Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I want to port across something I only have in assembler to a Pico
But as most of you know I'm hopeless with code
However I'm going to give it a go

If anyone knows how to read assembler could you "PLEASE" tell me what the following subroutines do, as in how the get the values and where from

CHECKTHR  'This check the threshold but where does it get the threshold from
THRSET  'sets the threshold "somehow"
DONETHR 'done setting the threshold?
LEDBAR  'How/Where does is get the dbm values from?
TETRA4S  'I think contains 4 second timer?
MAIN  'Start A/D convert? how does it assign the (RSSI)dbm figure?
CONV0 'I think this reads the analog input and assigns the RSSI(dbm) value but How?

Once I understand how those work, I should be able to do the rest

My only assembler was a brief dabble with Z80 about 3 years ago.

It's a bit of a big ask Lewis, IMO you need to bite the bullet yourself and go through the code line by line looking up the mnemonics (I think it's the PIC18F instruction set) and commenting as you go,

e.g.

CHECKTHR
; Subroutine called from TETRA4S ; Checks if threshold is reached
;
MOVFW TEMPBAR     ; Move value from TEMPBAR into W.
SUBWF THRLVL, 0   ; Subtract W from value in THRLVL and store back in W.
BTFSC STATUS,Z    ; If the Z bit of value in the STATUS register is zero (meaning the
                  ; result of the previous subtraction was not zero) then skip the
                  ; next instruction.
GOTO PIP          ; Jump to the PIP routine.
RETURN            ; Return from the CHECKTHR routine.


I *think* the equivalent MMBasic probably looks something like

Sub CHECKTHR
 If TEMPBAR = THRLVL Then PIP() ' Call PIP routine
End Sub


Good luck,

Tom

If you know what it does and, if there's some sort of user interface, what it looks like when it's running then IMHO it would be *far* easier to start from scratch and write something new in MMBasic that behaves like it. If you don't know what it does then my advice is to forget it. Unless you really love banging your head against walls, that is.  :)

OTOH, PIC assembler doesn't have that many commands (but they do have some horrible register addressing).

The first questions are "What is it?" and "What do you want to do with it?"

Can you provide links for your sources for this code and this module?

can't help with the de-assemble (as others have pointed out it is a big ask because you have to be privy to the mental processes of the original programmer), but if you want to write PIC ASM, consider using Great Cow Basic. It is very active and has had several recent updates.  takes all (well, most) the grunt out of assembler. it is compiled and the F818 is one of thousands of PICs and AVRs it directly supports. You can go direct from GCB to programmed PIC if you have your tool chain set up right (I tend to go to a HEX file and manually burn).

You can examine the Assembler it generates and tweak if you need to (I rarely do, it does quite a good job if you ignore the non-pre-emptive setting of bank bits), you can also have inline Assembler in your basic source. No floating point, so all those fixed point tricks you used 40 years ago will benefit.

I use it for simpler projects or where speed is needed.

here is an example of some code of mine to show how easy it is to use (and uses a diminutive 12F508 to do something useful).

I'm not sure if this is any help but oshonsoft.com has a  PIC simulator with a basic compiler that looks quite good for some of the lower and midrange PIC chips. It has a nominal cost but might allow you to analyze the code and it does allow you to see the assembly code generated by the Basic compiler. You might be able to work backward and infer how you would code it in MMBasic. That being said looking at the user interface of your device and what it does is probably a more straight forward approach to getting the same functionality.

Hi lew247,
The device is a Microchip PIC16F818. Giving your listing the briefest of scans, it uses an I2C interface to somewhere.
I'm not familiar with this micro, and it has an unusual instruction "MOVFW", probably more likely an older version of "MOVF register-name,W", but I don't have the datasheet and can't check this immediately.

CHECKTHR
; Subroutine called from TETRA4S ; Checks if threshold is reached
MOVFW TEMPBAR
SUBWF THRLVL, 0
BTFSC STATUS,Z
GOTO PIP
RETURN

As per Thwill's explanation, CHECKTHR subroutine compares TEMPBAR with THRLVL and jumps to label PIP if TEMPBAR = THRLVL, otherwise RETURN's back to where CHECKTHR was called from.

The variable THRLVL is written anywhere there is a "MOVWF THRLVL" instruction, such as in the "DONETHR" subroutine.
See also :-
; Restore Threshold from EEPROM ....
or
; INC threshold .... sequence of comparisons,
or
; DEC threshold DECTHR .... sequence of comparisons.

The code isn't strongly structured, using as it does many GOTO's, so would be more difficult to understand for a conversion to MMBASIC.

As Mixtel90 says, if you know how the original worked, I would start from there.

The PIC16F818 would likely have just 35 instructions to understand. Only some are used in your code, so getting the idea of the flow of the code shouldn't be too daunting - if rather time-consuming however!

With best regards, Paul.
Nothing so constant as change.

Assembler is simple, and as such it seems complex because you need a lot of it. The big problem is that you have to read it in conjunction with the datasheets for the uP concerned.

You asked where LEDBAR get the dbm values from.

Well I'm impressed with this code, it's actually got some comments in it!
It's also nicely presented. Much better than many coders work.

So LEDBAR does the outputting of the data to the leds.

---
LEDBAR ;
MAXH contains RSSI max value
; LED bar pattern is in W
MOVFW MAXH
---

Which tells you directly that the data comes from MAXH

Note that MOVFW is a assembler directive not an actual command but it acts like one. It's just a bit of shorthand that saves the programmer typing in a lot of repetitive commands.


W is the PIC "accumlator" register.


If you then search for MAXH you will find that it gets it's data from the A/D convertor ADRESH

There is a long list of code that converts the A/D values into the necessary dbm values...

In mmbasic all of this can be done with the ADC commands which can also be set to generate an interrupt when the conversion is complete and the data is in the specified array.



However as others have said it's pretty much pointless trying to covert this code the Pico MMbasic directly

By all means use it as a guide as to what needs to be done, Just map out what you need to do, and then write the mmbasic routines, which will do a lot more than the assembler code will do and so will be much shorter.

Andy

Thanks everyone
I spent most of the night going through the code with the help of the datasheet and I think I've got it now
Basically it's measuring the voltage from an input and lighting a number of led's depending on the voltage

Can anyone tell me if the ADC of the pic on page 81 of the datasheet here outputs a high number with the highest voltage input and working down as the voltage goes down, or start low and work up?
The values are
HEX  DEC
0x9A 154 is this 2.5v or
0xA5 165
0xAF 175
0xBA 186
0xC5 197
0xD0 208
0xDA 218
0xE3 227 or is this 2.5v
0x00 0

Hi Lew,

The only way a higher number from the A/D can relate to a lower voltage is when Vref- and Vref+ are swapped. That is possible with this chip, that both are connected to a external voltage source, in swapped polarity. But highly unlikely.

So the higher number is the higher voltage....if you look at all the bits.
Your numbers are 8 bit numbers, and the ADC is 10 bits. the 2 most significant bits are missing in your list unless the ADC is used in 8 bit mode).

Looking at the application: converting output signal from a logaritmic amplifier (AD8307) most likely 10 bits are used.

I am guessing this is some kind of power meter with LED signal bar. Since the AD8307 is really wide bandwidth (up to 5.8Ghz) this could come from communication equipment, WIFI scanners, satellite receivers, HAM applications, military stuff (military won't use a PIC16F818 though...no military (JAN . . versions..).

I made it more readable.

RSSI comes from the ADC  It is saved in MAIN as MAXH then send to the
TETRA4S routine to convert to display. This routine checks to see if the RSSI has reached a threshold to alarm the system.

The donkey work is done in the ISR at the top. When a user presses the button a threshold can be set. It also clears the LED's so the can be updated ( seems to be time dependent, the LEDS can be differing brightness. )

The I2C is a software implementation. BUT.. No label, so a line or two may be missing.


FYI... I cant seem to post code with indentations... Tabs don't work

Yes it is

MOVLW  B'00001110' ; AN0 Analog input, AN1-4 Digital IO, ADRESH only (ADRESL discarded)
Does this mean that it's only using 8 bit numbers?

Is there an easy way to explain how you'd get an 8 bit number from a 10 bit input in basic?

BTW am I correct in thinking the output from the AD8307 is a voltage and nothing else?

  Quote  I cant seem to post code with indentations...

The first leading space gets cropped for some reason so use two or more leading spaces and code boxes indent ok.

Multiple spaces are deleted in normal HTML. To preserve indentation, use the "code" button above the edit box, or put your code within the tags "[ CODE][ /CODE]" without the space after "[" which keeps the tags from being acted on in this post.

I did that but it's still HTML.
I always use code tags. I use MANY forums and most see at least the first tab..

I never use tabs, only spaces, so maybe that's why I haven't seen what you saw. Tabs are treated so differently based on program or settings that I find it easier to just use spaces. CODE tags (in upper case on this forum) work for me:
 Some indentation
   Some further indentation
 Back again

Only the devil uses tabs to indent code.

Sure as eggs is eggs you will end up with a mix of tabs and spaces, and then someone will view the code on an editor with a different tab setting (2 vs. 4 vs. 8 characters) and the formatting will look completely screwed up to them - MMBasic firmware source I am looking at you .

I believe every modern IDE has a setting so that the TAB key outputs a configurable number of spaces instead of the actual TAB character - and I *hope* they all default to this.

Best wishes,

@lew247

Do you still need the breakdown?

CheckThreshold (CHECKTHR)  
Has the threshold in variable TEMPBAR.
This was obtained by reading the ADC and storing in MAXH, then the LEDBAR routine converts to -dbm.  

It is compared to the store variable THRLVL. ( which is set in INCTHR or the DECTHR routine called from THRSET from the ISR routine )
The pip routine sounds when its  exceeded.

Threshold set (THRSET) calls the INTHR and DECTHR and sets the level as needed THRLVL.

DONETHR is how you described.. Its the endpoint of the THRSET routine.

LEDBAR sets the LED configuration the variable TEMPBAR derived from MAXH converted to -dbm

TETRA4S checks the 4 seconds have elapsed and updates the LED's if it has.

MAIN is the main of course.. the RSSI (MAXH) is set up the converted when LEDBAR is called.

CONV0 is the conversion loop. The pic is busy converting so it waits until the GO bit is clear before moving on.

The only thing I can't determine is what the I2C is talking to I dont know address 0x60 but he call's it a tuner??
