Getting data from tables

A major addition in this program is using a table to get patterns describing the dits and dahs to be sent. It appears right at the first of the assembly listing. The register PCL represents the low 8 bits of the program counter, ( tells where the next instruction comes from ). When a call to pattern is made the instruction 'addwf PCL, f' is executed. Just before the instruction is executed, PCL points at the instruction. After the instruction is executed PCL would normally point to the next memory location, but the instruction itself modifies PCL. If W = 0, then indeed no modification is made and the first entry in the data table, (dt), is taken as the next instruction. If W = 1, it is the 2nd entry in the table and so on.

The data table assembles as a bunch of 'retlw' instructions which in words says: ' return from the subroutine but first put this literal, (number), in W'. That is, in this case; retlw H'1F', retlw H'0F', retlw H'07' etc. So you see that the result of calling 'pattern' is to place a number in W given by the table value specified by W on entry. You of course have to stay within the table. If W is too large on entry you will overun the table.

Sound routine

The routine 'snd1' is like a delay routine with toggling of pin RA3 built in. The loops are 1 msec long and flipping is about half way through, meaning a almost square wave of frequency 1 kHz. The speaker is a piezoelectric speaker which is looks like a capacitor as a load. The 100 ohm resistor prevents a large inrush current. If you have a voice coil speaker you might also try it with a 100 resistor. Unless it is fairly high impedance, you may not get a very loud sound. Piezo speakers with a paper cone attached seem to give louder sound. I have what I think is a Radio Shack 40-1383 which works well.

RLF

This instructions rotates the bits of register f left through carry. Each bit 0 - 6 moves one bit position higher and the carry bit of STATUS moves into bit 0. Bit 7 is pushed into the carry bit of STATUS. There is also and instruction 'rrf', ( roll right through carry ), which moves the bits the other way. If you are concerned about the bits coming in from carry you should set, ( bsf STATUS, C), or clear, ( bcf STATUS, C ), carry before you do the shift. In this program we are only interested in getting the original bits 4-0 into the bit 4 position in order.

Now it's your turn

random numbers

The program is supposed to be used to learn morse code numbers but it's too easy if you know what the next number is to be. How about changing it so you get a random number between 0 and 9. Where can we get a random number? How about TMR0? It is continually running and the press of the button should be fairly random. Can you write the code? Hint: how about adding a random number 0-2 to a random number 0-8 and not allowing 10?

read a BCD switch

How about sending the value of an external BCD switch out the speaker whenever a button is pressed? The switch could be hooked to RB4-RB7, with the pushbutton moved to RA0. Remember that Port A has no internal pull-up resistors, you will need to supply and external one.

output a count

The output from the Counter in program #2 could also be output to the speaker with the routines contained here. What happens when you get to double digits though, (10-15)? One way to handle this is to have a units and a tens register as in program #3. What if another button press comes in while the current number is being output on the speaker? Perhaps the counting can be done using an interrupt routine.

sending ASCII

The code for this program was simplified considerably because it sends only numbers. Morse digits are all 5 dot-dash combinations long. Not so with other Morse characters. Can you think of a scheme to handle various length combinations?

One way to do this is to make all higher order bits not used zeros and then use a one to signify that all lower bits make up the valid pattern. Could you write the code to decode such a pattern?
