LCD is a display with multipurpose icons. The display uses 4 commons and 28
segment drives. The Timer1 oscillator is used to clock the display peripheral and allow
the LCD to display data even in Sleep. Normally, the Timer1 counter would be used to
drive the display, but this timer is required for the BLDC software. This requires
configuring the LCD peripheral for a Type B waveform for this demo. The Type B
waveform requires coordinating LCD updates when the peripheral is ready. The BLDC
Interrupt requirements preclude using the built-in LCD interrupt for update
coordination, therefore, the LCD interrupt is polled as part of the main loop. Type A
waveforms can update the display without the extra coordination complexity. The
different waveform types are described in section 21.9 of the PIC16LF1947 data sheet
(DS41414). Because the LCD is clocked from the 32.768 kHz crystal, the LCDIF
operates at a multiple of the crystal frequency, providing a very accurate time base for
the real-time clock.
2.8.5
User Interface
Due to the extreme simplicity of this board, only a single button and a single pot are
available for user input. A MCLR button is also present for the demonstration, this will
function as a master clear switch. These two elements allow the user to cycle through
the display elements, change the motor speed and change the time.
Pressing and releasing the button cycles through the following display modes:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Add-on Motor Indicator
Setable AM/PM Clock
24-hr clock with seconds
Temperature (C)
Temperature (F)
POT ADC Value
Motor RPM (BLDC and stepper motors only)
By holding down the RD2 button during the Setable Clock mode, the minutes will begin
to increment. The minutes will increment from 0-9; when the minutes increment past 9,
the minutes will begin to increase by factors of 10. When incrementing reaches an hour,
the hours will begin to increment and the minutes will stay at 00. The AM/PM indicator
will automatically change accordingly. To set the clock, first set the hours and release
the button. Then, set the tens of minutes and release the button. Finally, set the
seconds. To synchronize the seconds, increment the minutes one final time at the
instant the time reference advances to the next minute.
Turning the pot will change the motor speed.
When an expansion board is present, the F1 LV Evaluation code will automatically
detect the add-on type and modify the motor drive accordingly.

Chapter 3. Programming the F1 LV Evaluation Platform
3.1
INTRODUCTION
The F1 LV Evaluation Platform makes extensive use of the on-board peripherals of the
PIC16LF1947. This chapter provides guidance concerning the tools used for
programming the F1 LV Evaluation Board and a map of the board function to I/O pin
and pin function.
3.2
PROGRAMMING/DEVELOPMENT TOOL SUPPORT
The following development tools support the F1 LV Evaluation Platform:
1. PICkit™ 3
2. ICD 3
3. REAL ICE™ in-circuit emulator (with adapter AC164110)
The PICkit™ or ICD 3 tools can also power the F1 LV Evaluation Platform, therefore,
no additional hardware is required to get started. The ICSP pins of the PIC16LF1947
are dedicated to the PICkit ICSP connector, eliminating interactions between the
Evaluation Platform and the programmer/debugger.
If you are developing with the REAL ICE emulator ICD, you will need the AC164110
adaptor, or the high-speed trace adaptor. These adaptors provide the inline 6-pin
connector required by the PICkit ICSP programming capability interface. You will also
need a power supply, please see Chapter 2. “Getting Started” for more on powering
the F1 LV Evaluation Platform.

USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 4. Demo Code
4.1
INTRODUCTION
The F1 LV Evaluation Platform demo is located at www.microchip.com/F1LVEval. The
F1 LV Evaluation demonstration program uses a single Combined Demo. The Combined Demo source code is organized into sectional code for ease of portability:
This chapter provides an overview to the functions provided by these demos.
4.2
SERVICE DRIVERS
Multiple services drivers are utilized during this demo for operation. For user ease,
these drivers have been separated for easy portability.
- The I2C driver is used by the MCP9800 driver to read the current temperature
from the on-board MCP9800 I2C temperature sensor.
- Using the LCD and RTCC drivers, the LCD is used for display of the clock,
temperature, motor status and motor type.
- The UNI/O® driver is used to read from each add-on board which motor type
is being attached, and which firmware should be used.
4.3
COMBINED DEMO
The combined demo combines all the software from all the previous demos to show the
power of the PIC16LF1947. In this demo, the user can attach any of the (4) add-on
motor boards for use. The F1 LV Evaluation Board will auto-detect the type of motor
add-on used and automatically configure accordingly for use. All drivers are reused
from the previous demos. The RTCC is driven from the LCD peripheral.
The combined demo is preprogrammed in the F1 LV Evaluation Platform.
4.4
MOTOR CONTROL GUI APPLICATION
The F1 LV Evaluation Platform is developed to connect through the MCP2200 to the
user’s computer emulating a serial port. The GUI is capable of detecting which F1 LV
add-on board is being used. Through the application, the user is capable of exploring
the many options made with these motor types.
The GUI is capable of detecting and displaying which firmware version is being used
through the F1 LV Evaluation Platform, and also which add-on board is connected. The
features of the GUI in use with the F1 LV Evaluation Platform with its add-on boards is
discussed in the Add-on User’s Guide.
4.5
BLDC DEMO
The BLDC demo controls a sensorless, brushless DC motor connected to the PIC16F1
BLDC Expansion board (DM164130-2). Motors of the same type, but other than the
motor supplied, can also be driven by making appropriate modifications to the motor
control parameters.
Refer to application note AN1305, “Sensorless 3-Phase Brushless Motor Control with
the PIC16FXXX”, for detailed information regarding BLDC motor control.

F1 LV Evaluation Platform User’s Guide
4.6
BDC DEMO
The BDC demo controls a brushed DC motor connected to the PIC16F1 BDC
Expansion board (DM164130-6). Motors of the same type, but other than the motor
supplied, can also be driven by making appropriate modifications to the motor control
parameters.
4.7
UNIPOLAR STEPPER DEMO
The Unipolar Stepper Demo controls a Unipolar stepper motor connected to the
PIC16F1 Unipolar Expansion board (DM164130-8). Motors of the same type, but
other than the motor supplied, can also be driven by making appropriate modifications
to the motor control parameters.
4.8
BIPOLAR STEPPER DEMO
The Bipolar Stepper Demo controls a Unipolar stepper motor connected to the
PIC16F1 Bipolar Expansion board (DM164130-7). Motors of the same type, but other
than the motor supplied, can also be driven by making appropriate modifications to
the motor control parameters.

USER’S GUIDE
Chapter 5. Hardware Libraries and Drivers
5.1
INTRODUCTION
The demo code uses a common set of libraries to provide I2C, real-time clock,
MCP9800 and LCD services. These libraries may be useful for other applications so
they are documented here. These drivers are located at www.microchip.com/F1LVEval.
5.2
I2C™ DRIVER
The I2C driver allows I2C requests to be queued and then handled either by interrupts
or by polling. The driver is configured during compilation to support polling or interrupts.
The I2C and LCD demos configure the driver for interrupt mode. The Combined Demo
polls the I2C handler within the MCP9800 driver.
5.3
MCP9800 DRIVER
The MCP9800 driver uses the I2C driver to get the current temperature. The
mcp9800_get_temp function is fully blocking, so once a request is queued, the driver
polls the I2C subsystem until the data is complete. If the I2C driver is operating without
interrupts, the mcp9800_get_temp function repeatedly calls the I2C_handler
function to process all the I2C events. If the I2C driver is operating with interrupts, the
mcp9800_get_temp function simply inserts an I2C_TRANSACTION_T into the I2C
transaction queue and waits for the transaction to complete.
5.4
RTCC DRIVER
A software RTCC is managed by the supplied RTCC driver. This driver implements the
time() function required by the C compiler. Time is internally kept as seconds since
January 1, 1970. Standard C functions can be used to convert the time to the current
date. This driver has two modes. In the first mode, it expects to be called once per
second by the Timer1 interrupt. In the second mode, it expects to be called on every
LCD mode B frame. This allows the RTCC to keep accurate time even if Timer1 is
being used by some other function, such as the BLDC motor driver.
5.5
LCD DRIVER
The LCD driver contains the initialization code required for the LCD peripheral and the
mapping code required to control the LCD supplied with this demo board. It is a good
starting point for the LCD driver your unique application will require.
2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS41614A-page 27
F1 LV Evaluation Platform User’s Guide
5.6
USING THE I2C™ DRIVER
The supplied software includes an I2C Master mode driver with the following features:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Interrupt driven or polled
Queued requests
Minimum memory requirements
Uses Restart to maximize bus bandwidth
Multiple atomic I2C transactions allowed at each queue entry
Completion flag for each queued block of I2C commands.
5.6.1
I2C Data Structures
Two data structures are defined to simplify interactions with the I2C driver.
5.6.1.1
I2C_RESULTS
The I2C_RESULTS is an enumerated type with the following enumerations:
TABLE 5-1:
I2C_RESULTS_T
I2C_REQUEST_PENDING
Request is in the queue or in process but it is not
done.
I2C_REQUEST_COMPLETE
The request is finished successfully.
I2C_REQUEST_STUCK_START
The request was aborted. The Start condition did
not clear correctly.
I2C_REQUEST_ADDRESS_NO_ACK
The request was aborted. No ACK occurred on
the address, so the target device must not exist
or is not functioning.
I2C_REQUEST_DATA_NO_ACK
The request was aborted. Not all of the data
could be sent because the device did not ACK a
byte.
I2C_REQUEST_LOST_STATE
The I2C state machine had a RAM corruption
and the default case caught the failure. This will
infinite loop so you should never see it.
The data completion flag for an I2C request is of type I2C_RESULTS. This flag will be
I2C_REQUEST_PENDING until the request is complete. If the request completed
without errors, the value will be I2C_REQUEST_COMPLETE. If there were errors, the
value will reflect one of the other 4 error conditions.
5.6.1.2
I2C_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_BLOCK
The I2C_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_BLOCK is a structure representing one
transaction on the I2C bus. A transaction contains the following elements:
1. A 7- or 10-bit address. Address type is determined automatically by the driver.
R/W mode is implicit in the address and specified by bit 0.
2. An 8-bit baud rate. This is the value placed in SPADD. Predefined constants are
included that compute the SPADD value given an FOSC value. Set FOSC with
a #define before #including the I2C.h file.
3. A buffer_length. This is the number of bytes available for reading or writing
at the supplied data buffer.
4. A Buffer Pointer. Your application will allocate a block of memory for an I2C
transaction. Pass a pointer to this block via the Buffer Pointer. The block must
remain valid until the transaction is complete (i.e., if you allocate the block as a
non-static array within a function, you must not leave the function until the I2C
transaction is complete or the array may be reused by a different function).

Hardware Libraries and Drivers
5.6.2
I2C Function Interface
5.6.2.1
i2c_init
The function i2c_init configures the I2C driver and makes it ready to receive
transaction in the transaction queue.
FIGURE 5-1:
initialize()
{
i2c_init;
}
5.6.2.2
i2c_insert
The function i2c_insert places one complete set of Transaction Request Block
(TRBs). TRBs can be bundled into an array of multiple TRBs and inserted as one large
request. The driver will ensure that all the TRBs in the list will be processed sequentially
with I2C restarts separating them.
FIGURE 5-2:
Send_data()
{
I2C_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_BLOCK trb_list[5];
I2C_RESULTS flag;
… populate the trb’s …
i2c_insert(5,trb_list, &flag);
}
5.6.2.3
i2c_build_write_trb / i2c_build_read_trb
The i2c_build_write_trb and i2c_build_read_trb functions are helpers to
assemble the I2C_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_BLOCKS from passed parameters.
FIGURE 5-3:
Send_one_byte()
{
I2C_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_BLOCK trb_list;

i2c_build_write_trb(&trb_list,ADDRESS, 1, &data, i2c_200K);
i2c_insert(1,&trb,&flag);
}
5.6.2.4
i2c_write_block / i2c_read_block
The i2c_write_block and i2c_read_block functions are helpers that assemble
a TRB, insert it into the queue and wait for the transaction to complete.

FIGURE 5-4:
Send_one_byte()
{
unsigned char data;
i2c_write_block(ADDRESS, 1, &data, i2c_200K);
}
5.6.2.5
i2c_handler
The i2c_handler function must be called for each I2C state to be handled. This
function can be placed into the Interrupt Service Routine for your application or, you
can simply poll it often. If the i2c_write_block or i2c_read_block functions are
used when the driver is configured for polling, then this function will repeatedly be
called until the transaction completes.
FIGURE 5-5:
Interrupt_service_routine()
{
i2c_handler();
}
5.7
USING THE LCD DRIVER
The supplied LCD driver configures the LCD module for the I/O pins used by the F1 LV
Evaluation Platform. Icon definitions are provided to simplify the software. A BCD to
7-segment display mapping function is also provided to further simplify control of the
LCD glass. For more information concerning the LCD peripheral, please consult the
LCD chapter in the PIC16LF1947 data sheet (DS41414).
5.7.1
LCD Data Structures
5.7.1.1
BCD_TYPE
To simplify BCD to the 7-segment display mapping, a BCD segment data type has been
provided. This data type is simply four 4-bit fields representing digits 0, 1, 2 and 3.
FIGURE 5-6:
typedef union
{
UINT16
val;
struct
{
unsigned
digit0 : 4;
unsigned

};
} BCD_TYPE;
Simply place the number you want displayed in each digit position and call
lcd_display_digits.

Hardware Libraries and Drivers
5.7.2
LCD Function Interface
5.7.2.1
lcd_init
This function configures the LCD peripheral for this board and this glass. Type B
waveforms are used to allow the LCD peripheral to be used for the real-time clock
function. The Timer1 oscillator is configured as the LCD clock source.
FIGURE 5-7:
System_initialize()
{
lcd_init();
}
5.7.2.2
lcd_display_digits
This function accepts a BCD_TYPE variable and maps each digit to the correct
segments. Mapping the segments is done in two stages. First, the digit is converted to
the correct 7-segment mapping. Then, the 7-segment mapping is converted to the
actual glass segments with a long series of “if-else” statements. This function will need
extensive work in the “if-else” statements for applications driving different glass.
FIGURE 5-8:
void display_int(int t)
{
BCD_TYPE bcd;
bcd.digit0 = t %10;
t /= 10;
bcd.digit1 = t % 10;
t /= 10;
bcd.digit2 = t % 10;
t /= 10;
bcd.digit3 = t%10;
lcd_display_digits(bcd);
}
5.7.2.3
lcd_display_on/lcd_display_off
These two functions simply turn the LCD peripheral off. The Timer1 oscillator is left
running. One use for these functions is to implement display blinking.

5.8
USING THE RTCC DRIVER
The RTC driver simply keeps track of seconds. The power-up initial value is ‘0’,
however, a function (rtcc_set) is provided to change that value. To keep the seconds
up-to-date, the function, rtcc_handler, must be called more frequently than the
defined value of CLOCKS_PER_SECOND. There are two options for the RTCC driver.
The first option is to use the Timer1 counter to provide a 1 Hz interrupt
(CLOCKS_PER_SECOND = 1). The second option is to use the LCD write-allowed
interrupt flag to provide a 128 Hz event (CLOCKS_PER_SECOND = 128). The two
choices are selected by defining use_lcdif or undefining use_lcdif.
5.8.1
RTCC Function Interface
5.8.1.1
rtcc_init
Initialize the RTCC function including Timer1, if required.
FIGURE 5-12:
System_initialization()
{
rtcc_init();
}
5.8.1.2
rtcc_handler
The rtcc_handler function must be called frequently to keep the internal seconds
counter accurate.
FIGURE 5-13:
System_interrupt_service_routine()
{
If(TMR1IF & TMR1IE)
{
TMR1IF = 0;
rtcc_handler();
}
}
5.8.1.3
rtcc_set
After system initialization, the seconds counter is cleared to ‘0’. The standard C
libraries equate 0 seconds to Midnight, Jan 1, 1970. That time has expired a long time
ago, so a new time in seconds can be configured with rtcc_set().
2011 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS41614A-page 33

FIGURE 5-14:
#include <time.h>
Time_set() // set the time & date to 1 second after midnight, July 4, 2009
{

time_t unix_time;
time_str.tm_year = 2009; // the year
time_str.tm_mon = 7;

// the seconds
time_str.tm_isdst = -1; // daylight savings time modifier
unix_time = mktime(&time_str);
rtcc_set(unix_time);
}
5.8.1.4
time
The standard C libraries require the application to supply the time function. This
function returns the current time_t value or loads a supplied time_t value. The
interrupts are saved and restored to make this function safe for use with interrupt driven
code.

The MCP9800 is an I2C temperature sensor. The MCP9800 driver provides a simple
interface to the features in the sensor.
5.9.1
MCP9800 Function Interface
5.9.1.1
mcp9800_init
This function configures the MCP9800 for 12-bit temperature, Continuous Conversion
mode. In this mode, the temperature is always ready to be read from the I2C interface.
FIGURE 5-15:
System_init()
{
i2c_init();
mcp9800_init();
}
5.9.1.2
mcp9800_get_temp
This function reads the current temperature and scales the result to degrees C * 10.
(24.3C is returned 243)
FIGURE 5-16:
Thermostat()
{
int temperature;
temperature = mcp9800_get_temp();
if(temperature > 260)
{
turn_on_air_conditioner();
}

Chapter 6. Troubleshooting
6.1
INTRODUCTION
There may come a time when you need to determine why your F1 LV Evaluation
Platform is not performing correctly. This chapter lists a few of the problems that can
prevent proper operation.
6.2
COMMON PROBLEMS
6.2.1
The board will not power up
Make sure the power supply jumper is populating the proper pins. Confirm the ISENSE,
J4, jumper is populated or an ammeter is connected. Then, go back and review
Chapter 2. “Getting Started” of this manual.
6.2.2
LCD is blank, but everything else works
The demo code in supplied with the F1 LV Evaluation Platform uses the Timer1
oscillator to drive the LCD. If the Timer1 oscillator is not oscillating, the LCD will remain
blank. Here are some steps to assure that the Timer1 oscillator is working properly.
1. Clean and dry the board especially around the components at the top right corner
of the PIC16LF1947.
2. Make sure no foreign material is shorting the crystal leads.
3. If you are using the RC0 and RC1 pins for some other function, you should
modify lcd_init to reconfigure the LCD peripheral for a different clock
source.
The Timer1 oscillator of the PIC16LF1947 is a very low-power design that can be easily
disrupted by stray leakage. In an actual application, Microchip recommends that the
crystal circuit be conformal coated to prevent leakage. Please review Application Note
AN1288, “Design Practices for Low-Power External Oscillators” for more information.
