Flash Loader for 8-Pin ZiLOG MCUs

Serial Port Flash Loader for 8-Pin Z8F Zilog Encore(XP)

One major problem for the ZiLOG 8-pin mcu's is that it needs an expensive usb smart cable in order for the program to be 'flashed'/'burned' to their memory. This application aims to address this problem, by using a common serial port for flash loading (reading and erasing as well) instead of using an expensive tool.



For now,it's only tested with 8-pin Z8F042A. Hopefully in the future, it can also support other ZiLOG MCUs, not only these 8-pins (those 20- and 28-pins should be easier to program).

download: Flash Loader for 8-Pin Z8F.rar

forum link for project progress: Serial Port Flash Loader for 8-Pin Zilog MCUs

update(123009):
already tested with 8-pin z8f0423 and 28-pin z8f082a (yes, soic-28 also)

update(010110):
Win32 Executable verion: Flash Loader for 8-Pin Z8F (WIN32 Executable).rar
it only requires msvcp90.dll - most Win32 OS already have this; if not yet installed, it can be downloaded from Microsoft.

Python for PIC MCUs

Python (pseudo) Compiler for PIC12/PIC16 Microcontrollers

It uses pyastra (python assembler translator) and gpasm assembler.
The PyQt GUI has a QScintilla-based editor for easy editing of the python scripts to be compiled.

USB-based Oscilloscope (beta)

This is NOT considered as an oscilloscope yet. It's just a preparation of making a real PIC18F USB-based oscilloscope. For my initial testing, I used my PIC18F and PyUSB demo, same hardware and firmware for the 18F2550. The only difference is in the GUI, instead of PyQt QDial, I use PyQwt PlotCurve widget.

Right now, my problem is on the 18F2550 side. I still don't know how to use both the USB and ADC interrupts together. My first modification on PIC's firmware was no success. When I enabled the ADC interrupt routine, the whole program response slows down. I still have to read properly the datasheet(plus application notes), and ask for help of the 'masters'. What I'm currently doing on the code is reading a single byte of ADC value every 200ms (very slow!). From what I've understand, the PIC can (it should) send 64 bytes for every USB interrupt read request. I don't know how fast it is, but it will surely improve the PIC18F USB-based oscilloscope.

Portable Eric 4 Python IDE (v2)


After my first portable Eric4 IDE, here comes another portable Development Environement for Python. It's still Eric4, but this time it's now equipped with SciPy scientific tool for python (open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering). Together with NumPy and matplotlib, scipy turns Python into a powerful language for numerical computing.

Aside from matplotlib, I also added PyQwt. They both share the same purpose - plotting graphs in python. Although matplotlib graphs are more detailed than of PyQwt, I still prefer PyQwt because it can be easily integrated to PyQt GUIs, and it has also faster response(ideal for creating GUIs). Here is a good comparison between matplotlib vs PyQwt. Also, a possibility of embedding matplotlib plots into PyQt.

I also included pySerial, pyParallel and PyUSB. These three are great for learning PC interfacing. I wasn't able to test the pyparallel module, since my machine doesn't have any LPT ports. PySerial works fine, same with previous portable IDE. For PyUSB to work, LibUsb-Win32 has still need to be installed on the host machine.

download link: Eric4 IDE Python 2.6.rar
size: ~62MB RAR file (~250MB uncompressed EXE file), tested only on WinXP

PIC18F and PyUSB

I finally got a clearer idea on how to use the PyUSB libray. PyUSB is simply a python binding/wrapper for libusb. There are only few examples of python scripts I found on the net regarding the use of PyUSB. Also, the documentation for PyUSB is not that comprehensive yet.

On the USB device side, fortunately, Microchip has provide a LibUSB example for their PICDEM Full Speed USB demo board. Aside from the firmware for the PIC18F4550 family (includes PIC18F2550), they also provided a simple demo (Windows) application (with source codes for MSVC++ and Qt). It's a good opportunity to study LibUSB library along its generic usb device driver.
After some trial&errors on my python script, I finally made my PyQt GUI program working. (Most of my mistakes on the PyUSB module usage were the incorrect types of arguments used in the pyusb functions).

Below is my proto circuit. Basically it's the same circuit I used in my PIC18F2550 USB HID Mouse project. I only added two LEDs on RB0 and RB1 pins of pic18f2550. I also included a 10k potentiometer on RA0 pin (ADC ANA0).

I made a minimal modification on the LibUSB example firmware by Microchip so that it will be compatible with PyUSB demo python script:

PIC18F2550 USB HID Mouse

As my first step in learning on how to interface on PC USB ports, I copied the example source code for usb hid mouse by CCS C compiler. It's just a simple demo, moving the mouse pointer into a circular pattern, but it already gave me enough confidence because this example code works on my simple circuit. Since there's no problem with the circuit, I've continued with the next step which is the familiarization with the code routines/functions by modifying them (i.e. experimenting with the example code).

CCS C uses the usb_put_packet() command to send one packet to the usb host(PC), e.g. usb_put_packet(1, out_data, 4, USB_DTS_TOGGLE). The out_data parameter is an array of 4 elements (i.e. int8 out_data[4]). The first byte of out_data correspond to the state of mouse buttons, the second and third are for the x and y directions, while the last byte is for mouse wheel.

After experimenting with the usb_put_packet() function, I came up with this modified demo code for usb hib mouse. Instead of only moving the mouse pointer, I've configured it to 'draw some lines' on Microsoft Paint. And this was the result:


Here's the code used in that demo video:
 // USB HID Mouse draws "usb pic18F2550" on MS Paint
#include <18F2550.h>
#fuses HSPLL,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NODEBUG,USBDIV,PLL5,CPUDIV1,VREGEN
#use delay(clock=48000000)

#define USB_HID_DEVICE TRUE
#define USB_EP1_TX_ENABLE USB_ENABLE_INTERRUPT
#define USB_EP1_TX_SIZE 8
#include <pic18_usb.h>
#include <usb_desc_mouse.h>
#include <usb.c>

#define delay 20
#define scale 17
void draw_vertical(int8 direction)
{
int8 data[4], count = 0;
data[0] = 1;
data[1] = 0;
data[2] = direction;
data[3] = 0;
while(count<scale){
 if(usb_put_packet(1, data,4,USB_DTS_TOGGLE)) count++;
 delay_ms(delay);
}
}
void draw_horizontal(int8 direction)
{
int8 data[4], count = 0;
data[0] = 1;
data[1] = direction;
data[2] = 0;
data[3] = 0;
while(count<scale){
 if(usb_put_packet(1, data,4,USB_DTS_TOGGLE)) count++;
 delay_ms(delay);
}
}
void move_pointer(int8 x_direction, int8 y_direction)
{
int8 data[4], count = 0;
data[0] = 0;
data[1] = x_direction;
data[2] = y_direction;
data[3] = 0;
while(count<scale){
 if(usb_put_packet(1, data,4,USB_DTS_TOGGLE)) count++;
 delay_ms(delay);
}
}
void main(void)
{
usb_init_cs();

while (TRUE) {
 usb_task();
 if (usb_enumerated())
 {
   // 'u'
   draw_vertical(5);
   draw_horizontal(4);
   draw_vertical(-5);
   // 's'
   move_pointer(1,5);
   draw_horizontal(5);

   draw_horizontal(3);

   move_pointer(2,-3);
   draw_vertical(-3);
   draw_horizontal(3);
   draw_vertical(3);
   draw_horizontal(-3);
   draw_vertical(3);
   draw_horizontal(3);
   draw_vertical(-3);

   move_pointer(2,0);
   draw_horizontal(3);

   draw_horizontal(-3);
   draw_vertical(-3);
   draw_horizontal(3);
   // '5'

   draw_horizontal(3);
   draw_vertical(3);
   draw_horizontal(-3);
   // '0'
   move_pointer(5,0);
   draw_vertical(-5);
   draw_horizontal(3);
   draw_vertical(5);
   draw_horizontal(-3);
   // line
   move_pointer(0,7);
   draw_horizontal(-22);
   draw_vertical(2);
   draw_horizontal(22);
  
  
   delay_ms(5000);

}

Scrolling Message Display on a DMM

Recently, I came across this Python package for GPIB interfacing. It's called PyVISA, and it's relatively easy to use even if you don't have backgrounds on Python programming language. As part of my experiments on Python PC interfacing, I managed to borrow an equiptment having a GPIB port.The Agilent (HP)34410A Digital Multimeter (DMM), it's one of the commonly used equipments in our workplace. While reading the 'remote programming' manual of this DMM, I found out that it is capable of displaying text (e.g. alphanumerics) on its front panel display. The GPIB command is fairly simple, just send DISPlay:TEXT + the qouted message. (e.g. DISP:TEXT "hello" ). The message to be displayed is up to 12 characters long.


the PyVISA python script for scrolling message:
 import visa, time  

hp = visa.Instrument('GPIB::2')

def display(msg):
hp.write('DISP:TEXT ' + '"' + msg + '"')

message = ' scrolling message display on Agilent HP34410A using Python PyVISA. by yus Electronicslab.ph'

for count in range(100):
for i in range( len(message)):
#display(message[i:(i+12)])
display(message[i:(i+12)].upper())
time.sleep(0.3)

PySerial DTR and RTS Manipulation

Another application using (Python) PyQt and PySerial: a simple serial port LED blinker program.

two LEDs connected to DTR and RTS of a COM port (pins 4 and 7 of DB9):

simple python py script:
 import sys, serial  
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import *

class MyForm(QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent = None):
super(MyForm, self).__init__(parent)
self.setWindowTitle('PySerial DTR and RTS Manipulation')
self.setMinimumSize(300, 100)
# widgets
DTRlabel, RTSlabel = QLabel(), QLabel()
self.DTRbutton = QPushButton('set to Logic "True"')
self.RTSbutton = QPushButton('set to Logic "True"')
self.DTRcheckbox = QCheckBox('continuous toggle')
self.RTScheckbox = QCheckBox('continuous toggle')
# layout
layout = QGridLayout()
layout.addWidget(DTRlabel, 0, 0)
layout.addWidget(RTSlabel, 0, 1)
layout.addWidget(self.DTRbutton, 1, 0)
layout.addWidget(self.RTSbutton, 1, 1)
layout.addWidget(self.DTRcheckbox, 2, 0)
layout.addWidget(self.RTScheckbox, 2, 1)
self.setLayout(layout)
# serial port
self.port = serial.Serial('COM1')
DTRlabel.setText("<font size = 5 color = darkred><b> " +self.port.name + " DTR pin:</b></font>")
RTSlabel.setText("<font size = 5 color = darkred><b> " +self.port.name + " RTS pin:</b></font>")
self.DTRlogic, self.RTSlogic = False, False
self.port.setDTR(self.DTRlogic)
self.port.setRTS(self.RTSlogic)
# events
self.connect(self.DTRbutton, SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.toggleDTR)
self.connect(self.RTSbutton, SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.toggleRTS)
self.DTRtimer , self.RTStimer = QTimer(), QTimer()
self.connect(self.DTRtimer, SIGNAL('timeout()'), self.eventDTRtimer)
self.DTRtimer.start(250) # in milliseconds
self.connect(self.RTStimer, SIGNAL('timeout()'), self.eventRTStimer)
self.RTStimer.start(100) # in milliseconds

def toggleDTR(self):
self.DTRbutton.setText('set to Logic "' + str(self.DTRlogic) + '"')
self.DTRlogic = not self.DTRlogic # invert logic
self.port.setDTR(self.DTRlogic)
def toggleRTS(self):
self.RTSbutton.setText('set to Logic "' + str(self.RTSlogic) + '"')
self.RTSlogic = not self.RTSlogic # invert logic
self.port.setRTS(self.RTSlogic)
def eventDTRtimer(self):
if self.DTRcheckbox.isChecked():
self.toggleDTR()
def eventRTStimer(self):
if self.RTScheckbox.isChecked():
self.toggleRTS()

if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
form = MyForm()
form.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
