

As with the previous tutorials we first set things up, then the main program runs in a loop, the first thing the loop does is check switch SW1 with the 'btfss SWPORT, SW1' line, if the switch isn't pressed the input line is held high by the 10K pull-up resistor and it skips the next line. This takes it to the 'btfss SWPORT, SW2' line, where SW2 is similarly checked - this continues down checking all the switches and then loops back and checks them again. If a key is pressed, the relevant 'btfss' doesn't skip the next line, but instead calls a sub-routine to process the key press, each switch has it's own sub-routine. These sub-routines are very simple, they first 'clrf' the output port, turning all LED's off, and then use 'bsf' to turn on the corresponding LED, next the sub-routine exits via the 'retlw' instruction. As the switch is likely to be still held down, the same routine will be run again (and again, and again!) until you release the key, however for this simple application that isn't a problem and you can't even tell it's happening.

Tutorial 2.2 - requires Main Board and Switch Board.

This program toggles the corresponding LED on and off, when the button opposite it is pressed. It introduces the concept of 'de-bouncing' - a switch doesn't close immediately, it 'bounces' a little before it settles, this causes a series of fast keypresses which can cause chaos in operating a device.

In order to de-bounce the keypresses we delay for a short time, then check that the button is still pressed, the time delay is set by the variable SWDel, which is defined as Del50 in the defines section at the start of the program. I've extended the Delay routine to provide a selection of different delays (from 0mS to 250mS), called by simple 'call' instructions, the Delay routine itself can also be called directly - simply load the required delay into the W register and 'call Delay'. We then check to see if the corresponding LED is lit, with 'btfss SWPORT, LEDx', and jump to either 'LEDxON' or 'LEDxOFF', these routines are almost identical, the only difference being that the first turns the LED on, and the second turns it off. They first switch the LED, on or off, depending on which routine it is, and then delay again (calling SWDel as before), next they check to see if the button is still pressed, looping back around if it is. Once the key has been released the routine exits via the usual 'retlw' and returns to waiting for a keypress. I've used the variable SWDel (and provided the various delay times) so that you can easily try the effect of different delay times - in particular try setting SWDel to Del0, and see how the button pressing isn't reliable, you will probably find one of the buttons is worse than the others - particularly if you use old switches, wear makes them bounce more.

Tutorial 2.3 - requires Main Board, Switch Board, and LED Board.

Now for a more realistic example - this combines Tutorial 2.1 with Tutorial 1.9, the result is an LED sequencing program with four different patterns, selected by the four keys, with the key selected indicated by the corresponding LED.

end 

The main differences here are in the Delay routine, which now has a call to check the keys every milli-second, and the main loop, where it selects one of four tables to read, depending on the settings of flag bits which are set according to which key was last pressed.

Tutorial 2.4 - requires Main Board, Switch Board, and LED Board.

Very similar to the last tutorial, except this one combines Tutorials 2.2 and 2.3 with Tutorial 1.9, the result is an LED sequencing program with three different patterns, selected by three of the keys, with the key selected indicated by the corresponding LED - the difference comes with the fourth switch, this selects slow or fast speeds, with the fast speed being indicated by a toggled LED.
