Purpose:

In this lab, you will learn how to write a simple C program for 80X51 micro-controller, compile it using C51 compiler, and emulate it on an emulator using PDS51. The program will be used to control a simple 4-bit up-down counter, capable of counting from 0 to 15. At each step the count should be displayed in decimal format on the LCD.

Assignment:
In this lab :

• You will design a 4-bit Up-Down counter using the C programming language for the 8051 micro-controller and display the count on an LCD.
• You will then test and run your program on the 8051.

1. The 4 bit counter has the following functionality:

   • The counter has the following input pins :

     1. Reset : when high resets the counter dataout to ``0000''
     2. Updown : decides whether the counter counts up or down.
     3. Load : makes the counter count from the 4 bit input Datain
     4. Datain : which is a 4 bit input count

   • The counter has a 4 bit Dataout to reflect the count.
   • The count has to be sent to the LCD and displayed in decimal format.

1. 4.7k resistors(8)
2. 1k resistor(1)
3. DIP switch
4. LCD
5. 5V power supply
6. Philips PDS51 development board

Schematic:

Program:

#pragma SMALL DB OE
#include <reg51.h>
#include "io.h"

/* P0, P1, P2 and P3 are predefined port names and are bit addressable */

sbit reset = P0^4; /* bit 4 of Port 0 */
sbit up_down = P0^5;
sbit load = P0^6;
sbit Start_LCD = P3^7; /* bit 7 of Port 3 */

/* Delay function */
void delay() {

        int i, j;

        for(i=0; i<1000; i++)
                for(j=0; j<100; j++)
                        i = i + 0;
}

/* Function to output the decimal value of the count on the LCD */
void PrintInt(unsigned char i) {
	char ch[4];

	/* Write code to convert the count to a string value and use the
           PrintString function provided in io.c */

        PrintString(ch);
}

void main(void) {

        unsigned char count = 0;

        InitIO();  /* Initialize the LCD */
        while (1) {
                if (Start_LCD == 1) {
                        ClearScreen();
                        PrintString("Ready...");
                        delay();
                }
                else if (reset == 1) {

                        /* Output 0 on the LCD */

                }
                else if (load == 1) {

                       /* Output the current value of Datain on the LCD */

                }
                else {
                        /* Check the Up/Down pin for 1 or 0 count up or down
                           accordingly. Display each value on the LCD */
               }
      }
}

Steps to be followed:

1. Wire up the circuit as shown in the schematic.
   Note: Port 0 should not be used for output because it does cannot sufficiently drive the LCD.
2. Map your network drive to

   	P:\\Peart\cs122
   	

3. Run the batch file cs122.bat
4. Get the IO files to control the LCD. The functions specified in these files are used to handle initialization and other special functions of the LCD.
   io.c
   io.h
5. Open up a DOS window and edit your program under C: For eg:

   	C:\Temp\count.c
   	

6. Compile your programs

   	c51 count.c
   	c51 io.c
   	

   This would generate object files: count.obj, io.obj
7. Link the object files to create your executable file.

   	bl51 count.obj, io.obj to count.out
   	

8. Run the program using the PDS51 emulator

   	pds51 count.out
   	

Conclusion:

• You will have to demonstrate that your program works to the T.A.
• Turn-in your well commented C program for the counter and also a brief write-up explaining what you did and knowledge gained from this experiment.
