Hello, im familiar with software button debouncing. In software debouncing, the trade off is the microcontroller requires a few more cycles which can slow the execution of the program slightly and the variables needed for software debouncing requires a bit of memory. The texas instruments msp430series microcontrollers have io ports with configurable interrupt logic for each bit. Whats the best msp430 development enviroment hello, i just received my launchpad board and of course i joined this group. Happily emi and contact whacking can be cured by a decent debounce routine, but both factors. Hello all, ive been looking at davies msp430 ebook, specifically the software debounce section. For hobbyist or low to moderate volume applications, the few extra pennies spent on hardware debouncing isnt significant. What is switch bouncing and how to prevent it using debounce circuit. Debouncing, of course, is the process of removing the bounces, of converting the. Power consumption hardware vs software debouncing read 2035 times previous topic next topic.
Msp430s portinterruptrequest logic helps debounce contacts edn. Msp430 debounce hardware long press button youtube. Arduino software and hardware based button debouncing. Switch debouncing tutorial covering the cause and effect of switch bounce, with hardware and software solution including c code examples. This function reads the key state from the hardware. Switch debouncing tutorial msp430 interrupt button control. Clocks, reset signals and switch debouncing silverlight developer. To remove the bouncing from the circuit switch debouncing circuit is used. The downside of this software design is that no other input events are processed while a button is debounced, although their. Hello dennis, i have been working on a project using msp430f5529 launchpad aiming to increment and decrement the duty cycle of pwm signal by 10% each time p1. Bounce can be corrected in several different ways and can include either hardware of software solutions, but in this project, we will focus exclusively on a software solution.
Switch button debouncing msp lowpower microcontroller. Responding to your earlier comment, the debouncing article can be found on and then doing a search with debouncing as the topic. Debouncing contacts and switches in embedded systems. Debouncing switches in hardware and software when an mcu is polling a digital input several times a second it can very easily register that the switch or button has changed state rapidly between 0 and 1 a few times within a few milliseconds. Software debounce routines range from some quite simple approaches to sophisticated. Even if the buttons didnt bounce with filtering hardware for example we still want to capture the event of a pushed button and take some action one time for. Part 2 shows, first, hardware solutions and then software debouncing code. The intention is to look at how it can be used for software. For now, though, lets look into switch bounce and the standard ways to fix it in hardware and software. We will run the circuit with and without debouncing so that you can observe how button bounce can affect a circuit. In the hardware debouncing technique we use an sr flip flop to prevent the.
Raspberry pi projects msp430 projects stm32 projects esp8266 projects pic projects. A quick note about the capacitance of crystalsit seems the msp430, or at least newer versions of it, are able to set the load capacitance internally via software, so other capacitances may be used. Many functions like this can be done either in hardware or software, and often it comes down whether your processor has the extra cycles to spare. Arduino have code to prevent the software bouncing. Arduino software and hardware based button debouncing this, button debouncing, is vital for using any type of button with the arduino. I like hardware solutions because they give me more code space. I do not know in practice if use both soft and hardware means simultaneously would be better, or only either one is necessary. If i go for hardware debouncing, would it be efficient regardless of saving processing cycles. Hardware debouncing for push button and switches the rationalle of using one method over the other and the tradeoffs. Heres a whole bunch of stuff on software debouncing, concentrating on interruptdriven intelligent debounce code, that doesnt monopolize the processor with polling or delays.
