PIC Microcontoller Program Flow Method: Conditionally replace one value with another

contents:

See also:

[FIXME: rather than having many copies of each routine, one for each register that you need to adjust, point FSR at the register and use a single routine that uses FSR fsr.htm ]

Single Value Replacement

If w='a' then replace it with 'x', if it is something else, leave it alone.

Nikolai Golovchenko says It can be done like this:

        xorlw 'a'       ;compare to 'a', w' = w ^ 'a'
        btfss STATUS, Z
         movlw 'x'^'a'  ;if not equal, w = 'x' ^ 'a'
        xorlw 'a'       ;if w was equal to 'a', restore it
                        ;if   w  was  unequal  to 'a',
                        ; w = 'x' ^ 'a' ^ 'a'= 'x'


Conditional Swap

From http://www.myke.com/basic.htm

Here's a compare and swap
   movf    X, w                 
   subwf   Y, w                 ;  Is Y >= X?
   btfsc   STATUS, C            ;  If Carry Set, Yes
     goto   $ + 2                ;   Don't Swap
   addwf   X, f                 ;  Else, X = X + (Y - X)
   subwf   Y, f                 ;        Y = Y - (Y - X)

This can be used to, for example, Convert ASCII to Upper Case

Min and Max

code to find the minimum or maximum value of 2 or values.

limit

Code to force a variable to the maximum value if it exceeds that value.

Also known as ``saturating arithmetic''. Very important in audio filters.

8 bit saturating arithmetic

"clipping" or "limiting": If the value _x is "too big", clip it to the maximum value. If the value _x is "too small", clip it to the minimum value. Otherwise leave _x alone.

min_limit equ 5
max_limit equ H'F1'

_limit_x:
; clip _x to make sure it doesn't exceed the limits.
; unsigned_max8:
; _x_new := max( _x_initial, min_limit )
   ; from Anders Jansson
    movlw min_limit
    subwf _x, W
   skpc ; btfss STATUS, C
        subwf _x, F
; unsigned_min8:
; _x_new := min( _x_initial, max_limit )
   ; from Anders Jansson
   movlw max_limit
   subwf _x, W
   skpnc ; btfsc STATUS, C
       subwf _x, F
; now we can be sure that (min_limit <= x) and (x <= max_limit).
   return

16-bit saturating arithmetic

This code adds a signed 8 bit value "reading" to a signed 16 bit running sum "total". (useful for the "I" part of PID control). If the result overflows 16 bits, it properly saturates to max_int or min_int.

    ; However, if total_H was already the negative number 0x80, and we "added" reading=0,
    ; we get the same result: 0x80 and C=0; we *don't* want to saturate.
    ; (b) total_H was already the negative number 0x80, and we "decremented" it
    ; with a negative number (temp = 0xFF), resulting in 0x7F and C=1. --> need to saturate to total = 0x8000 (or total = 0x8001 would probably be OK).
    ; However, if total_H was already the positive number 0x7F (total = 0x7F01), and we "added" reading = -1,
    ; we get the same result: 0x7F and C=1; we *don't* want to saturate.

    ; Check for overflow.
    ; If you have an overflow, 
    ; force the total to the appropriate value

Absolute Value

; this function returns +127, (the most positive
; value that can be represented as a signed
; 8 bit value) not +128 (since that cannot

16 bit signed integer min and 16 bit signed integer max

Keywords: (if anyone looks for this code using a search engine) compare comparing 16-bit signed integer integers DS1820 DS18B20 DALLAS thermometer

I wrote this code after spending several hours on the net looking for a readymade example. I wanted to build a thermometer based on the Dallas DS1820, and have a minimum-maximum reading. This requires a signed-16-bit (2's complement) subtraction. Finally I got this (not so optimized):

;Compare 16-bit signed integer (2's complement) to minimum & maximum.
;First byte is LSB (as in the DS1820 thermometer), second byte is MSB

;compare to MINIMUM:
	btfsc	zeroMinMaxFlag
	    goto	setMin

	movf	temperature,w
	subwf	min,w		;subtract LSB (low byte)
	movf	temperature+1,w
	btfss	STATUS,C
	    addlw	1
	subwf	min+1,w		;subtract MSB (hi byte)
	andlw	b'10000000'	;test result's sign bit
	btfss	STATUS,Z
	    goto	skipSetMin
setMin
	movf	temperature,w
	movwf	min
	movf	temperature+1,w
	movwf	min+1
skipSetMin

;--
;compare to MAXIMUM:

	btfsc	zeroMinMaxFlag
	goto	setMax

	movf	temperature,w
	subwf	max,w		;subtract LSB (low byte)
	movf	temperature+1,w
	btfss	STATUS,C
	    addlw	1
	subwf	max+1,w		;subtract MSB (hi byte)
	andlw	b'10000000'	;test result's sign bit

	    goto	skipSetMax
