It assumes an elementary knowledge of microproces- sOr programming on the level of the preceding book in this series (Ref- erence C202: Programming the 6502). Understanding how to program the microprocessor chip itself (the 6502) is only a prerequisite for the actual programming of a microprocessor board connected to real devices. The next problem is to learn how to write actual applica- tion programs involving the input/output ports and other facilities available in a real system. This book addresses itself to this problem. It will present the techniques and programs required for typical appli- cations, using the actual input-output chips available on a board. The programs presented in this book will require a minimum of ac- tual hardware to be effectively implemented. The user is therefore en- couraged to practice the concepts and techniques presented here on actual hardware. A realistic description of possible applications boards will be presented. The programs are applicable to any 6502-based mi- crocomputer board such as the KIM, the SYM, the AIM 65, or others. Many programs can be run directly on one or more of these boards while others will require some changes. However, the concepts and techniques are common to all. The application programs presented in this book will allow the reader to build a complete home alarm system, which includes fire detection and other features, an electronic piano, a motor speed regulator, an appli- ance or hobby-train controller, a time-of-day clock, a simulated traf- fic control system, a morse code generator, an industrial control loop for temperature control, including analog-to-digital conversion, and more. This book is intended to teach all the basic skills required to apply the 6502 to real life applications. It is preceded in our 6502 series by **C202 - Programming the 6502,’’ and followed by ‘‘G402 - 6502 Games.’’ TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF ILLUSTRATIONS .........cccecceceseel I. IT. Il. IV. VI.

This is the problém addressed by our book, ref C202, Programming the 6502. The next problem is to learn how to program effectively, us- ing input/output devices connected to the microprocessor board. This is the purpose of this book. Naturally, no book can completely cover all possible devices. A selection, therefore, has been made among the important input/output devices usually connected to a 6502, and ap- plication programs are presented, which are likely to fit a majority of applications. First, you will learn how to effectively program a PIO, the parallel input/output chip. You will learn to use polling or interrupts. You will learn to generate pulses, measure delays, and control actual input/ output devices such as switches, relays, or more complex devices such as a digital to analog converter, a motor, and others. You will also learn how to use more complex input/output chips such as a program- mable timer. Additional interfaces will be presented for simple de- vices, so that you may actually build an applications board and prac- tice On it. In order to learn programming effectively, you are strongly encour- aged to practice. It is indeed the only real way of becoming a proficient programmer. In order to practice, you will need a microcomputer board such as the KIM, the SYM, the AIM65, or any other 6502 board. Because all boards normally provide at least one PIO (often 2), and at least 2 timers (sometimes more), all programs presented in this book should run on any of these boards with minor variations, if any. 11 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The additional hardware which you will need in order to run speci- fic programs will be discussed in Chapters 4, 5 and 6. It is minimal and easily obtainable. In particular, you will find in Chapters 4, 5 and 6 the description of suggested applications boards which can be constructed from common components at low cost. It will allow you to run the programs in the chapter, using your microcomputer board and the applications board. It is suggested that you consider building it in order to practice. However, it is not indispensable. You will learn all the basic tech- niques by merely reading the book. If you wish to grow from there, then actual practice is strongly recommended. Connecting Your Microprocessor to the Real World Connecting the microprocessor itself to the real world first involves building a basic microprocessor board, then connecting it to actual de- vices. Both hardware and software interfaces will be required to con- nect actual devices to the board. This book will present in detail both the hardware components and the programs required for the most commonly used devices. In order to design industrial programs nor- mally involving expensive devices such as traffic signals, simulated devices will be used on the applications board, using LED’s for exam- ple. If the program were to be applied to a real traffic system, only the interface hardware would usually be changed. The program would re- main essentially identical. The skills you will learn are, therefore, ap- plicable to real life situations. The Pedagogy When reading this book, you will usually ‘‘learn by doing.” Each program will be presented in detail: its purpose, its flow-chart, the hardware interface, the devices, the program itself, and the com- plete analysis of the techniques used. Each chapter is essentially self- contained. For example it is not necessary that you understand all the PIO features of Chapter 2 to read Chapter 3. However, sequential read- ing is recommended for a complete understanding. The contents of Chapter 2 introduce all the usual parallel I/O chips used in a 6502 system, from the 6520 to the 6532. Since all existing 6502 boards to date use these standard chips, this chapter should be read by all those who are not familiar with them. 12 INTRODUCTION Chapter Three presents the ‘‘Standard 6502 Board’’, and some well- known variations: KIM, SYM, AIM65 (others exist). Most examples presented in the book will run directly on a SYM, and with simple changes, on a KIM, or other boards. Chapter Four introduces the basic application techniques for con- necting simple devices: relays, switches, speaker. The first applica- tions board will be used for applications ranging from a Morse gen- erator to a telephone dialer. Chapter Five presents more complex home and industrial applica- tions. The second applications board will be used for applications ranging from simulated traffic control and analog-to-digital conver- sion to a complete home burglar alarm or an electronic piano. In Chapter Six actual low-cost peripherals are connected to a micro- computer board: from paper-tape-reader to keyboard and printer. Finally, a summary and synthesis are presented in Chapter Seven. You will also find in Appendix A a complete assembler for the 6502, written in BASIC, to facilitate your development of complex programs requiring an assembler. You will find on the next page a Standard Programming Form de- signed to facilitate writing your 6502 programs. 13 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK COMMENT SYMBOLIC ASSEMBLER INSTRUCTIONS OPERAND PROGRAM STANDARD PROGRAMMING FORM HEXADECIMAL ADDRESS (a) Fig. 1-1: Standard Programming Form 14 copyright © SYBEX 1978 CHAPTER 2 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS INTRODUCTION In this book, we will connect a variety of input-output devices to a 6502 board in order to realize practical microcomputer applications. It is therefore essential to understand the input-output resources of a 6502 system. The reader who is not familiar with the basic terms or with the basic techniques (such as ‘‘polling’’) is encouraged to review them in the previous volume of this series, reference C202 (Program- ming the 6502). In this chapter, we will review systematically the parallel input- Output chips used on nearly every 6502 board to provide the required input-output facilities. It is indispensable to understand at least how a ‘*PIO,”’ such as a 6522 works, before proceeding to the application chapters. The exact details of the timer operation or other exotic resources (such as a shifter) are not essential in a first reading and could be skipped. Also, the exact details and formats of the various registers inside the 6520, 6522, 6530, and 6532 are not important to memorize. They are provided here as a reference for the following chapters. It is therefore suggested that you read carefully at least one of the sections on a PIO such as the 6520 or the 6522, without trying to remember all the details, but focussing on the way they operate. Nearly every application will make use of a PIO, i.e. of one of the chips presented in this section. 15 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK In addition to these chips, most microcomputer boards will provide some other specialized input-output interfaces, such as a cassette in- terface or a CRT interface. The interested reader is referred to the manufacturer’s literature or to the reference book C207 (‘“‘Micro- processor Interfacing Techniques’’) for details on these specific interfaces. BASIC DEFINITIONS This section is a reminder of the terms we will use in this chapter. The three essentiai input-output facilities on nearly every micro- computer board, are the ‘‘PIO,”’ the ‘‘UART,”’’ and the ‘‘timer. Let us examine them: CAI CA2 2] oO '~ > a9] |B8sl |Bo3 DATA BUS <= a 3 a5> are a> PORTA REGISTER \——v? PORTB SELECT (IRQA CB2 RQB CBI Fig. 2-1: Typical PIO The PIO The ‘‘PIO”’’ or ‘‘parallel input-output chip,’’ is a component which provides at least two parallel eight-bit ports. In a PIO, the use of each line of each port is usually programmable in direction. The direc- tion of each line is usually determined by the contents of a ‘‘data- direction register’’ associated with each port. Whenever a specific bit 16 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS of the data direction register is ‘‘0’’, for example, the corresponding line on the port will be an input. Prior to using the PIO, the program- mer will first have to load the contents of the data-direction register of each port, in order to define in which direction the lines will be used. Specific additional constraints may be imposed by manufacturer such as restricting lines to be programmable in direction in groups of four, or else assigning special functions to some bit positions such as bit six and bit seven. Some of these restrictions will be encountered in the chips presented in this chapter. The internal block diagram of the ‘*standard PIO”’ is shown in Fig 2-1. The two buffers for port A and port B appear on the right of the illustration. The data-direction regis- ter associated with each port appears to the left of these buffers. Addi- tionally, two control registers are provided in this simplified diagram. The control register is required to specify the function of the control signals which are provided by this PIO. In particular, it must deter- mine and control the ‘‘hand-shaking’’ procedure, and whether the control signals will trigger flags or interrupts, and also whether a low- to-high transition, or a high-to-low transition, should be used for ex- ample. Typically, the programmer will have to specify the contents of the control register prior to making any use of the control lines sup- plied by the component. Also the programmer will look up the con- tents of the control register to determine whether an internal interrupt or other special condition has been detected (status information). In addition to the two data ports, a PIO should also supply control lines to allow automated hand-shaking with a peripheral. These con- trol lines are shown on the right side of the standard PIO of Fig 2-1, and are labeled respectively CA1, CA2 for port A, and CB1, CB2 for port B. As an example of a hand-shaking procedure, the external peripheral might supply a ‘‘DATA READY’’ signal on CA1. The microproces- sor would then respond with a ‘‘DATA REQUEST”’ signal on CA2. Additionally, when a ‘‘data ready’’ signal is received on CA1, it should be flagged in the control register, and an interrupt request might be generated externally in order to alert the 6502 to this event. This is a typical simple example of the control sequence required for effective hand-shaking. Much of this procedure is automated inside the stan- dard PIO, and the options are defined by the contents of the control register. The specific details will be presented for each of the PIO’s we will describe, beginning on page 20. 17 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The Timer A basic requirement in most practical applications is the ability to generate specific delays. Delays can be measured by software tech- niques or else by hardware timers. As long as no interrupts are used in the system, delays can usually be generated conveniently by software loops (see reference C202 for details). However, in more complex situations, or in situations where interrupts may occur, it is desirable to use one or more external hardware timers to generate or measure fixed delays. Using the Timer on Output In its simplest form, a hardware timer is a counter equipped with a register (8 bits or 16 bits). When used in output mode, the timer’s register is loaded with a given value by the program. It is then given a “*go ahead”’ signal and it starts counting. Most timers will use the system clock, but not necessarily (usually a one MHz clock=one- microsecond pulses). The number placed in the counter’s register will be decremented by one for every successive clock pulse. If the value placed in the register was N, the contents of the counter will have decremented to zero after N pulses, that is after N microseconds, assuming one-microsecond pulses. Whenever the counter decrements to zero, a signal will be generated which will set a status flag in the timer chip and/or generate an external interrupt. Depending on the preci- sion required, the program will either poll timer devices or else accept interrupts. Typical programs will be presented in this chapter. If the timer were equipped with a single 8-bit register, it could count only from one to 256. The maximum delay would only be 256 micro- seconds with a standard clock. This delay is too short for most appli- cations. Naturally, it would be possible to use the interrupt generated at the end of the 256 microseconds to update a memory location, then test whether this memory location had reached a specific value. However, this would result in inaccurate time measurement and a somewhat cumbersome process. Therefore, a timer which is equipped with an 8-bit register would be insufficient. Two techniques are used to overcome this limitation. Conceptually, the simpplest one is to use a 16-bit register for the counter. The counter may then count from 1 to 64K, i.e., from one microsecond to 65,536 micro- seconds or approximately 65 milliseconds. This is indeed sufficient for most applications. However, this technique requires that the timer be 18 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS loaded in at least two operations, since the data-bus is only 8-bit wide. First, the program must load one half of the register, then it must load the other half, an inconvenience. The other technique to generate delays over a wide range is to use internal divide circuits within the timer. Such a timer will then appear to the programmer as a device equipped with perhaps four registers. For example, if the first register is used, then the delay generated will be expressed in clock units (1 microsecond typical). If the second register is used, then the delay unit will be 8 times the clock cycle; in the third one the timing unit will be 64 times the clock cycle, and in the next one the timing will be 1,024 times the clock cycle (or approximately one millisecond, assuming a 1 MHz clock). This approach is somewhat more convenient to the programmer and offers the possibility of load- ing the timer in a single operation, yet using it over a wide range. How- ever, the internal complexity of the device is increased. Using the Timer On Input A timer may be used on input to measure the duration of an exter- nal pulse, or else the time elapsed between two successive pulses. In this case, the initial contents of the timer counter are zero and the counter will increment its internal register with each timing interval. Once the delay has been measured, a flag will be set by the device or else an external interrupt may be generated, and the program will be responsible for reading the contents of the counter register which in- dicate the external event duration. Pulse Trains A timer may be used not only to generate or measure a pulse, but also to generate or count a train of pulses. Whenever a delay is generated or measured for a pulse, the timer mode is usually called a ‘‘one-shot’’ mode. When a train of pulses is generated, it is often called a ‘‘free-running’’ mode. Additionally, a number of options can be pro- vided to specify whether a high-to-low transition or else a low-to-high transition of the signal should be used to activate or stop the timer, or else whether levels should be considered rather than pulses. Addi- tionally, the timing and logical value of interrupt flags can be specified. Further, the conditions under which the internal status is set and reset are usually programmable. Because of the large number of possible variations, each timer device tends to have a strong personal- ity and needs to be studied in detail before being used. 19 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The UART ‘‘UART”’’ stands for ‘‘Universal Asynchronous Receiver Trans- ceiver.’’ The essential function of the UART is to perform serial-to- parallel, and parallel-to-serial conversions. Additionally, the standard UART provides a number of options usually required for serial com- munications with external devices such as parity (checking, inhibition or generation) and start and stop bits. The conversion 1s performed by an internal shifter. Such a shifter may also be incorporated in some input-output chips. Actual 6502 Input-Output Devices Virtually every 6502-based board will require at least 2 PIO’s and one timer. These functions will be typically provided by a combination of 6520 and 6530 chips or by a combination of 6522 and 6532 chips. The 6520 and 6530, which will be described below, are the original input-output chips which were introduced by MOS Technology. The 6502 is now manufactured by several other manufacturers, such as Synertek and Rockwell, and additional support chips have been intro- duced, such as the 6522 and the 6532. Still other support chips will probably be introduced in the future. At this time, however, the most important chips are the 6520, the 6530, the 6522, and the 6532. These four essential input-output chips will be described now. CONTROUA) > C2 — PORTS A baat al —_————» CB? | conmnot <~-_"—"— CB! Fig 2-2: The 6320 PIA 20 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS THE 6520 (PIA) The 6520 is almost a pure ‘‘PIO,’’ as we have defined it. it has been designed as a pin-for-pin replacement for the Motorola M6820, and has been called by the manufacturer a ‘‘peripheral interface adapter’’ or ‘‘PIA.”’ The signals of the 6520 are shown on Fig 2-2. Its internal ar- chitecture is shown in Fig 2-3. Referring to Fig 2-3, it can be seen that this device provides two parallel input-output ports, port A and port B. Each port is equipped with a buffer. However, the two ports are not quite identical, and the buffer really works only as an output buffer, not as an input one. A data-direction register (‘‘DDR’’) is available for each port, and specifies the direction of each line of the port. A value ‘‘0’’ in this DDR specifies an input, and a value ‘‘1’’ specifies an output. The choice of conventions stems from a safety consideration: whenever a ‘‘RESET’”’ is applied, the contents of all registers will be zeroed and Fig 2-3: 6520 Internal Architecture 21 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK the data-direction register will become all zeroes. As a result, all lines will be configured as inputs; this is the safe way to start a system. No external pulse can be generated until the program has started execu- tion. Additionally, each port is equipped with two registers, the control register and the output register. The data sent by the 6502 to the device are gated to the output register (ORA) of the specified port, where they are held. The function of the control register (CRA) will be explained below. It specifies the role of various control options and contains status information for each port. Finally, each port is equipped with two external control lines, la- beled CAI, and CA2 for port A. CAI is a monodirectional line from the device to the 6520. CA2 is a bidirectional line, which may be used either as an input or an output. The two ports are logically equivalent and symmetrical, as indicated on Fig 2-3. However, practical differences exist. In particular, the drive capability of port B is superior to port A, and the role of the con- trol signals is not completely symmetrical. Looking now at the left of Fig 2-3, or at Fig 2-2, the data bus con- nects the internal buffer of the 6520 to the system data bus. Two in- terrupt requests may be generated by the device, if so specified by the contents of the control registers for port A and B; they are respectively IRQA and IRQB. Finally, three chip-select inputs must be specified for the device, and are labeled CS1, CS2, and CS3. This design was used by Motorola in order to allow the convenient direct connection of up to 8 separate devices to the data bus, without the necessity of an external address decoder. In practice, the high number of chip-select inputs On the chip may have resulted in a disadvantage which will be pointed out below (one register-select missing). Two register-select in- puts are provided, and connected to the address bus. They are labeled RSO and RS1. This means that the 6520 device appears to the pro- grammer as four memory locations. This may seem surprising since we have just determined (see Fig 2-3) that there are four registers per port, i.e. a total of eight registers. How can one address 8 registers with only 4 addresses? This is a problem brought about by the pin number limitation of the device. One bit of the control-register, bit 2, is used to multiplex between the two sets of registers. When bit 2 of the con- trol register is equal to ‘‘0,”’ the data-direction for that port is selected. When it is ‘‘1,”’ the peripheral-interface buffer is selected. Finally, three more control lines are available: ‘‘R/W’’ (read or write), ‘‘enable’’ (usually phase two of the clock), and finally ‘‘reset.’’ 22 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS input passive pull-up resistor 1.6mAsink = 1 TIL lood resistor pull-up 1 TTL load Fig. 2-4: Buffer A + 5V +5V output “1” may not be> 2.4V input current drive: no pull-up. ImA sink at 1.5V high-Z input. *output is high impedance when lines are “input’’ Fig. 2-5: Buffer B Differences between Port A and Port B Port A and port B, even though they are logically equivalent, are physically dissimilar. The buffers of port A use passive pull-ups. They can sink 1.6 mA, making the buffers capable of driving a standard 23 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK TTL load. On port B, the buffers are push-pull devices (see Fig 2-4 and 2-5). Since they are active devices, the logic ‘‘1”’ voltage may not be higher than 2.4 volts (versus Vpp in the case of port A). However they have a superior current drive (ImA at 1.5v), so that they can be directly connected to LED’s, or to Darlington transistor switches. Finally, when port B is used as input, the output buffer enters a high- impedance mode, so that the input will have a high impedance (more than one Megohm). The details of the port A buffer are shown on Fig 2-4, and the details of the port B buffer are shown on Fig 2-5. Fig. 2-6: 6520 Memory Map The Internal Registers Let us consider now in more detail the specific resources and peculiarities of the 6520. First, as we have already noted, the 6520 is equipped with 6 internal registers: the two buffers (which share the address of the output register), the two data direction registers, and the two control registers. However, because of the pin number limita- tion, only two register-select pins are available on the device, called respectively RSO and RS1. The resulting 6520 memory map is shown on Fig 2-6. It shows that registers DDRA and IORA for example, share the same logical memory address. The control-register is addressed independently. The 6520 differentiates internally between the DDRA and the IORA by the value of bit 2 of the control register. The register selection is presented on Fig 2-7. Whenever bit 2 of the control register is ‘‘0,’’ the DDR is selected. Whenever it is ‘‘1,’’ the IO register or buffer-register, is selected. The control register is the on- ly register which can be addressed directly by RSO and RSI since it is 24 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS logically necessary to specify the contents of this control register prior to accessing the other registers. Fig. 2-7: 6520 Register Selection BUFFER A DDRA CRA BUFFER B DORB CRB This scheme implies that the initialization of this device is somewhat more complex than it should be, and that, if the program should need to access successively the DDRA and the IORA, additional instruc- tions must be inserted to modify the contents of bit 2 of the CRA every time. This is indeed inconvenient. The Control Register The contents of the control register are shown on Fig 2-8. It has al- ready been pointed out that bit 2 of this register performs a special function: it differentiates between the DDR and the IOR register for that port. The other bits within the register provide control options for the two control lines available on each port, and 2 bits are reserved for status or interrupt information. The control register A functions are controlled by bits 3, 4, and 5 and are shown on Fig 2-9. 7 6 5 4 3 2 ] 0 CA/B2 control |JDDRA/B CA/BI select contro] Fig. 2-8: 6520 Control Registers 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Handshake on read a 2 - eCAI interrupt input transi- tion sets CA2 high. ®Read Port A instruction sets CA2 low. ®Read Port A data sets CA2 low for one cycle (= acknowledge to device).

Fig. 2-10: 6520 CB2 Control The functions of the two control lines of port B are controlled by bits 3, 4, and 5 of its control register and shown on Fig 2-10. Bits 0 and 1 provide interrupt control for the CAl and CB1 inputs. They are shown on Fig 2-11. 26 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS = ae ACTIVE TRANSITION IRQ OUTPUT OF INPUT SIGNAL disable (high) enable (will go low when CRA bit 7 set by CA1/CBI1 transition) disable (high) enable (as above) negative negative positive positive Fig 2-11: interrupt Control (CA1, CB1 Inputs) Using the 6520 After a ‘‘RESET”’ has been applied, the contents of all the registers will be zero. The 6520 must, therefore, first be initialized to specify the input and output configurations on both its ports. The control op- tions of the control register must also be specified and the 6520 should normally be left with a ‘‘1’’ in bit position 2 of the control register, so that the IOR register can be accessed directly by the 6502. A typical sequence is: LDA #$0F *00001111’? = 4 INPUTS, 4 OUTPUTS STA DDRA CONFIGURE DIRECTION LDA #CONTROL CONTROL OPTIONS: BIT 2=1 TO ADDRESS IORA STA CRA Input-Output Sending data out on port A would be accomplished by the following two instructions (assuming CRA-bit 2 =‘‘1’’): LDA #DATA OR ELSE LDA $20.(FROM MEMORY) STA IORA 27 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Reading an input connected to the 6520 is accomplished by: LDA IORA | STA $20 SAVE IT IN MEMORY We are saving here the contents of the accumulator immediately in memory location 20 (hexadecimal). However, this line is not indispen- sable. In many cases, we will simply read the contents of IORA in the accumulator and then perhaps check their value but not necessarily store them. 6520 Warnings In addition to the dissimilarities between port A and port B, some specific features of the control functions should be remembered. In particular, bits 6 and 7 are cleared on A or B if 6 is input and if read- ing. Also, to clear bit 7, one reads port B data. The CB2 handshake, unlike the CA2 handshake, is for writing B data (CA2 operates for read or write). Finally, bit 6 or 7 may cause an interrupt. Polling the 6520’s The simplest way to poll several 6520’s is to check the status of bits 6 and 7 of the control register. When both bits 6 and 7 are ‘‘0,’’ the de- vice does not require any service. If either bit is ‘‘1,’’ an internal inter- rupt has been generated, and service is required. Technique I In order to identify quickly which one of four devices has requested service, a sequential table access technique may be used, provided the addresses of the 4 devices are sequential in the memory. Address n will be allocated to CRAI, address n + 1 to CRBI, address n + 2 to CRA2, address n + 3 to CRB3, etc. The program can then make use of the indexed indirect addressing feature and is shown below: START LDX 4#8 INDEX NEXT LDA (BASE-1,X) ACCESS NEXT CR BMI SERVICE IRQON?

The accumulator is loaded with the contents of the last enrty in the table first: LDA (BASE-1, X) If bit 7 was set (bit 7 is the sign bit or ‘‘N”’ flag), a branch will occur to the service routine: BMI SERVICE If the N flag was not set, X is decremented, and the next CR is checked: DEX BEQ START RESTART IF X=0 BNE NEXT GOON IF X IS NOT 0 Improvement: would switching the last two instructions speed up the program? Technique 2 Within each CRA, two status bits must be checked: bits 6 and 7. The ‘‘BIT”’ instruction of the 6502 has been created for this specific purpose. It is a nondestructive comparison which will check the con- tents of bits 6 and 7. The program for polling the 6520’s appears on Fig 2-13. | BIT CRA 29 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK BMI IRQA7 BVC NOTAI IRQA6 A2 IRQ FOUND (Bit 6) IRQA7 Al IRQ FOUND (BIT 7) NOTA BIT CRB SAME FOR PORTB BMI IRQB7 BVC NEXT2 IRQB6 B2 IRQ FOUND (BIT 6) IRQB7 B1 IRQ FOUND (BIT 7) NEXT 2 BIT NEXT 6520 Fig. 2-13: identifying the Ports The ‘‘BIT’’ instruction is used to test whether either bits 6 or 7 are a **1’’, This is performed by: BIT CRA We must then test whether bit 6 or 7 was set to ‘“‘1.’’ The BIT instruction sets V flag and the N flag, so that these two flags can now be tested; BMI IRQA7 BIT7 = 1 | BVC NOTAI NO INTERRUPT FOUND If none of the flags were set, a branch will occur to NOT Al, where the CRB will be checked. Bit 7 is tested with the BMI instruction. If bit 7 was one, the sign bit N will have been set, and the routine at address IRQA7 will be executed. Otherwise, bit 6 was the bit that was set and the routine at address IRQA6, following the BMI, will be executed. This sequence can be executed for any number of 6520’s. Note that this procedure gives higher priority to A7 than A6. 30 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS Fig 2-14: 6522 Internal Architecture THE 6522 The 6522, introduced by MOS Technology, and also manufactured by Rockwell International and Synertek, is the successor device to the 6520. The 6522 chip, called the VIA (Versatile Interface Adapter), is a P1O-timer-shifter combination. It is equipped internally with 16 regis- ters which are shown on Fig 2-14. The corresponding memory map is on Fig 2-15. Four sets of registers can be distinguished as to their function: 1. The PIO registers (addresses 0 through 3, plus address F). 2. The timer registers (two timers, addresses 4 through 9. 3. The shift register (address A). 4. The control registers (addresses B through E). These four sets will now be examined in detail to explain the capa- bilities of the 6522. 31 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK 32 Ce _e = a 1/0 data, portA used for control-affects handshake data direction registers counter-low counter-high timer } latch-low lateh-high latch-low counter-low timer 2 counter-high shift register auxiliary function . control peripheral fla . 9s interrupt enable control output register A (does not affect handshoke) — ae ee oe om = em oe ie wm = oe oe 00 Qi + hondahok : PARALLEL 32 70 a O« TULL(W)ZTIC-U(R) + clear TI int Flag (®) = al OY) | TV i Fag (R) TUAER T! 08 ” + laos n Bog) 08 TAAWYT2CA(R) | tcleor T2IntFlog(W) ) ] = Pe + cleorT2intFlog(W) 7 GA SHIFT 08 oc a8 CONTROL 3 oF nohondshoke | AID Fig. 2-16: 6522 Registers THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS The PIO Section The PIO Section provides two 8-bit bidirectional ports. Each port is equipped with an input/output register. They are called respectively ORA and ORB for port A and port B. They are shown on Fig 2-14. Each register is associated with a direction register, respectively DDRA AND DDRB. Whenever the corresponding bit of the data direction register is set to ‘‘1’’ the line connected to the OR will be an output. Whenever the data direction bit is ‘‘0’’, the corresponding line will be an input. The polarity has been chosen so that all lines are iniput when a ‘‘reset’’ is applied. There is an asymmetry in this PIO: Port A is equipped with two OR registers, with and without the handshake feature. Using the PIO Before using the PIO as input or output, the data-direction registers must be loaded with the proper value to configure the corresponding bits of the I/0 registers as input or output. As an example, let us con- figure here Port A as an output and Port B as an input. ’e 3 = gS\° SE si ie ‘e jz RSO 8S!

LDA ORB Whenever using the OR registers, it is usually necessary to check a status signal to make sure that the device being spoken to is ready to listen or to transmit. This is call handshaking. The operation of the control signals required to implement it will be explained now. The Two Control Signals (Peripheral Control Register) Each port is equipped with two control lines, named CA1, CA2, and CB1, CB2 (see Fig 2-14, on the right side). For example, before sesnding data to a printer device, such as a Teletype, the micro- processor must ascertain that the printer is not busy, and is ready to accept the next character. This will be accomplished by a hand- shaking procedure. Whenever the printer is no longer busy, it is ready to accept the next character, and it will send a pulse or a level transition to the 6522. This level transition, or pulse, must be detected and latched by the device, then tested by the program. The signal will be transmitted to one of the two control inputs, CAI or CB1. The 6522 allows great flexibility in specifying the nature of the signal coming in or out. It is possible to specify whether a high-to-low ( or ‘‘negative’’) tran- sition (a falling edge) or a /ow-to-high (or ‘‘positive’’) transition (a rising. edge) will trigger the internal interrupt flag. This is specified by bit 0 (for CA1) and bit 4 (for CB1) of the peripheral control register (PCR). ‘‘0”’ corresponds to the high-to-low transition, and ‘‘1’’ corresponds to the low-to-high transition (see Fig 2-21). 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 CB2 CBI CA2 CAI control control control control Fig. 2-21: Peripheral Controi Register 36 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS 7. 6 5 4 3 2 ] 0 IRQ(R Fig. 2-22: Interrupt Flag Enable Register (IFR/IER) CRBIT | ACTIVE TRANSITION IRQ OUTPUT 1 0 OF INPUT SIGNAL disable (high) enable (will go low when CRA bit 7 set by CA1/CBI transition) disable (high) enable (as above) negative negative positive positive Fig. 2-23: Control Lines Function (ACR) Once the nature of the signal has been specified, it becomes possible to test it. Checking status: It is possible to detect whether a transition has oc- curred by testing the contents of bits 1 or 4 (for CAl and CBI respec- tively) of the interrupt-flag register (IFR) (see Fig 2-22). This bit will be ‘*0”’ as long as no signal has been received, and will become ‘‘I’’ once the appropriate transition has been detected. After reading a ‘‘1’’ status, it must be possible to reset it so that one can move on to the detec- tion of the next event. This will be accomplished either by writing a ‘‘1”’ into the appropriate bit position of the register, or else by reading, or writing, the corresponding input/output data register. 37 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK CA2 Negative Edge Interrupt (IFRO/ORA Clear) Mode—Set CA2 interrupt flag (IFRO) on a negative transition of the input signal.

DDRA ORA Fig. 2-26: Reading Data When Ready A Simple Input Example Let us specify a low-to-high ‘‘ready’’ transition from the peripheral, and an input configuration on Port A (see Fig 2-26).

PB PA SHIFT REGISTER =| varcH LATCH CONTROL ENABLE ENABLE Fig. 2-27; 6522 - Auxiliary Control Register Latching the Input/Output The input and output of the 6522 are not symmetrical. Outputs are always latched. This is why the input/output register is called OR (out- put register). Inputs are not necessarily latched. This is specified by bits *“0”’ and ‘‘1”’ (respectively port A and port B) of the auxiliary control register (ACR). Whenever these bits are ‘‘0,’’ no latching oc- curs on input. Whenever these bits are set to ‘‘1,’’ the inputs are latched (see Fig 2-27). When an input is not latched, the program is actually reading the value of the input lines connected to the port it is reading. When the inputs are latched, the latch is enabled by the active transi- tion of CAl or CB1, depending on the port used. The value is then preserved in the latch register until the next pulse is received on the control line. Danger: on output, the program reads the latch controls, which may or may not be the same as the contents of OR. Sending a Control Signal Out CA2 or CB2 are used to provide a control strobe (see Fig 2-14). 40 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS Since these lines are bidirectional, they must be configured for output by setting the peripheral control register bit 3 or 7 respectively (for A2 or B2) (see Fig 2-24). The nature of the signal can be specified to be either a level or a pulse. ‘‘0’’ in bits 2 or 6 respectively (for A or B) corresponds to a pulse. ‘‘1’’ corresponds to a /evel. Whenever a level is specified, it is possible to specify either a positive value or a negative value. This is accomplished by setting or clearing bits 1 and 5 respectively (for A2 and B2) (see Fig 2-24). Finally, when a pulse is generated, its duration can be controlled with bits 1 and 5 (respectively for A2 and B2) of the control register. Whenever the bit is set to ‘‘0,”’ a single cycle strobe will be generated. Whenever this bit is set to ‘‘1,’’ an output pulse will be generated, which will remain low from the time the OR register is accessed (read or write) until the next signal transition on CAI or CBI. Summary of Control Output A pulse of virtually any duration and polarity can be specified. It can be used to poll an external device (interrogate it), to acknowledge a data transfer, to move on to another device connected to the same line, or to control the state of the device (on, off, or other option). A summary of the peripheral control register bits is shown on Fig 2-21, and the details are shown on Fig 2-24 and 2-25. 4 3 2 | 0 povfor a foo Fig. 2-28: Interrupt Registers 7 6 5 set clear control IER . Interrupts Interrupts are controlled by two registers, the interrupt enable reg- ister (IER), and the interrupt flag register (IFR). The registers are 41 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK shown on Fig 2-28. They share the same memory address. One is an input register, the other an output register. The interrupt flag register IFR is an input register. Each bit position from Oto will be set whenever an interrupt is detected on any of the external lines (CAl, CA2, CB1, CB2), on the shift register (SR), on any of the two timers (T1 and T2). Bit 7 is set whenever any other bit is set in the register. The interrupt enable register (IER) will enable or disable interrupts from any of the sources. The bit positions in IER match the ones of IFR (see Fig 2-28). Whenever a bit position is ‘‘0,’’ the corresponding interrupt is disabled and will not be sent. Whenever it is ‘‘1,’’ it is en- abled, and if an interrupt occurs, it will be recorded. It becomes then possible for the program to read the contents of the IFR register and test any relevant bit to determine whether an interrupt has occurred. In order to set or clear conveniently any of the IER bits, bit position 7 of IER is used in conjunction with a read or write signal and the con- tents of the data. bus are then copied into the IER register. If IER bit 7 is ‘‘0”’, each ‘‘1”’ will clear an enable flag. If bit 7 is ‘‘1°’, each ‘‘1”’ written into IER will set an enable. Example: Let us enable CAI and CA2 interrupts, and disable all others (see Fig 2-28): LDA #$7C “01111100” = CLEAR BITS 2 TO 6 STA IER LDA #$83 **10000011’’ = ENABLE BITS 0 AND 1 STA IER Exercise 2-1; Write a program-to enable CBI interrupts, and disable others. Exercise 2-2: Disable CBI and CB2, leaving others unchanged. Identifying the Interrupt Whenever several interrupts can occur simultaneously, i.e., when- ever several bits of the IFR are used, the program will have to check the contents of IFR and determine which interrupt has occurred. The order in which it checks these bits will determine the priority of the 42 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS corresponding interrupt. For example, if an interrupt from T1 has highest priority, then this is the bit which should be checked first. The simplest way to check the contents of IFR is to shift its contents right or left by one position and check the value of the bit which falls off (into the Carry bit) by testing the carry bit. This technique assigns pri- orities in a right-to-left or left-to-right manner to the signals of Fig 2-28. Exercise 2-3: Look at Fig 2-28. List the devices in order of effective priority, assuming that the contents of IFR are shifted left by the poll- ing program. Naturally it is also possible to check for combinations of interrupts by checking the values of specific bits in the IFR register. For more details on interrupts and polling, refer to Chapter 3 of ref. C202. The Timers The 6522 is equipped with two interval timers. These timers can be used as inputs or as outputs. When used as an output, a timer may generate either an output sig- nal or a train of pulses. When used as an input, a timer will measure the duration of a pulse, or else will count the number of pulses received. When generating or reading a pulse of set duration, the timer is said to be in ‘‘one-shot’’ mode. Either timer 1 or timer 2 of the 6522 can be used in this manner. When used to generate or to count a continuous train of pulses, the timer is said to be in a ‘‘free-running mode.’’ Only timer 1 may be used in this manner. Prior to using any timer in output mode, its counter register must be loaded with a value: when generating pulses, the counter will either contain the number of clock pulses to be generated, or the duration of the pulse. When using the timer on input, its register must be cleared. When counting pulses, it will contain the number of pulses so far. When sensing a pulse, it will contain its duration. Timer I versus Timer 2 Timer 2 may be used on input to count pulses applied to PB6 of IORB (see Fig 2-14). When used on output, it can only generate a 43 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK pulse of set duration on PB6. It cannot generate a train of pulses. Either one of these two modes is selected by bit 5 of the auxiliary con- tro] register (ACR) (See Fig 2-27). ‘‘0’’ corresponds to the one-shot mode, and ‘‘1’’ to the pulse-counting mode. QO ONE-.SHOT MOOE 1 FREE RUNNING MOE O OUTPUT TO PB? DISABLED 1: OUTPUT TO PB? ENABLED Fig 2-29: 6522: Auxiliary Control Register Controls T1 Modes Timer | is different from Timer 2 and offers additional possibilities. It has four operating modes which are shown on Fig 2-29. It can be used either in one-shot mode or in free-running mode. Additionally, it may either enable or disable an output on PB7. The mode is specified by bit 6 of the auxiliary control register. It is ‘‘0’’ for one-shot opera- tion and ‘‘1’’ for free-running mode. Bit 7 specifies whether PB7 is enabled or disabled. When ‘‘0,’’ PB7 is disables, when ‘‘1,’’ PB7 is enabled (see Fig 2-30). ACR7 ACR 6 OUTPUT | FREE RUN ENABLE | ENABLE = one-shot and programmable width pulse. Generate INT and output pulse on PB7 everytime T1 is loaded. Fig. 2-30: 6522 - Auxiliary Control Register Selects Timer 1 Operating Modes 4d THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS Loading the Counters Each timer uses a 16-bit counter. The low part must be loaded first and the high part must be loaded next. Loading the high part of the counter automatically clears the timer interrupt flag and starts the timer running. Timer 1 is also equipped with a true 16-bit latch, while Timer 2 is not. This enables Timer 1 to operate continuously, in ‘‘free- running’’ mode; the latch is automatically transferred to the counter when the counter reaches zero. For Timer 1, the values of the latches may be read or written without affecting the counters. This is used to generate waveforms of arbitrary complexity. The details of timer addressing are shown on Fig 2-31.

Note that the real duration is the value of the count (‘‘N’’) plus 2, or the value of the count plus 1.5. In order to obtain a more exact timing, the user should therefore load in the counter register the desired number of periods minus 2. 45 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK N15 NN + 1S eycles ———a}a N+ 2 cycles————_-+4 Fig. 2-32: Timer 1 in Free Running Mode The Shift Register The shift register is provided for serial-to-parallel or parallel-to- serial conversion. The shifting speed can. be controlled by three time sources: Timer 2, Phase 2 of the clock (®2), and an external clock. The external timing source is specified by bits 2 and 3 of the auxiliary con- trol register (see Fig 2-27). Bit 4 of the auxiliary control register speci- fies input or output. The complete table showing the function of these bits appears on Fig 2-33. Mode Shift register disabled. Shift in under control of Timer 2.

Fig. 2-33 Shift Register Control On output, the user will load the shift register. This will automati- cally start the timing and shifting process. Whenever 8. bits will have been shifted out of the register, the interrupt flag (bit 2 of the interrupt flag register) will be set automatically. It can then be tested by the program. 46 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS On input, the shift register must be initialized to some value such as ‘*Q’’ in order to start the timing process. It will then start capturing bits at the frequency: of the specified timing source, such as timer 2, phase 2 of the clock, or an external clock, as specified by bits 2, 3, 4 of the ACR. Whenever 8 bits have been accumulated, the corresponding interrupt flag of IFR will be triggered. The program will deposit a value such as ‘‘0”’ in the SR, then test continuously the value of IFR bit 2. Whenever an interrupt is detected, the shift is complete. The shift register should then be disabled by zeroing bits 2, 3, 4 of ACR, while the program is storing data away. Naturally if data is coming in continuously, the shift register will not be disabled and the program should ‘‘come back’’ quickly enough not to lose data. PROGRAMMING THE 6522 The 6522 is a combination PIO, timer, and shifter. The basic input- output operations on the PIO are performed essentially as on the 6520, except that the registers may be selected directly and that one does not need to switch bit 2 of the control register to differentiate be- tween them. This leads to simpler and shorter programming. How- ever, the control facilities provided by the 6522 are extensive, and quite different from those of the 6520. Let us therefore examine first some examples of basic input-output, then some examples of the con- trol options. Basic Input Input is accomplished by loading all zeroes in the data direction reg- ister of the port which is to act as input, then reading the contents of the OR. In this simple program, we will, in addition, store the data, which has just been read, into memory location 20. The program ap- pears below: INPUT LDA _ #0 STA DDRA_ PORTA IS INPUT LDA ORA READ DATA (IF VALID) STA $20 SAVE THEM IN MEMORY 47 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK eileen [ewe ecore] common 0 0 0 0 controls handshake latch counter TIL-L into TIC-L latch counter triggers T2L-L into T2C-L 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 0 ] | I l | | } l ] ~a~=~oo-,--oaoocoo,--0c0@m,-—-0O0 90 anwar 0290 0007" —-—-"—]—"" 00000 no effect on handshakes Fig. 2-34: 6322 Register Selection is Direct Basic Output Output is performed in exactly the same way as input; the data direction register for port B will be loaded for all ones, thus specifying all outputs. The data to be sent to port B is assumed to reside at mem- ory location 20 so that it will be first loaded into the accumulator, then transferred to the ORB. The reader will remember that there is no in- struction in the 6502 which allows transferring directly from memory location 20 to ORB. An extra instruction is therefore required to transfer first the data from memory into the accumulator, and then from the accumulator to ORB. The program appears below: OUTPUT LDA _ 4#$FF STA DDRB_ B= OUTPUT LDA $20 GET DATA FROM MEMORY STA ORB OUTPUT IT THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS Using the Control Options We will configure here port A as all inputs. It will be assumed that the peripheral or device connected to port A will send the ‘‘data ready’’ strobe on line CA1. The strobe will be active during its low-to- high transition. The 6522 will have to detect this ‘‘data ready’’ strobe transition, and the program will poll the 6522 to determine whether any data has been received. If data has been received, it will read it and store it at location 20 in memory. The program has already been developed (see ‘‘Basic Input’’ page 39) and appears again below: READYIN LDA 40 A = INPUT STA DDRA LDA #1 CAl INT LO TO H? STA PCR TEST LDA IFR TEST BIT 1 AND #$2 00000010 BINARY BEQ TEST = 17 LDA ORA READ DATA STA $20 SAVE IN MEMORY As usual, the data direction register is set to all zeroes to configure ORA as inputs: LDA #0 STA DDRA The control register PCR will now be conditioned so that an internal interrupt is generated whenever a low-to-high transition occurs: LDA _ #1 STA PCR The two instructions above load the binary value 00000001 into PCR. Referring to Fig 2-23, the reader should verify that this is indeed the correct value. Bit zero of the peripheral control register PCR specifies which active transition of the input signal will be recognized. Since we want the CAI interrupt flag to be set by a positive transition (low-to- high), PCRO must be set to the value 1. Bits 6 and 7 of the ACR relate to the timer 1 operating mode. Since the timer is not being used, their contents are irrelevant here. Bits 2, 3, 49 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK and 4 of ACR specify the operation of the shift register. Since the shift register is not used here, they should be zero, as specified on Fig 2-33. Bit 5 of the ACR is T2 control, and therefore unused here. Bit 1 is the PB latch enable, and is unused here. Bit zero is the port A latch en- able. When specified (by writing a ‘‘1’’), data present on the A input will be latched whenever the CAI interrupt flag is set. This would be accomplished by: LDA_ #1 STA ACR Since we assume here that polling is used, instead of a hardware in- terrupt, the program will be responsible for reading the contents of the interrupt flag and determining whether an interrupt has occurred. The contents of the interrupt flag register are shown in Fig 2-28. Bit position 1 of the IFR needs to be tested in order to determine whether the CAI ‘‘data ready’’ signal has been received. This is performed by the fol- lowing three instructions: TEST LDA IFR AND #$2 BEQ TEST The AND instruction masks out all bits except bit position 1 so that it can be tested. As long as bit 1 is zero, this program will remain in this polling loop. Once the ‘‘data ready’’ signal has been recognized, data can be read from the ORA and transferred to their final memory location, which we will assume to be, as usual, memory location 20: LDA ORA STA $20 Reading the contents of ORA into the accumulator will also automati- cally clear bit 1 of IFR (the CAI status indicator), so that the internal interrupt will be automatically reset. It is important to remember that interrupt flags must explicitly be cleared every time they are used. The 6522 is organized in such a way: that the ‘“‘normal’’ operation, such as reading the contents of ORA after detecting an interrupt, will take care of it automatically. How- ever, the reader should be alert to the fact that if he should use ‘‘non- standard programming,’’ errors might occur as the interrupt flag might remain continuously on. A technique which may be used in such a case is to write back the contents of IFR after reading it: 50 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS STA IFR This ‘‘programming trick’’ will reset only the bit which had been set to ‘*1,”’ thus effectively clearing the bit without modifying any other (unless more than one bit was ‘‘1”’). A Handshake Protocol on Input We will assume here that the complete handshake sequence is used: first the program is responsible for sending a ‘‘start’’ pulse (active high) to the device. Later, the device will respond with a ‘‘data ready’’ strobe (active high-to-low here), and the program will be responsible for determining that the signal has been received, then transferring the data into memory location 20. The program appears below: NSHAKE LDA _ #0 STA DDRA_ AIS INPUT STA ACR LDA #$0C BITS 2 AND 3 ON STA PCR CLEAR START PULSE LDA #$0E BITS 1, 2, 3 ON STA PCR GENERATE START ON CA2 LDA #$0C STA PCR CLEAR IT WAIT LDA _IFR INTERRUPT? AND #$02. (START PULSE?) BEQ WAIT POLLING LOOP LDA ORA DATA READY STA $20 SAVE IN MEMORY Let us examine the program. As usual, port A is conditioned as input by storing zeroes in the DDRA: LDA #0 STA DDRA ZERO DDRA STA ACR We will assume here that no latching is necessary on input (see previ- ous program if you wish to latch data on input). The PCR register must now be conditioned so that a start pulse will be generated, active high. The level of CA2 (the line which we will use to provide the start signal CAI] can only be used as input) will first be set low, then high, to guarantee a low-to-high transition. Conditioning the CA2 output 31 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK low is accomplished by loading the value ‘‘110”’ respectively in bits 3, 2, and 1 of PCR (see Fig 2-24). This is accomplished by the following instructions: LDA #$0C 00001100 STA PCR Next, the level on the CA2 output must be specified as high. This is ac- complished by loading the value ‘‘111’’ in bits 3, 2, | of PCR: LDA #$0E. 00001110 STA PCR We will assume here that a brief pulse is sufficient to provide the ‘*start’’ signal. Some devices might require that this pulse be of a long- er duration. In such a case, a delay would have to be added at this point to guarantee that the pulse remains high for a specific duration of time. Here, we will simply turn the signal off again: LDA #0C 00001100 STA PCR At this point, we proceed, as in the previous program, by polling bit one of the IFR to detect whether the CA] has been set to one: WAIT LDA IFR AND #$02 00000010 BEQ WAIT Then, as above, the data is read from ORA and stored in memory location 20: LDA ORA STA $20 Fig. 2-33: Connecting Multiple 6522's - Generating an IRQ 52 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS Using Multiple 6522’s In the case in which multiple 6522’s are used, their interrupt request output IRQ is usually connected to the IRQ line as shown in Fig 2-35. However, once an IRQ is received by the 6502, the program must determine which 6522 originated it. A polling loop is generally used. This polling loop will interrogate in turn each IFR of the devices to determine which one has generated an interrupt. This information is readily available in bit 7 of the interrupt flag register, as shown in Fig 2-22. The reader will recall that bit 7 is universally used as a preferred position for polling, since once the contents of the register under test are loaded into the accumulator, the contents of bit 7 will condition the sign bit of the microprocessor flags register (bit N). The next in- struction in the program may readily test bit N and determine whether it was ‘‘0”’ or ‘1.’ This is exactly what the polling program does here. A typical polling program appears below: LDA IFRI BPL NEXTI INTFOUNDI1 (IDENTIFY 1 OF 7 CAUSES) NEXT1 LDA _IFR2 BPL NEXT2 The program loads the contents of the IFR of the first 6522 and tests whether it is positive. If it is positive, no interrupt has been generated by the device and the program tests the next one, and so on. However, if the device is found to have generated an interrupt, a specific routine must then determine what to do next. Let us examine it. Identifying One of 7 Possible Internal Interrupts for the 6522 Referring to Fig 2-22, it can be seen that seven possible conditions may set an internal interrupt in the IFR register of the 6522: T1, T2, CBI, CB2, SR, CAl, CA2. If all of the internal resources of the 6522 are used simultaneously, as is often the case, then all possibilities should be checked. A simple program which will identify one out of 7 inter- rupts appears below: 33 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK ONEOF7 ASL A BMI TIMERI ASL A BMI TIMER2 ASL A The program checks successively bit 6, bit 5, bit 4, etc., by simply shifting the contents of the accumulator left by one bit position every time. It should be noted that the order in which the shifts occur estab- lish a priority of the interrupts within the device. Using the program as shown above, Timer 1| will have the highest priority, then Timer 2, etc. The user might want to assign different priorities to the interrupts by testing the bits in a different order. Generating Delays with a Timer The reader should study the details of the timers in the manufac- turer’s data sheets before using them. Timer 2 is simpler than Timer 1. Both timers are not identical, and it is important to understand their specific characteristics before using them. Since a complete study of the timer operating modes is not necessary for the purposes of this book, we will show here two typical examples of the generation of de- lays, using respectively Timer 2 and Timer 1. Other examples will be presented in the applications chapters. Generating a One-Shot Delay with Timer 2 The program appears below: ONESHOT2 LDA _ #0 STA ACR SELECT MODE STA T2LL LOW-LATCH=0 LDA #$01 DELAY DURATION STA T2CH HIGH PART=01HEX. START LDA #$20 MASK LOOP BIT IFR TIME OUT? BEQ LOOP LDA T2CL CLEAR TIMER 2 INTERRUPT Bits 6 and 7 of the ACR must be set to zero to specify the one-shot 54 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS mode (PB7 not used with T2). Since we assume here that none of the other resources such as the shift register are being used, we simply load all zeroes into the ACR register: LDA #0 STA ACR Timer 2, like Timer 1, contains a 16-bit OR so that the two halves of the register must be loaded separately. We will first load the low half, then the high half: STA T2LL LDA #$01 STA T2CH Loading the value $01 into T2C-H also results in clearing any inter- rupt flag and starting the counter automatically. Fig 2-28 shows that bit 5 of the IFR is the one indicating that Timer 2 has timed out. Bit 5 of the IFR therefore must be tested for the value ‘*1,”? This is accomplished by the next three instructions: LDA #$20 BIT 5=1 LOOP BIT IFR BEQ LOOP The value 20 hexadecimal is equal to ‘‘00100000.’’ It is used to test whether bit 5 is indeed a‘‘1.’’ The BIT instruction performs a logical AND, without modifying the contents of the accumulator. As long as bit 5 remains ‘‘0,’’ the program loops, waiting for the Timer 2 inter- rupt. Whenever Timer 2 generates the interrupt, it is detected, and the program exits the loop. Finally, the program must explicitly clear the Timer 2 interrupt be- fore branching to another task. This could be accomplished by reload- ing a new value into the counter register. However, since this program should be useful in any environment, we make no assumption as to what will be done after this program terminates. The interrupt flag will be cleared either by writing into T2C-H or by reading T2C-L. Since we do not want to start the counter running again, we will not write in T2C-H, but instead read T2C-L, simply to clear the interrupt: LDA T2CL 35 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Generating a One-Shot Delay with Timer 1 We will use Timer | here in a manner essentially analogous to Timer: 2 above. However, Timer | is equipped with a true 16-bit latch regis- ter, unlike Timer 2. Ther program appears below: ONESHOT1 LDA _ #0 STA ACR 1-SHOT MODE - NO PB7 PULSES STA TILL LOW LATCH LDA #$01 DELAY STA TICH LOADS ALSO T1ICL AND STARTS LDA #$20 LOOP BIT IFR TIMEOUT? BEQ LOOP LDA TILL CLEAR INT FLAG The program is essentially analogous to the one above, and should be self explanatory. The only difference is that the low latch is loaded first, then the program writes into T1C-H, the high part of the counter proper. This instruction also results in transferring the contents of T1L-L into T1C-L (see Fig 2-34 showing the 6522 internal registers) and starts the counter. The rest of the program is identical. Generating a Pulse The above programs will generate a delay for a program. If an ac- tual pulse must be generated, then the proper output pin must be spe- cified. For Timer 1, the PB7 pin will be used to provide the output pulse PB7 will be an output if either DDRB7 or ACR7 equals ‘‘1.”’ Timer 2 does not send a direct pulse on a pin for output. The pulse must be generated by adding instructions which explicitly turn on and off one of the bits of the port. However, Timer 2 may count pulses easily in its pulse-counting mode. Pin PB6 is then used for this pur- pose. This underlines again the practical differences between these timers. In any practical application, the reader is encouraged to review the manufacturer’s data sheets to take best advantage of them. THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS Shifting in and out The shift register SR is connected to pin CB2 of the 6522. All pulses will be generated or sensed on this specific pin. The combination of bits 2, 3, and 4 of the ACR determines the way in which the shifter operates. The 8 combinations are shown on Fig 2-33 above. In our examples so far, the contents of bits 2, 3, 4 of the ACR have always been zero, so that the shifter register was disabled. The shifter will shift in or shift out under control of one of three possible timing sources: Timer 2, Phase 2 of the clock, or an external clock. In addi- tion, it provides a special mode with a free running output at the rate determined by Timer 2. The reader is again referred to the manufac- turer’s data sheets for the complete specifications on the shifter. We will simply present here two typical examples of shifting in and shift- ing out. Shifting in With an External Clock The program appears below: SHIFTIN LDA #0 STA ACR’ CLEARSR LDA #$0C EXTERNAL CLOCK MODE STA ACR START SHIFTER LOOP LDA IFR DONE FLAG? AND #$04 ‘TEST BIT 2 BEQ LOOP WAITING LOOP LDA SR READ 8 BITS INTO ACC STA $20 SAVE IN MEMORY The shift register is first cleared by loading zeroes into the ACR: LDA #0 STA ACR Then the correct operating mode is specified by loading the value ‘**011’’ in bits 4, 3, 2, respectively of the ACR: LDA #$0C STA ACR 57 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK This specifies a shift-in under control of an external clock (see Fig 2-33). Once the 8 shifts have occurred, the shifting mechanism is auto- matically disabled, and the SR interrupt flag is set in the IFR register. After the shifting has been started, the program therefore simply checks the contents of bit position 2 of the IFR (see Fig 2-28) to verify whether it is ‘‘1.’’ The polling loop appears below: LOOP LDA IFR AND #$04 BEQ LOOP At this point, the contents of shift register SR simply need to be transferred into memory location 20 as usual: LDA SR STA $20 Shifting out Under Phase 2 Control The program is essentially similar to the one above except that the control bits to be loaded in the ACR are different, in order to specify the proper operating mode. Assuming that we simply have to send one word of 8 bits out, no waiting loop is necessary here to determine whether the shift is finished or riot. The program appears below: SHIFTOUT LDA #0 STA ACR CLEARSR LDA #$18 STA ACR 62 O0OUT MODE LDA $20 READ DATA FROM MEMORY STA SR As above, the shift register is first cleared, then the ACR is loaded with the value ‘‘18’’ hexadecimal, which specifies the combination ‘*110”’ into bit positions 4,3 and 2. This specifies the shift out at a rate controlled by phase 2 of the system clock: LDA _ #0 STA ACR 58 THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS LDA #$18 STA ACR The data is then fetched from memory location 20, and deposited into the shift register. Depositing the data into the shift register automati- cally starts it. LDA $20 STA SR If we had to send a succession of 8-bit words, the program here should wait for one shift to be completed before starting the next one. This would be accomplished by a waiting loop like the one above. Once 8 bits have been shifted out, the 6522 automatically sets bit 2 of the IFR (see Fig 2-28) . The program therefore would simply test continuously bit 2 of the IFR until it takes the value ‘‘1.’’ Once the value ‘‘1’’ has been detected, the shift will be resumed. Summary of the 6522 The three functions of this component are: PIO, timer, shift. Addi- tionally, complex control signals can be specified for the PIO and the timer. The function of the possible control signals and options has been described. This component should be viewed as a set of three sep- arate functions. The functions of Port A and Port B are essentially similar but not symmetrical: the two timers have some common fea- tures but offer different possibilities. Finally, the shift register is essentially symmetrical on input and output and can be used to receive or transmit bits or words at any set frequency from a number of exter- nal clock sources.

(PRO/PBS = C51/C52; PB? =IRQ) Fig. 2-36: 6530 Internal Architecture THE INPUT OUTPUT CHIPS THE 6530 ROM-RAM I/O TIMER (RRIOT) (RRIOT stands for ROM-RAM-I/O-Timer). The 6530 is a special combination component which combines four functions usually distinct: a PIO, a timer, a RAM and a ROM. The in- ternal architecture of the 6530 is shown on Fig 2-36. It is equipped with the usual two PIO ports, each one of them with its own data-di- rection register. However, there are no control lines or interrupt logic associated with the ports. The timer is connected to port B. The RAM memory provides 64 bytes, the ROM provides 1K bytes. A ROM, once programmed, cannot be changed. Since it is uneconomical to produce ROM’s in small quantities, the 6530 is only used in situations where a large number of identical components is going to be produced. As an example, the KIM board uses two 6530’s which contain the internal control program or ‘‘monitor.”’ Three pins on this component have a dual function: CS1 and CS2 are mask options intead of PB6 and PBS. Also, PB7 may be used as an interrupt request IRQ. The Interval Timer The interval timer is equipped with an 8-bit register, and may be used in one of four modes.

To the programmer, the timer appears as a set of 4 memory locations as shown In Fig 2-37. When using the timer, pin PB7 may be used as an interrupt pin. When used as an interrupt, pin PB7 must be programmed as an input. When not used as an interrupt, it may be used for any usual purpose. For details on the utilization of PB7 as interrupt, the reader is referred to the manufacturer’s data sheets. THE 6532 RIOT The 6532 is essentially a 6530 without the ROM. The RAM, how- ever, is larger: it provides 128 words. In addition, the PA7 line on this device may be used an an edge-detecting input. When this mode is used, an active transition will set an internal interrupt flag (bit 6 of the inter- rupt flag register). The internal architecture of the 6532 is shown in Fig 2-38. The ad- dressing of the chip is shown in Fig 2-39. The rest of the operation of the 6532 is essentially like that of the 6530. Ports A and B are not symmetrical. The main difference between the two ports is that port B is equipped with push-pull buffers which are capable of sourcing 3 mA at 1.5 volts. This allows the direct con- nection of this port to LED’s or Darlington transistors. Further, port A reads directly from the pins. On port B, data is read from the output register instead of the peripheral pins. DATA PORTA BUS = » (AJ may be convol) PORTS csi Ct (87 may be contro!)

Still more complex applications will require the use of control signals and the possible use of automated shifts. All the components we have re- viewed - the 6520, the 6522, the 6530 and the 6532 - provide two PIO ports. Except for the 6520, they all provide at least one programmable timer. A comparison table of the four input-output devices appears on Fig 2-40. One or more of the above PIO’s will be used in all the applications in this book.

The organization of such a ‘‘standard system’’ will therefore be presented first. Then, some real 6502 boards will be described and will be shown to be consistent with the standard model just introduced. In order to present realistic applications, it is necessary to define an exact hardware configuration to which the applications are effectively connected. The majority of the examples presented in the book are di- rectly applicable to the SYM board, and can be readily adapted to the KIM board. One section of the next chapter will specifically present KIM programs. SYBEX does not endorse any board or any manufac- turer. Simply, for educational purposes, it is more practical to present applications directly applicable to existing boards, rather than invent a fictitious one. Most programs written for the SYM are compatible with the KIM, and can be readily adapted to other boards, such as the AIM6S. The reader is encouraged to exercise his own judgment in deter- mining which board will be best suited to his needs. The architecture of the KIM, SYM, and AIM 65 are presented in this chapter. SYM is presented in more detail so that the reader who does not have aSYM can understand the interconnections used in the application programs presented in the following chapters. However, it should be stressed again that any other board can be used, and that the changes re- quired in the programs are usually minor. 64 6502 SYSTEMS A “STANDARD” 6502 SYSTEM Any standard microprocessor system includes at least the microproc- essor unit (MPU) and its clock circuit, the ROM, the RAM, and one or more PIO’s. The organization of such a standard system, using the 6502, is shown in Fig 3-1. eer | same (a Said Bus EXPANSION EEE: |[- / es. © RAO GNOR* A aE 10 DEVICES PORT B CONT@QL | EXPANSION Fig. 3-1: Organization of a Standard" 6520 System The 6502 incorporates most of the clock’s circuitry within the micro- processor chip, so that only an external crystal and an oscillating circuit are necessary. The 6502 and its clock circuit are shown on the left of the illustration. The 6502, like any ‘‘standard’’ microprocessor, creates three busses: the address bus (16 lines), the data bus (8 lines, bi-direc- tional), and finally the control bus. In the standard system, the RAM memory (read-write memory), the ROM memory (read-only memory), and the PIO are shown as separate chips connected to the 3 busses. The ROM will typically contain a moni- tor program necessary for using the microprocessor board resources, or else user programs (in industrial applications). The PIO will create two ports (8 lines each) for communicating with external devices, plus perhaps some additional control lines. In any practical application, at least two PIO’s will be necessary to provide a sufficient number of I/O lines. Some 65 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK additional logic is usually required for address decoding and other functions. | Because several combination-chips are available in the 6502 family, the ROM, the RAM, and the PIO may be combined on one or more chips. However, any system using the 6502 will normally incorporate all the logical elements of Fig 3-1. Let us now examine some real boards and how they relate to our stan- dard board. Fig. 3-2: Photo of KiM-1 THE KIM-1 The KIM-1! was an early board introduced by MOS Technology in support of their 6502 microprocessor. It incorporates a minimal number of components, is equipped with a hexadecimal keyboard and with 6 LED’s, so that it can be used as a low-cost stand-alone complete micro- computer board. It is shown on Fig 3-2. Its internal organization is shown on Fig 3-3. The KIM-1 includes a separate 1K by 8 RAM (for the user) and two 6530 combination chips. The reader will recall from the previous chap- 66 6502 SYSTEMS ter that the 6530 is a combination chip providing a PIO, a programma- ble timer, a ROM, and a RAM. On this board, there is no need for an ex- ternal ROM memory since the amount of ROM memory provided by the two 6530’s is sufficient to contain the system monitor. Each 6530 also contains 64 bytes of RAM which are partly used by the system gg TTL ESE earn. © NN © 210 TG © JU Fig. 3-3: KIM-1 Internal Organization Additionally, the board is equipped with a keyboard, 6 LED’s, a tape recorder interface, and a teletype interface. It can be expanded exter- nally through two edge connectors, called respectively the expansion connector and applications connector, as shown on Fig. 3-3. The system memory-map is shown on Fig 3-4. The signals for the two con- nectors of the KIM are shown on Fig 3-5 and 3-6. The reader should ascertain that the organization of this board does meet the description of our standard 6502 system as shown on Fig 3-1. The details of the pin interconnects are useful to those readers who will want to connect the applications presented here to this particular board. 67 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK STACK POINTER KB Col D KB Col A KB ColE KB Col B KB Col F KB Row0 PBS PB7 PAO PB4 PB3 PB2 PBI PBO PA7 PA6 PAS PA4 PAI PA2 PA3 Vss (GND) KIM... 4 REGISTER BUFFER 4K EXPANSION 64 Byte RAM, 653041 KIM RAM-+ Applications RAM 64 Byte RAM, 6530#2 1/0 & Timer, 6530#1 (KIM I/O) 1/0 & Timer, 6530#2 (Applications I/O) Fig. 3-4: KIM-1 Memory Map om 1 oN _ 2% ‘ Ww w (EXPANSION) KB Row 1 KB Col C KB Row 2 KB Col G KB Row 3 TTY PTR TTY KYBD TTY PTR RTRN (+) TTY KYBD RTRN (+) AUDIO OUT HI +12V AUDIO OUT LO AUDIO IN DECODE ENAB KO Vcc (+5V) Fig 3-5: KIM Application Connector PFWUOUMMMoHArZsAvAMHHCcCe SKN NN NY om WN eee eee eet et ome NW Lh A NHN ~] CO © m NW BUD ~) 0 Fig. 3-6: KIM Expansion Connector Vss (GND) Vcc (+5) SST OUT K6 DBO DBI DB2 DB3 DB4 DBS DB6 DB7 RST NMI RO IRQ 1 RDY SYNC PFOOUMMMHArZSZAvAHAC<SRKKEN 6502 SYSTEMS RAM/R/W 2 PLL TEST 69 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK THE SYM-1 TheSYM-1 board was introduced by Synertek Systems as an expand- ed version of the previous board.

A larger ROM size al- lows a more complex monitor to reside on the board. e It is equipped with more complex input-output chips and has three of them instead of two, thereby offering more IO ports and resources. Because of the extra ports, it also has one more applications connector than the previous board. e Additional input-output facilities are available such as four input- output buffers and part of a CRT interface. Other miscellaneous differences exist between these boards but are not relevant for the purposes of this book.

Since some implementation details will be used (or worked around) in some of the application programs, two relevant details are presented below. Fig 3-16 shows the four buffered outputs available on PB4 through PB7 of 6522 #3. Fig 3-17 shows the connection to the LED’s and the keyboard. AA CONNECTOR Fig. 3-16: The Four Buffered Outputs THE AIM 65 The AIM 65 is shown on Fig 3-18. This unit, developed by Rockwell International, consists of two boards. One of them is the microcompu- ter board, equipped with a 20-column dot-matrix printer, and a 20-char- acter alphanumeric display. The second board is a full ASCII keyboard, which is attached directly to the other one. The printer operates at up to 120 lines per minute, using a five-by-seven dot matrix to print the com- plete ASCII 64-character set (upper case only). In its minimal version, the AIM 65 is equipped with a comprehensive monitor (8K) 1K of RAM, two 6522’s, one 6532, plus the usual interfaces (teletype, two audio cas- sette interfaces, and naturally the keyboard interface). Several addi- tional chips can easily be placed on the board.

A user developing applications for this specific board will there- fore only have to modify the programs presented here to fit the memory assignments of the AIM 65 PIO’s. OTHER BOARDS Other boards are manufactured by various manufacturers such as Ohio Scientific. Overall, all 6502 boards fit the description of our ‘‘standard system.”’ As long as they use the same I/O chips (and nearly all do, as these chips offer strong advantages), there should be virtually no modification needed to the programs presented in this book, except for the PIO ad- dresses, and the possible unavailability of specific I/O lines. The SYM A and E connectors are equivalent to the KIM and AIM edge connectors. The vertical board, on the left of the power supply of Fig 3-19 below, is a 16K memory expansion board connected through the E connector. At the foreground, two experiments are connected through the A con- nector: a hexadecimal keyboard, and a microprinter. They are described in chapter 6. “= @ 7 ee 8 Fig 3-19: KIM/SYM/ AIM Connector Compatibility TI CHAPTER 4 BASIC TECHNIQUES INTRODUCTION In this chapter, we will connect a 6502 board to basic input-output devices. We will connect it to simple output devices such as light-emit- ting-diodes (LED’s), relays, and a loudspeaker. On input, we will con- nect it to a set of switches. Then, we will use these resources to start developing simple application programs, such as a Morse generator, a time-of-day clock, a simple home control program, and even an auto- matic telephone dialer. We will then present direct applications of these techniques: a siren, a pulse meter, a music program, a mathe- matical game. Then, in the following chapter we will develop more complex programs using these basic input-output devices and more complex ones. Few components are needed to actually realize the applications board for this chapter. A picture of the board is shown in Fig 4-0. All the components can be purchased at low cost from any electronics store. The reader is strongly encouraged to acquire these few electronic components and to wire them as indicated in this chapter, in order to effectively apply the programs that will be described. Naturally, this will require access to a 6502-based board. In order to present real programs, the hardware configuration of the SYM board is used in the first part, and the KIM for the second one. However, all of these programs should run with minimal modifi- cations on any other 6502 board (see Chapter 2). 78 BASIC TECHNIQUES The programs to be developed in this chapter are simple, but they as- sume a basic understanding of the 6502 instructions, as provided by the preceding book in the series, reference C202 (‘‘Programming the 6502’’). The list of components required for the applications programs in this chapter is: perforated board (1) switches (4) LED driver (1) LED’s (1 or more) 12 V relays (3) speaker (1) (high impedance preferred) variable resistor (1) resistors male 120 V AC plug (1) female 120 AC plugs (2) The hardware connection of the various components on the board will be described for each application. It is not indispensable to assemble an applications board to understand this chapter. However, many exercises will be suggested in this chapter and the following ones. Although they can be developed on paper, true programming expertise is best acquired through actual experimenta- tion. The reader is therefore again encouraged, either before or after reading this book; to start programming on real hardware. The goal of this chapter is to teach the basic hardware and software interfacing techniques which are required to connect any ‘‘standard”’ 6502 board to simple external devices. At the end of this chapter, you should know how to use the main resources of the input-output chips, and how to write programs which will sense and control input-output devices. We will build upon this knowledge in the next chapter and develop more complex industrial and home applications. 719 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Fig. 4-0: Complete System with Power Supply, Micro- computer Board, Tape Recorder and Applications Board BASIC TECHNIQUES SECTION 1: THE TECHNIQUES RELAYS A relay is used to control an external high voltage or high current circuit: the control circuit is isolated from the external one through the relay. A relay requires DC current. The current flows through a coil, producing a magnetic field. This field will provoke in turn the closure of a movable contact. The external circuit may be alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). In order to control external devices using a significant current of voltage, such as appliances, we will use relays. The SYM board has a special provision for high current or high voltage devices. Four buffered output ports are available on the board. They are respectively connected to bits 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the in- put-output register B of the PIO (6522-U29) (see Fig 4-1). We will, therfore, directly use these special outputs which can control relays. On any other board which has only PIO outputs (such as KIM) a tran- sistor or buffer must be used. The use of a 7404 Hex Inverter is shown on Fig 4-2 to control three external relays from two output lines of a 6530. AA CONNECTOR Fig. 4-1: 1/O Buffers $1 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Fig. 4-2: 6530 Relay Interface The Hardware Interface The connection diagram for a single relay appears on Fig 4-3. This relay may be, for example, a 12 volt relay with a 50 to 500 ohms coil. The contact can be SPST (Single pole, single throw = one contact) or SPDT (Single pole, double throw = two contacts) at 10-15 amps. The current rating of the relay contacts should be sufficient to handle the external device connected to it. Most house appliances do not draw more than 10 to 15 amps so that the above specifications should be sufficient for home applications. OUTPUT EXTERNAL DEVICE +12V Fig. 4-3: Connecting a Simple Relay Note on the illustration that a clipping diode is connected in parallel to the coil. This is an important precaution with any relay to avoid damage to the PIO buffer or amplifier. A reverse voltage spike occurs when the relay is turned off. Any diode which will handle the voltage may be used. For example, an IN914 should be sufficient for our pur- poses. 82 BASIC TECHNIQUES RELAY RESISTOR Fig. 4-4: Precautions on Device Side On the device side of the relay, two precautions can be taken: a capacitor may be placed in parallel to the output to absorb the surge due to contact closure (this insures a longer life for the relay contacts); also, if a significant current may be drawn, a resistor should be placed in series (see Fig 4-4). A double-pole relay can be connected in exactly the same manner, and the connection diagram appears in Fig 4-5. Such a relay is capa- ble of switching two independent, separate circuits simultaneously. (3 CONTACT DUAL OUTPUT) Fig. 4-3: Connecting a Double Pole Relay Let us now consider a practical application. We will connect two re- lays, Rl and R2 respectively, to bits 6 and 7 of port B of the SYM PIO. These two relays will be used to control AC devices. In the simplest case, we will assume that these AC devices are two independent lamps. This will allow us to test the program easily, by merely verifying whether the lamps are turned on and off correctly. Naturally, instead of a lamp, the device could be any household device or appliance which does not overload the relay. The interconnect diagram appears in Fig 4-6. 83 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK RELAY RI AA - 22 vo EXTERNAL CIRCUIT +12V RELAY R2 EXTERNAL CIRCUITS Fig. 4-6: Connecting Two Relays to the PIO Let us inspect Figs 3-11, 3-12 and 3-13 showing the connection points for the three SYM connectors: we see that the four buffered oputputs, called PB4, PBS, PB6 and PB’, are available repectively on pins Y, 21, Z and 22. The connection points marked PBS through PB7 on our illustration, therefore, simply need to be connected by a wire to the appropriate pin of the ‘‘auxiliary application connector.”’ Fig. 4-7: External Circuit for the Relays 84 BASIC TECHNIQUES On the external circuit side of the relay, one AC plug is used which will be connected into a wall outlet and supply power to the two out- lets which will be controlled by the microcomputer. These two female outlets are connected to the relays as indicated on Fig 4-7. They are powered in parallel from the AC plug. However, either one of them can be turned on independently under microcomputer control. Let us now implement the software control for these relays. ACO00 ACO5 AC06 ACO7 ACOB ACOF Fig 4-8: Memory Map for 6522 #3 (Third 6322 of SYM) The Software Interface Each of the two circuits connected to relays Rl and R2 will be turned on whenever the corresponding relay is actuated. The relay will be turned on by setting the corresponding control bit to 1. By inspect- ing Fig 4-8, it can be seen that Port B for the 6522 #3 is located at Memory Address ACOO. The contents of memory location ACOO are illustrated on Fig 4-9. Let us now turn the relays on and off. 85 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK MEMORY ADDRESS rao a ES Ee PB4 (UNUSED) PBS (RELAY R3) PBS (RELAY R2) PB7 (RELAY R}) Fig. 4-9: Port B of 6522 #3 First, we must configure Port B as an output port. To simplify, we will specify that bits 0 through 7 be outputs, even though we use here only bits 5, 6, and 7. The convention could be changed in a different application. It will be remembered from Chapter 2 that, in order to specify the direction in which input-output lines will be used, the corresponding bit position of the Data Direction Register must be loaded with a zero or a one. A one in the Data Direction Register will specify an output. A zero will specify an input. Loading all ones in the Data Direction Register guarantees that all bits will be used as out- puts. CMN2 9 | i i 21 RELAY 1 Y RELAY 2 Z RELAY 3 Fig. 4-10: Detail of Relay Connection on the Applications Board As a remark, when programming, it is a good policy to always make things as simple and consistent as possible. Since we assume here that (for the time being) no other devices are connected to the other lines of Port B, it is safer to configure all lines as either inputs or outputs. 86 BASIC TECHNIQUES Specifying all bits as outputs will be accomplished by the following two instructions: LDA #$FF LOAD A IMMEDIATE WITH 11111111 STA $AC0O2 STORE A INTO ADDRESS AC02 HEXADECIMAL It can be verified on Fig 4-8 that ACQ2 is the address of the Data Di- rection Register for Port B of the 6522 device #3. ‘‘FF’’ hexadecimal is equivalent to ‘11111111’? binary. Let us now turn on the relay con- nected to PB6. LDA $AC00 READ CURRENT VALUE OF PB ORA #$40 FORCE PB6 TO 1 STA $AC0OO0 OUTPUT The first instruction is used to read the current value of Port B. Be- cause several devices or relays may be presently connected to Port B, we do not want to simply write a pattern such as ‘‘01000000”’ into Port B; this would turn on the relay connected to PB6, but would also turn off all the other relays! Therefore, we want to read the present status of PB and only change a single bit, PB6. The change is accom- plished with the logical OR instruction, the second in our program (ORA). The logical OR respects the integrity of all the bits, and forces to ‘‘1”’ the specified bit location. If we wanted to turn on PB7 instead of PB6, the pattern ‘‘80’’ (hexadecimal) would be used, instead of ‘*40.”’ Finally, the resulting bit pattern is stored at address ACOQO, which corresponds to PB; the relay connected to PB6 is then turned on. Exercise 4-1: Write the three-instruction program which will turn on the relays connected to PB6 and PB7 simultaneously. Let us now turn off the relay connected to PB6: LDA $ACOO0) READ THE CURRENT STATUS OF PB AND #$BF SET BIT 6 TO 0 STA $ACO00 STORE RESULTING VALUE IN PB The logical-AND instruction is used to force a ‘‘0”’ at the specified bit location. All other bit locations are not affected. (‘‘BF’’ hexadecimal is 10111111’? in binary.) 87 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Note: The AND instruction is traditionally used to zero a specified bit location. However, an identical result may be obtained using the EOR instruction. The program remains the same except that the AND instruction becomes: EOR #$40 The advantage is that the pattern used to turn off is the same as the One used to turn on. This eliminates a possible mistake. The reader should naturally verify that this is a legitimate way to force a zero. This is because the exclusive OR of ‘‘1’’ and ‘‘1’’ is ‘‘0.’’ If bit 6 was a ‘‘1,’’ the ‘‘40’’ pattern will therefore force it to a zero. All other bits will be unaffected. Verification Let us verify now that these simple instructions are indeed sufficient to turn our relays on and off. We will connect two lamps, or two de- vices, to the two relays and type in these instructions at the keyboard, then verify that the lamps are turned on or off. Since the keyboard re- quires that input be in hexadecimal form, here is the hexadecimal equivalent of the two above programs: To turn the relay on: AD 00 AC 09 PATTERN (PATTERN stands for an 8 bit pattern) 8D 00 AC The program to turn the relay off is: AD 00 AC 49 PATTERN 8D 00 AC If you have a board you should now key in these two programs and verify their correct operation. SWITCHES Two main types of switches may be connected: a push-button (SPST switch) or a two-position switch (SPDT). The connection of an SPST is illustrated in Fig 4-11. With the connection indicated, the switch is in the logical state ‘‘1’’ when the contact is open and in state ‘0’? when the contact is closed. If the opposite should be desirable, the polarities would simply be reversed on the switch contact. BASIC TECHNIQUES The connection of an SPDT switch (a two position switch) is illus- trated in Fig 4-12. The connection is straightforward. One of the con- tact positions will be logical state ‘‘1,’’ while the other one will be logi- cal state ‘‘0.”’ +5V 10K INPUT PORT ] GND Fig. 4-11: Connecting an SPST +5V GND Fig. 4-12: Connecting an SPDT Connecting Four Switches We will use lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Port B of the 6522, as four input lines used to sense the status of the external switches.

This is accomplished by loading the appropriate pattern in address ‘‘A002,’’ the data direction register for Port B. LDA #$E0 SET BITS 01234 AS INPUTS STA $A002 The pattern ‘‘E0’’ is used to configure lines 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 as inputs and lines 5, 6, 7 as outputs (they may be connected to external relays). **E0”’ hexadecimal is ‘‘11100000”’ in binary. Each ‘‘0’’ sets an input. Each ‘‘1’’ sets an output. ‘‘E1”’’ could also be used. Let us now read the value of the switch and branch to a specified memory location determined by this value.

Testing the Program on the Board The hexadecimal code for the above program is: A9 SWITCHPTR 2C 00 AO FO ANYADDRESS or ‘‘DO”’ ANYADDRESS SPEAKER An external speaker may be.connected directly to a pin of one of the PIO devices. Pin 7 is often more powerful and is generally used. On the 6522 device, the polarity of the PB7 output signal can be controlled by one of the internal interval timers. The timer will be used to gener- ate a tone of given frequency. The preferred position for connecting the speaker will therefore be PB7. The connection diagram appears on Fig 4-16. _ PB7 _ (A—15) ~ ‘\ + 5V Fig. 4-16: Connecting the Speaker When the buffered output of the SYM is used (6522 #3) a resistor should be placed in series with the speaker to limit the output current. Instead of connecting the speaker directly to a PIO output pin, the circuit of Fig 4-17 may be used to provide a louder sound. OUTPUT PIN +5V Fig. 4-17: Obtaining a Louder Output Warning: a variable resistor is shown on Fig 4-17 for convenience. However, if it is set to zero, it will probably burn, and destroy the cor- responding output transistor (this applies also to SYM). 91 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The Software Interface A sound can be generated by the speaker by merely turning it on and off at the desired frequency. The sound will not be as “‘clean sounding’’ as one from a musical instrument since it will have been generated by a square wave. However, it will be sufficient for our needs and can be clearly identified by its frequency. We will now build a practical application A MORSE GENERATOR We will develop here a program capable of generating a Morse code corresponding to any letter of the alphabet. Ths program will activate a loudspeaker, so that we can verify that the proper Morse code is be- ing generated. In addition, it will have the capability of turning on or off an external device so that this morse code could for example be transmitted over a communications link. YY 2. PAGE! PAGE 2 PAGE Fig. 4-18: Memory Allocation for the Morse Program The conventions used by this program are the following: The program itself will be stored in Page 3 of the RAM, i.e., start- ing at location 300. This is illustrated on Fig 4-18. This program con- tains a Morse equivalence table which will serve to generate the proper bit pattern for any given ASCII character. It will be shown below how this table is generated. It is assumed that the first character to be con- verted to Morse is contained in the accumulator at the time the pro- gram is started. 92 BASIC TECHNIQUES Further, the speed of the transmission will be adjustable through the variable SPEED, stored in Page 0 at memory location FO (See Fig 4-18). Each time unit (such as the duration of a dot in Morse code) is expressed internally in milliseconds. Putting the value 100 into vari- able ‘‘SPEED”’ will result in the duration being 1/10th of a second. Before the program is started, it is assumed that CHAR and SPEED have valid contents, and that the accumulator contains the first character to be transmitted. An external subroutine could call this subroutine repeatedly in order to transmit a string of characters. It is the responsibility of this subroutine to deposit a character in the accumulator every time it calls the Morse transmitter. Let us now examine the algorithm used to transmit the Morse code.

The pro- gram first checks for a space character. If found, it will generate no signal for seven time periods, plus the delay between successive char-. acters. It then verifies that the ASCII character contained in the accu- mulator has a valid hexadecimal code. Legal codes must be between **2C”’ and ‘‘5A”’ inclusive, in hexadecimal (assuming a 7-bit ASCII code). Otherwise, an error exit occurs. After validation of character code, this ASCII code must be converted to its morse equivalent. The technique will be explained later. The binary encoding of the morse code will consist of a ‘SSTART’’ bit (a ‘‘1’’), followed by a ‘‘0’’ for a ‘‘.’’, and a “‘1”’ for a ‘‘—”’. All unused bits within the 8-bit word, to the left of the start bit, will be set to ‘‘0.”’ This conversion will be performed by the program by a table lookup described later. Let us now assume that the binary version of the morse code has been obtained. The sequence of tones must be generated. The contents of the accumulator will be shifted out left until the START is found. Following the detection of the START bit, every ‘‘0”’ will be interpreted as a ‘‘-’’ and every ‘‘1”’ will be inter- preted as a ‘‘—’’, up to the eighth bit. For every ‘‘0’’ shifted out, a short tone will be generated. For every ‘‘1’’ shifted out, a long tone will be generated. The tone generation will also be described later in detail. After generating the tone corresponding to a bit, a 1-period waiting time is inserted, and the next bit of the Morse code is checked until the last one (the eighth) has been found. Following the transmission of the squence of tones for a Morse character, atwo period delay is generated. This corresponds to ‘‘space’’ bits which are normally inserted at the end of every transmission for a character. A one-period delay is then generated which separates suc- cessive characters.

Let us now examine in detail the spe- cific problems which we have not yet resolved. Converting ASCII to Binary Morse We want to establish here a correspondance table between the ASCII character and the binary representation of its Morse code. Let us illus- trate this in an example. The character ‘‘B’’ has a Morsecodeof ‘‘—..-’’, Every ‘‘—’’ will be encoded by a “‘1,’’ and every ‘‘-”’ by a ‘0’. The binary equivalent of ‘‘— - - -’’ is, therefore, ‘‘1000’’. In addition, by convention, we will add a START bit (a ‘‘1’’) to the left of the code we have just generated. The resulting code at this point is: *11000.”’ Finally, every. binary Morse code will be contained in an eight-bit word. The remaining bits to the left of the START bit will now be set to zero. Our resulting eight-bit code is therefore: ‘‘00011000.’’ In hexadecimal, this is ‘°18’’. The hexadecimal representation of the binary morse encoding for B is: **18’’. As an example, the table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of A, B, C, D. A complete equivalence table for all legal morse characters appears on Fig 4-22. The algorithm corresponding to the technique just described is illustrated by the flow-chart of Fig 4-23.

This table will be called the ‘‘Morse table’’ and will be stored at the end of the program (see Fig 4-18). Whenever we re- quire the Morse code equivalent of a specific character, we will access the proper entry table and find there the binary code. This will be de- scribed later when we discuss the actual program.

We will use here a timer. Ga T/2 Fig. 4-24: Square Wave Generates Tone in Speaker 97 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The tone will be generated at the speaker by sending it a square wave of the required frequency. This is illustrated by Fig 4-24. The timer can be used to generate this waveform automatically. In order to obtain this result, we will set the appropriate bits in the control register ACR (see Fig 4-25), then simply control the length of time during which this tone or wave form Is generated. The actual timing diagram appears in Fig 4-26. $2 at the top of the illustration is Phase 2 of the system clock. In most standard 6502 systems the clock has a | micro- second period. The pulse generated by this timer appears on the PB7 output pin. It will last N + 1.5 subcycles, where N is the value depos- ited in the counter. This is because the counter of the timer decrements from N down to 0, and inverses the output port with the next high-to- low transition of the clock. This is illustrated on Fig 4-26. An interrupt (IRQ) is also generated at the same time, but will not be used here.

However, as soon as the contents of the counter are written, the counter starts running. Since the counter is a 16-bit register, we cannot load it-in a single data transfer from the microprocessor. It must be latched. The timer is, therefore, equipped with an internal 16-bit latch called T1L. The low part of the latch is called T1L-L, while the high part of the latch is called T1L-H. The value N will be deposited in T1L-L and in T1IL-H. At this point the 16-bit contents are specified but nothing happens yet. In order to start the timer, we will give a special:command which will transfer the con- tents of the latch into the actual counter. This is the ‘‘write T1C-H’”’ command which appears on the fourth line of Fig 4-27: LDA #VALUE LO STA $A006 LOAD LOW LATCH LDA AVALUE HI STA $A007 LOAD HI LATCH STA $A005 TRANSFER LATCH=START Fig 4-27: Program to use Timer 1 SET ACR6 AND ACR7 TO "1" = SET FREE RUNNING MODE STORE VALUE IN LATCH LOAD IT INTO COUNTER = START TONE PLAY TONE FOR DURATION ‘DELAY’ TURN OFF ACR7 = STOP TONE OUT Fig 4-28: Generate Tone of Set Duration with Timer 1 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The sequence of events to use the timer should now be clear. It is de- scribed on the flow chart of Fig 4-28. First, we will set the appropriate bits of the control register ACR to the required values. The timer operates in ‘‘free-running’’ mode where it generates a square output on PB7. This is obtained by setting bits 6 and 7 of ACR to ‘‘0”’ and ‘*1”? (see Fig 4-29 and 4-30). Next, the appropriate value N will be stored in the latch. Then, it will be transferred into the counter itself to start it. This will be the starting point for the tone being generated. Every time that the counter decrements to zero, it will reload the value stored in its latch register automatically. The timer will therefore from now on automatically generate a square wave with a half-period of approximately N+ 2. (This is approximate because the low part of the pulse has an N + 1.5 duration whereas the upper part of it hasan N + 2 duration). ‘ACR7 ACR6 MODE OUTPUT FREE RUN ENABLE ENABLE Generate INT and output pulse on PB7 everytime Generate time out INT when T! loaded (ONE-SHOT) PB7 disabled Tl is loaded. 1 Generate continuous INT PB7 disabled. 0 (ONE-SHOT) = one-shot and programmable width pulse. 1 Generate continuous INT and square wave (FREE RUN) output on PB7.

A software loop will be used in this pro- gram. Finally, the tone must be stopped when the specified delay has been achieved. This will be performed by turning off bit 7 of ACR. The reader should refer to the flow-chart of Fig 4-28 and make sure that he understands the sequence of actions necessary to use the timer. The actual implementation will be presented below along with the pro- gram. The Morse Program We will follow here the flow-chart which has been presented on Fig 4-19 and develop the corresponding program. A number of specific techniques will be used in this program: Indexed addressing will be used to retrieve the binary encoding of the Morse code for a given ASCII character. The hardware timer will be used to generate a tone of fixed fre- quency. A software delay will be implemented to regulate the duration of the tone. 102 BASIC TECHNIQUES Nested loops will be used to implement a multiplication in the delay loop. Let us now examine the program. It assumes that the accumulator has been loaded with the value of the ASCII character whose Morse code is to be transmitted. (See memory map on Fig 4-18). For flexibil- ity, the speed of transmission is adjustable. It is expressed in units of 1 milliseconds (.001 second). The variable ‘‘SPEED”’’ at memory loca- tion ‘‘OOFO’’ must be set prior to entering this program. For example, if ‘‘SPEED”’ is set to the value 1000, the duration of a ‘‘:’’ will be 1000 x .001 = 1 second. The program will reside in Page 3, starting at address ‘‘0300’’ hexadecimal. The beginning of the program is: SPEED = $00F0 COUNT = $00F1 CHAR = $00F2 * = $0300 The first four lines are assembler directives. The first three direc- tives assign respectively the memory addresses OOFO, OOF1, OOF2, to SPEED, COUNT, and CHAR respectively. The fourth directive spe- cifies the value of the pseudo address-counter to be 0300 hexadecimal, 1.e., specifies that the first executable instruction in the program will reside at memory address 0300. We must first check that the character in the accumulator is a legal code. This is accomplished by: MORSE CMP #$20 IS IT A SPACE CODE? BEQ SPACE CMP #$2C ERROR IF LESS THAN 2C BCC EXIT CMP #$5B OR MORE THAN 5B BCS EXIT The first two lines check whether the character in the accumulator is a ‘‘space’’ character (20 hexadecimal). If so, a delay of seven time periods is implemented followed by the normal delay between charac- ters. The next four instructions verify that the ASCII code is between “2C”’ and ‘‘5A”’ inclusive. This is the range of valid ASCII characters 103 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK for Morse transmission. If an illegal character is found, an error is detected, and a jump occurs to location ‘‘EXIT.”’ In order to keep the program simple and educational, no specific action is taken here at location EXIT to flag the error. The reader is strongly encouraged (as an exercise) to add specific instructions at location EXIT which will flag the erroneous character found in the accumulator. In this pro- gram, there will simply be no transmission for this erroneous char- acter. Once a legal ASCII character has been found in the accumulator, it must be converted into the binary code which will be used to generate the sequence of sounds. The binary Morse code corresponding to every permissible ASCII character is stored at the end of the program, from memory location 36B to memory location 399. We would like to retrieve the first entry of the table for the ASCII character 2C, the next entry of this table for the next sequential ASCII character, and so on. This is a typical case where we wish to use indexed addressing. However, an extra problem arises here: the ASCII characters are num- bered from 2C on, rather than from ‘‘0’’ or from ‘‘1’’ on. The solu- tion is quite simple, and appears below: TAX LDA TABLE-$2C,X The ASCII is transferred into the index register X so that it may be used as an offset. In order to take into account the fact that the charac- ters are numbered from 2C on, the base of the table is simply specified to be not the real base at address 36B, but the address table minus 2C (hexadecimal). The binary code can then be loaded in the accumulator with a single indexed memory access (see Fig 4-32). TABLE —2C CHARACTER ASCII 2C (FIRST CHARACTER) : CHARACTER Fig 4-32: Using Indexed Addressing to Retrieve Morse Code 104 BASIC TECHNIQUES Our binary Morse code is now in the accumulator. Let us recall here that this code contains a leading 1, which is the START bit, followed by the 0’s and the 1’s representing the dashes and the periods. Any un- used bits to the left of the START bit have been set to 0. The contents of the accumulator will, therefore, be shifted left until a START bit is found, then the ‘‘real’’ bits corresponding to the dashes and the periods will be used to generate sounds. The program is: LDY #$08 NUMBER OF BITS TO BE ROTATED FROM A STY COUNT STARTB ASL A DEC COUNT BCC STARTB SHIFT A UNTIL START BIT FOUND STA CHAR NEXT LDA CHAR ASL A SHIFT OUR MORSE CODE (1 = DASH, 0= DOT) STA CHAR DOT=1 TIME PERIOD, DEFAULT TO DOT LDY #$01 BCC SEND IF CARRY CLEAR, DOT LDY #$03 ELSE DASH (THREE TIME PERIODS) The index register Y would normally be used as a counter in order to stop the successive left shifts of A, once 8 bits have been shifted out. However, the SEND routine, which will generate the sound, requires that the Y register be loaded with a duration of the sound to be gen- erated. We can, therefore, not use index register Y for the purpose of shifting out the bits. The next idea that comes to mind is to reuse the index register X which is now available. Unfortunately, our conven- tion in this program is that the DELAY routine uses index register X. Since neither of the two Index Registers is available as a counter, we will have to use a memory location. This is location COUNT. An im- portant remark is that when writing the program, we might well have coded this portion of the program before coding routines SEND or DELAY. In such a case, we would probably have used index regis- ter X or Y here to store the number of bits to be shifted from the accu- mulator. Later on, we would have discovered the necessity of using these same registers in the routines SEND or DELAY. This is when 105 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK programming discipline takes its full importance. If it is found that other routines should require the use of X and Y, one must go back in the coding and change the code in the program that precedes by using a memory location named COUNT instead of a register. Forgetting to do this is unfortunately a classical error. In that case, the other rou- tines will accidentally destroy the contents of registers X and Y, and a severe programming error will occur. As a programming discipline, it is therefore strongly recommended fo write explicitly in the comments at the beginning of every routine which registers are changed or de- stroyed by this routine. The conventions for communicating and pass- ing information between subroutines or segments of a program should be completely clear before writing a new routine. The left-most zeroes contained in the accumulator are ignored and its contents are shifted out until a START bit is found. Once the START bit has been found, every bit shifted out of the left of the accumulator represents either a ‘‘-’’ or a ‘‘—’’ depending on whether it is ‘‘0’’ or “*1,”’ Once the bit shifted out of the accumulator has been identified, we will go to location SEND in order to generate the appropriate tone. Since the contents of the accumulator will be changed by the subse- quent processing, they must be preserved in memory prior to going to SEND. This is the purpose of the second instruction STA CHAR.

The purpose of the STA CHAR, fol- lowed by LDA CHAR, which seems useless, is due to our desire to re- enter this program at ‘‘NEXT’”’ with an LDA CHAR instruction. The SEND Routine The SEND routine uses timer 1 of the 6522 to generate the tone of set frequency. The memory map for the timer appears on Fig 4-33. The timer must first be set in the free-running mode. This is accom- plished by: SEND LDA #$CO STA #A00B The value CO is deposited at address AOOB which is the ACR or Control Register. It turns on bits 6 and 7 as required by the timer (see Fig 4-29 for details). The value 0400 hexadecimal is then deposited at memory addresses A006,A007: LDA #$00 STA $A006 LDA #$04 STA $A007 These memory locations are respectively the low and the high part of the TIL or latch. It sets the frequency of the tone to be generated. 0400 hexadecimal is in binary: 00000100 00000000 or 1024. A half- period of the clock is approximately N + 2 or 1026. The period is therefore: T = 2052 microseconds And the frequency is N = 1 + T = approximately 500 HZ We must now Start the tone and stop it after the specified duration. The tone is turned on by: STA $A005 This instruction transfers the contents of the latch into the counter 107 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK register and starts the external waveform. We have indicated that this program also turns on ‘‘manually’’ PBO so that an external device such as a transmitter can be activated simultaneously with the genera- tion of the tone in the speaker. This is accomplished by: LDA #$01 STA $A000 It is assumed here that PBO has been configured as an output port prior to execution of this program. The duration of the tone is implemented by the subroutine DELAY: JSR DELAY. We will examine it below. Once the tone duration has elapsed, it must be turned off. This is accomplished by: LDA #$00 STA $A00B TURN OFF TONE STA $A000 TURN OFF OUTPUT BIT (PBO) Finally, we must leave one unit of silence between two tones. This is implemented by: LDY #$01 JSR DELAY 1-PERIOD DELAY Finally, we must decrement our bit counter, contained at memory location COUNT, in order to check whether any more bits need to be shifted from the accumulator. This is accomplished by: DEC COUNT 8 BITS DONE? BNE NEXT _ IF NOT, GO BACK Once a complete character has been transmitted, two more units of delay must be implemented to separate this character from the next one. This is accomplished by: FINISH LDY #$02 JSR DELAY EXIT RTS 108 BASIC TECHNIQUES The DELAY Subroutine This subroutine will implement a delay of: (contents of Y Register) X (SPEED) X .001 seconds. The delay will, therefore, be computed as the multiplication of three numbers. We will use here a special technique of nested loops in order to avoid performing a classical multiplication. The routine appears below: DELAY LDA SPEED D2 LDX #$FA D1 DEX BNE D1 SEC SBC #$01 BNE D2 DEY BNE DELAY RTS The corresponding flow-chart appears on Fig 4-34. DELAY OUTER DELAY LOOP | Fig. 4-34: Flow Chart for Delay 109 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The first delay loop is the one corresponding to D1. Let us compute its duration (the time of each instruction is in parentheses): (3) LDA SPEED (2) LDX #$C6 C6 HEX = 198 DECIMAL (2) DEX (3) BNE D1 The duration of the delay introduced by these first four instructions of the program is: 3 + 2 + (2 + 3) x 198 — 1 = 994 microseconds. The following two instructions are: (2) SEC (2) SBC #$01 Their durations are two microseconds each. These two instructions add, therefore, an additional delay of 4 microseconds. They are used to subtract 1 from the content of the accumulator. This is because both Index Registers X and Y are.already used in this program as counters, so that the accumulator must be used as a third counter. Un- fortunately, there is no decrement instruction which operates directly on the accumulator and a formal subtract instruction must be used. The reader will remember that the carry must be set prior to a sub- tract. This is the purpose of the SEC instruction prior to the SBC. The next instruction is: (2/3) BNE D2 This is a second delay loop. Every time that the branch is successful, it requires three microseconds, and when it is not successful it requires 2 microseconds. The total delay from the entry point DELAY to this point in the subroutine is, therefore, 995 + 7 = 1002 microseconds = 1 millisecond. A delay of 1 millisecond will be generated every time that the loop D2 is executed. Since D2 contains the value of SPEED, these two loops are implementing a delay of SPEED x .001 second, which is what we wanted. Once this total delay of SPEED x .001 second has been achieved, one more loop is implemented using the Y Register: DEY BNE DELAY RTS 110 BASIC TECHNIQUES This final loop multiplies the previous delay by the value contained in Register Y. At this point, we have obtained the desired total delay Y X SPEED x .001 seconds, and we return (RTS). Using the program. In order to use this program, it is suggested that you choose a slow transmission speed initially, unless you are familiar with Morse code, and that you generate a single character at a time. Once you see that your program works correctly, you should write a short subroutine which will feed characters to your Morse program. You can then verify that the Morse transmission proceeds correctly for any string of characters. Exercise 4-2: Write a subroutine which will feed your program a string of N characters contained in a table starting at address TABLE. Exercise 4-3: Read the keyboard, and generate the corresponding Morse signals. TIME OF DAY CLOCK We will develop here a Time of Day Clock routine which will main- tain the time in hours, minutes, and seconds in three dedicated mem- ory locations. If desired, this program could be readily extended to store fractions of a second, or any other time unit desired. The mem- ory map for this program appears on Fig 4-35. As usual, memory locations in Page O (zero) are reserved for the variables. The hours, minutes, and seconds are stored respectively at memory locations OOF4 (hexadecimal), 0OF5, OOF6. One more memory location is used: OOF7 contains the variable COUNT. CURRENT TUAAE Fig. 4-35: Time-of-Day Memory Map 111 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK To start the clock, the program will be typed in, then the current 24-hour time plus one minute should be entered in locations SECS, MIN, HOUR. Then A7 must be entered in location A67E (for SYM), and 03 in location A67F. This is an interrupt vector, and will be explained later. Finally, enter ‘‘GO 0390; then, at the exact time which has been en- tered in SECS, MIN, HOUR, press ‘‘CR’’. The correct time will be kept from now on by the clock in SECS, MIN, HOUR. The variable COUNT stores 20th of a second units. It is initialized with the value 20, then decremented every 20th of a second. The decre- mentation signal is a hardware interrupt generated by an interval timer contained in the 6522. The flow-chart for the program appears on Fig 4-36. The first phase is the initialization phase where the timer is load- ed with the appropriate counter value to generate an_ interrupt after 50 milliseconds (1/20th of a second). Variable COUNT is initialized to the value 20, and the timer is started. Whenever the timer times out, 1/20th of a second has elapsed and an interrupt is generated. On receiving an interrupt, the microproces- sor will preserve its registers, reload the counter register of the timer with the appropriate constant for the generation of another interrupt 50 milliseconds later, and start the timer. The memory location COUNT will be decremented, since a 20th of a second has elapsed. The value of this location will be tested for the value ‘‘0.’’ If it is not “0,” exit from this routine occurs. Whenever COUNT goes through the value ‘‘0,”’ it is reset to ‘‘20,’’ and the memory location SECS (the number of seconds) is incremented by 1. Every time that SECS is incremented by 1, it is checked for the value **60.”’ If the value 60 is reached, SECS must be reset to ‘‘0’’ and MIN (the number of minutes) must be incremented. Similarly, MIN must be checked for the value ‘‘60.’’ If MIN has reached ‘‘60,”’ it is reset to **Q”’ and the number of hours is incremented. If the number of hours reaches ‘‘24,”’ it is reset to ‘‘0.’’ Exit from this routine then occurs. The program will remain dormant until the next interrupt is received. In order to display the contents of this time-of-day clock, the user needs simply to examine the contents of memory locations F4, F5, and F6. A display routine could also be written to display the value of these memory locations automatically. The program appears on Fig 4-37 and it is self-explanatory. The first segment of the program is the initialization segment INIT which sets the variable COUNT to ‘‘20’’ decimal = ‘‘14’’ hexadecimal.

The memory map for the timer appears on Fig 4-35. Timer 1 of the 6522 is used. The table showing the bits for condi- tioning this device appear on Fig 4-25 and 4-29. This timer can be used in either a one-shot mode or a free-running mode. In a one-shot mode, a single interrupt (and possibly an output pulse on PB7) will be gener- ated every time that the internal timer’s counter decrements to 0 (zero). In the free-running mode, the counter will be automatically re- loaded from the internal latch and continuous interrupts (and possibly a pulse on PB7) will be generated. Since the output pin PB7 is not used in this application, bit 7 of the ACR (auxiliary control register) will be set to ‘‘0’’. There is then a choice between a one-shot mode and a free- running mode. In the one-shot mode, the counter must be explicitly reloaded every time an interrupt is generated. In the free-running mode, the timer will automatically reload the internal counter from its latch. However, the interrupt flag must be cleared explicitly either by writing into T1C-H or by modifying the interrupt flag directly. The two options are essentially identical in terms of programming effort. The free-running mode may yield a more accurate time measurement, since the timer runs continuously and automatically going from the value ‘‘0’’ to the value corresponding to the 50 millisecond delay. Since a free-running mode has been used in the Morse program, we will use here a one-shot mode. The reader is encouraged to try using the alternative mode as an exercise. Using the one-shot mode is speci- fied by setting bit ACR6 to ‘‘0’’. All other bits of the ACR register are not used here and will be set to ‘‘0’’. Bits 7 and 8 are set to “‘0”’ in ACR, specifying the one-shot mode with PB7 disabled. Next, the interrupt flags register must be properly conditioned. When read, this register is viewed as the Interrupt Flag Register, IFR. When written into, it is called the Interrupt Enable Register, IER. In order to set specific bits of the IER, bit 7 of IER must be set to 1. For each ‘‘1”’ specified in register locations 0 through 6, a ‘‘1’’ will be written in the register, enabling the appropriate condition. A ‘‘0”’ in any bit position will not clear the specified bit position in the IER reg- ister, but leave the contents unchanged. Clearing is accomplished by specifying a ‘‘0’’ in bit position 7 and then specifying a ‘‘1’’ for every bit position that needs to be cleared. In this instance, we simply want to enable an interrupt from timer T1. We will therefore write at the memory location corresponding to IER the value ‘‘11000000,”’ or ‘**C0’’ hexadecimal (see Chapter 2 for detail). 115 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Finally, we must load the appropriate constant in the timer to gen- erate the delay which will generate and interrupt after 50 milli- seconds. The value C350 hexadecimal (= 50,000 decimal) is there- fore loaded into the counter. It will be noted in the routine INIT that first the low part of the latch is loaded, then the high part of the coun- ter is loaded. Loading into the high part of the counter results in trans- ferring the lower part of the latch automatically to the lower part of the counter and starting the timer at the same time. The INIT subroutine appears below: COUNT = $00F7 1/20 THS OF A SECOND SECS = $00F6 MIN = $00F5 HOUR = $00F4 ACR = $A00B TIMER MODE REGISTER TILL = $A006 LOW ORDER TIMER CT TICH = $A005 HIGH ORDER TIMER CT INIT LDA #$14 FIRST 20 COUNTS STA.

It will be noted that all additions within the routine CLOCK are performed in decimal mode. This is why the decimal flag is set with instruction SED. This way, when dis- playing the contents of the memory locations, they will be displayed one digit per LED in the usual decimal manner rather than in hexa- decimal format. Following execution of the INIT subroutine, a return occurs to the monitor. Provided no key is touched on the keyboard, nothing will happen until an interrupt time-out occurs. Upon detection of the 116 BASIC TECHNIQUES interrupt, an automatic branch will occur to the clock. Whenever an interrupt occurs in the 6502, it branches automatically to memory loca- tion FFFE,FFFF where it finds the interrupt vector, i.e., the next address to be installed in the program counter register. On the SYM, the user pre-loads memory locations A67E and A67F with the desired interrupt vector. The SYM monitor, which is in execu- tion at all times that the user program is not running, duplicates automatically the contents of memory locations A600 through A67F at addresses FF80 to FFFF. Thus, the contents of A67E and A67F are automatically copied by the SYM monitor to memory addresses FFFE, FFFF. At the time the interrupt occurs, it will branch to FFFE, FFFF, and it will find there the 16 bit contents to be installed in the program counter register. CLOCK is the interrupt routine which is entered every time the interrupt is received. It saves the registers P (the status register) and A (the accumulator). It does not need to save the other registers as it will not be needing them. It then reloads the timer counter with the value C350 hexadecimal = 50,000 decimal and starts the timer again. Loading the counter automatically clears the previous interrupt. The routine then checks successively whether the variable COUNT has reached the value ‘‘20’’, the variable SECS has reached the value “‘60’’, the variable MIN has reached the value ‘‘60’’, or the variable HOUR has reached the value ‘‘24’’. If any one of these variables has reached its limit value, it is reset to ‘‘0’’, as indicated in the flow-chart of Fig 4-36, or the program of Fig 4-37. Finally, the routine exits by restoring the two registers it had saved, A and P, and executing an RTI (Return From Interrupt). A HOME CONTROL PROGRAM A generalized home control program will monitor the status of a Time of Day Clock, as well as the status of an alarm system, and take various actions depending on the time of the day or on the alarm con- dition detected. We will use here the time of day clock program which has been developed above, display the time of the day, then depending upon the time of the day, specific actions will be taken by closing one or more relays. The program appears on Fig 4-38. The data-direction register of Port B is set to OF hexadecimal in order to enable the four low order bits for output (for the relays). Clearly, only those bit posi- tions actually connected to relays should be specified as outputs. The 117 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK others should remain inputs. As usual, as a precaution, an explicit in- struction is included in the program to turn the relays off. This is per- formed by depositing the value 00 hexadecimal at the memory loca- tion for IORB (Address AC00). Two built-in routines of the SYM monitor are used by this program to facilitate the output. The accumulator is loaded from memory loca- MINE @ LOC LINE wuu2 uw JTHIS 1S A SIMPLE HOME CONTROL ROUTINE WHICH RUNS uw) aap STHROUGH A LOOP EACH TIME [H&OUGH IT DISPLAYS [HE ued an }CURRENE TIME AND BRANCHES TO A NUMBER OF USER SUBROUTINES van)> uy WH HE SLAVICE UEVEC ES.

Similarly, the minutes are displayed by loading the accumulator from memory location MIN and calling OUTBYT. The OUTBYT routine is contained at memory location 82FA of the monitor and displays the contents of A as two hex digits. Next, the routine SCAND of the monitor (at memory address 8906) is used to scan the display once. Once the time has been displayed, an appropri- ate jump instruction will be executed if some set condition is met. Since these conditions will vary with each application, they have been left blank in the program and should be filled in by the reader. As an exercise, it is suggested that the relays be turned on at 2 or 3 specified times a few minutes apart. The noise made by the relays when closing indicates that the program is working correctly. This should be done prior to attaching any actual device to the relays. . A TELEPHONE DIALER We will develop here a program capable of dialing a number once it has been deposited in the memory. With a regular telephone (rotary dial), pulses are merely sent on the line. This should be simple at this point, and we are going to develop here a program capable of generat- LOW TONE ¢.

The table of telephone frequencies appears on Fig 4-39. Each digit will cause two tones to be generated. The various frequencies have been chosen carefully by the telephone company in order to avoid the possibility of spurious harmonics, and to use the smallest bandwidth possible. They range from 697 Hertz to 1477 Hertz as indicated on the illustration. Our program will generate two tones simultaneously, which will be fed into the same speaker.

This result can be obtained by using two timers. We will use here Timer A and Timer B of our microprocessor board. Each timer will generate a frequency, and the output of both timers will be sent to the loudspeak- er. For more reliable results, the use of an operational amplifier for the speaker is strongly recommended. However, the program would remain unchanged. The flow-chart for the program appears on Fig 4-40. The number of digits for the telephone number is irrelevant. This program will accommodate a telephone number of any length. The first digit to be ‘‘dialed’’ is obtained from the memory. An equiv- alence table is kept in memory, which specifies the periods for the two tones to be generated for each digit. More precisely, this table specifies the half period, and since two tones are associated with every digit, this table will use four bytes for every digit. The value of the digit must therefore be multiplied by four in order to be used as an index to this table. The two table values will be obtained and loaded respectively in Timer A and Timer B which will be started. The two tones will then be generated automatically for a specified duration (say half a second or one second). Then a silence interval will be enforced, and the next digit will be fetched from memory. The process will be repeated until all digits have been dialed. The flow-chart is straightforward. Let us examine now the program. The complete program is shown on Fig 4-41. LINE @ Loc CODE LINE oon) qu sTHIS IS A PROGRAM WHICH DIALS PRE STORED q003 «- «anoD TELEPHONE NUMBERS.

The multiplication by four will be performed by two successive left shifts.

Let us compute here the half periods corresponding to each of the frequencies which have been generated. Seven frequencies must be generated: 697, 770, 852, 941, 1209, 1336, 1477. As an example, for a frequency N = 697Hz, the corresponding peri- od is 1/N = 1434.7 microseconds. The half period is therefore 717 mi-. croseconds or 02CD hexadecimal. DESIRED HALF FREQUENCY PERIOD N =HALF PERIOD — 1.7 HEX for Ex. 4-4 Fig. 4-44: Computing the Timer Constants Similarly, the half periods for the other frequencies appear on Fig 4-44, The corresponding hexadecimal values have been used in the program of Fig 4-41. Let us now examine some possible improvements to this basic pro- gram. Exercise 4-4: Some improvement is possible as to the precision with 126 BASIC TECHNIQUES which the frequencies are generated. Referring to chapter 2 of this book or else to a hardware manual, you will notice that Timer I in free-running mode does not generate a tone of exactly the expected frequency. In fact, it adds either 1.5 microseconds or 2 microseconds to the half-period value that has been loaded in the counter register. Recompute the half frequencies that should be used assuming that both Timer I and Timer 2 add on the average 1.75 microseconds to every half-period. Note: Don’t look yet, but the answer is on Fig. 4-44. Exercise 4-5: This program can also be improved functionally by add- ing a programmable ‘‘silence’’ symbol. This is useful in some coun- tries for international dialing or within a company to obtain access to an outside line. One must first dial some digits to get a line then wait for a specified duration before dialing the actual number. Incorporate this change in the above program. A hardware improvement for cleaner frequencies is shown below.

The only significant difference between KIM and SYM for the purposes of these exercises will be the location of the PIO’s in the memory map. The interested reader is referred to Fig 2-4 for the actual KIM memory map. Since the programs are written in assembly-level language using symbolic labels and operands, most of them would be identical for SYM. It is only during the assembly process (either 127 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK through an automatic assembler such as the one presented in Appen- dix A, or through manual assembly), i.e., at the time the hexadecimal representation for the instructions is generated, that differences will appear due to the differences in memory assignments.

This sound starts at the minimum frequency Nin, and increases dur- ing time T up to a maximum value called Nmax. The tone frequency drops then instantaneously to Nmjy, and resumes its upward progres- sion until time 2T, and so on. The flow-chart for generating a sound of increasing frequencies is shown on Fig 4-47. In addition, the maxi- mum frequency should not exceed Nmgx, or else the sound will be- come inaudible (or else cannot be generated by the speaker any more). The flow-chart for repeatedly generating the ramp is shown on Fig 4-48. The program is shown on Fig 4-49. It approximates the shape of Fig 4-46. >SIREN bd PA =$1700 PAL =$1701 + 0000: FF DELAY .BYT $FF «=340 0040: AI O1 LDA #$01 0042: 80 O01 17 STA FAD 0045: 80 00 17 STA PA 0048; EE 00 17 SWITCH INC PA 0048: AS& 00 LUX DELAY 0043: CA LOOF Le xX OO4E: DO FE BNE LOOF 0050: C4 00 DEC DELAY 00S2: 4C 48 00 JMF SWITCH SYMBOL TABLE: FA 1700 FAL 1701 DELAY 0000 SWITCH 0048 LOOF 004 Fig 4-49: Siren program for the flow chart of Fig 4-47 The speaker is attached to the IORA register (memory address 1700), in bit position zero. It can be attached directly. For a better sound, the circuit of Fig 4-50 is recommended. The data direction reg- ister DDRA for this PIO must first be configured so that bit zero is an output: LDA #$01 STA PAD DDRA 129 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK DA Fig. 4-50: Connecting a Speaker (improved) The speaker can then be turned on. Turning the speaker on and off can be easily accomplished by a programming trick. This consists of using the INC instruction. This instruction will increment the contents of the designated register and will generate successive numbers which will be alternately odd and even. This guarantees that the right-most bit (bit 0, to which the speaker is connected) will switch from the value zero to the value one. This allows turning the speaker on and off with only a single instruction, versus two if a different pattern had to be loaded in the accumulator and then transferred to the ORA. Let us turn the speaker off. The speaker will remain off for a duration speci- fied by the constant ‘SDELAY.”’ The delay loop is the following: STA PA INITIAL VALUE IN ORA SWITCH INC PA LDX DELAY LOOP DEX BNE LOOP Once the value DELAY has been used, it is decremented: DEC DELAY This way, the next time around, the delay value will be smaller and the tone will be higher in pitch. The speaker must now be switched: JMP SWITCH The program above implements the upramp of the siren sound as shown on flow chart 4-47. Exercise 4-7: Complete the program as per the flow-chart of Fig 4-48 130 BASIC TECHNIQUES to generate successive upramps, and generate a true siren sound. Exercise 4-8: Write a siren program which goes up in pitch, then down, then up again, etc. SENSING AN INPUT PULSE In this program, a switch will be depressed and the program must measure the duration during which the switch is held down, then beep n times. through the loudspeaker; where n is the time during which the switch was depressed, expressed in seconds. The speaker is connected to bit 0 of the IORA as in the preceding program. The switch is connected to bit 7 of the IORA, for easy detection. The connection is illustrated on Fig 4-51. Fig. 4-51: Connecting Switch and Speaker The flow-chart for the program is shown on Fig 4-52. The delay duration during which the key is pressed is measured in units of .25 seconds, then converted into seconds. The speaker is then activated and timed. The program is shown on Fig 4-53. It follows the previous flow- chart and should be self-explanatory. PULSE MEASUREMENT In this program, the time during which the key was depressed will be measured, and a sound will be generated.

The flow-chart is shown on Fig 4-58 and the delay subroutine is shown on Fig 4-59. Prior to using the subroutine, the constant F must be loaded with the appro- priate delay duration which will determine the frequency of the sound. In order to generate music which has some resemblance to actual tunes, it is necessary to generate a sound of specified frequency and also to control its duration. The musical symbols used to indicate the duration of a tone are shown below: =2 Musical Symbols $2 ; (. = +50%) d-=6 O=8 O.= 12 The dot which may follow a note indicates plus 50% duration. Over- all, there are seven possible durations. Additionally, it is necessary to represent a ‘‘silence’’. At a minimum, this information will require three bits in an encoded format, or else four bits in a decoded format. (A decoded format is one where the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 are represented by their actual binary representation.) To represent the notes of one octave, A, B, C, D, E, F, G must be 137 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK represented, as well as the six half notes between them. This represents a total of 13 keys for one octave. If more than one octave should be used, then one full byte should be allocated to represent the tone. If the reader is limited by the amount of memory available on his board, he may wish to restrict his tunes to 16 possible keys and would then be able to use an encoding where the left half of every byte represents the duration and the right part of every byte represents the notes. Here, we will play simple tunes and use a straightforward encoding technique, where one full byte is allocated to the duration, and one full byte is allocated to the note frequency. Three examples, a Mo- zart Sonatine, a Bach Chorale and a popular children’s song are shown on Fig 4-60, 4-61 and 4-62. The flow-chart for the corresponding music program is shown on Fig 4-63 and the program itself appears on Fig 4-64.

We have learned how to realize simple hardware interfaces, and how to develop simple applications software to sense and control an external environment. Although the complexity of the applications presented here has been kept low, more complex applications could be developed using the same simple hardware. We are now ready to pro- ceed to more complex programs and interfaces in Chapter 5: Indus- trial and Home Applications. 144 CHAPTER 5 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS INTRODUCTION The basic skills for connecting simple devices to a 6502-based micro- computer board, and for developing the basic applications software, have been presented in Chapter 4. Here, more complex devices will be interfaced to the 6502 board, and more complex applications software will be developed. The applications presented are typical home and industrial control situations. In the next chapter, microcomputer peripherals will be interfaced to the 6502 board. The first application presented here will be a traffic-control simula- tion. Traffic lights will be simulated by LED’s on the board and appli- cation programs of increasing complexity will be developed. The pres- ence of cars will even be detected by simulated loop detectors, normally embedded in the pavement, and simulated here by push-button switches. The skills required for developing these hardware and software interfaces are those required by a real industrial control environment. Then, a 5 x7 dot matrix LED will be interfaced to this system. This is a technique frequently used in the display of data. Dot matrices are used, not just for LED’s, but to represent characters on a television screen, or on a dot matrix printer. This dot matrix will be used to dis- play actual switch values as sensed by the 6502 board. Tones will then be generated with the loudspeaker in order to de- velop simple music programs. The set of switches will be used to spe- cify which note should be played. The skills acquired in controlling the sound of the speaker will also be used by the next program to generate 145 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK sounds such as a siren. The next application program will implement a burglar alarm system for a home or a building. A light beam will be used as one of the de- vices which detect a possible intrusion. Whenever the light beam is interrupted the alarm will be sounded through the speaker. Many additional improvements will also be proposed in the exercises. The speed of an ordinary DC motor will then be controlled by the computer. It is, in fact, quite simple to control the speed of a motor using digital techniques. These techniques and the required hardware inter- face will be presented. In the next application, a heat sensing device will be connected to the microprocessor board, and the temperature measurement will be output in the form of an audible sound. The higher the temperature, the higher the pitch of the tone will be. This will introduce the concept of analog to digital conversion, and the actual hardware and software techniques used to effect this conversion will be presented here. The reader is encouraged to build the actual applications board #2 required by the programs in this chapter. All components used on this board are low in cost, and normally readily available from an elec- tronics shop (except perhaps for the digital to analog converter which must often be ordered from a distributor). Photographs of the actual board are shown on Fig 5-1, 5-2 and 5-3. Fig. 5-1; The Application Board #2 146 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS Underside shows wire-wrap For convenience Application Cables connect to board 147 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK In view of the limited number of ports normally available on the output of the microcomputer board, four connectors labeled H1, H2, H3, and H4 have been installed on the board to facilitate the connec- tions and avoid rewiring between programs. These connectors have been designed to mate directly to the SYM external connection cables but could be readily adapted to the output of other microcomputer boards.

(9) Fig. 5-Sa: H1 and H2 Connectors A wire-wrap technique has been used to connect the wires to the pins on the back of the board as shown on Fig 5-2. It is naturally possible to solder the wires. Do not forget the usual precautions in handling LSI circuits: all instruments (including yourself) should be grounded. As a final detail, the pot trimmer (variable resistor) connected in series with the loudspeaker should not be set to the value zero. If it were, the pot might burn when power is applied to the speaker, in the case of a board like the SYM where the speaker would be connected to one of the buffered outputs (in addition the output transistor is also likely to burn out). An additional resistor in series with the speaker is recom- 149 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK mended for this reason. The goal of this chapter is to teach you actual applications tech- niques which should enable you to create either home applications of significant complexity or to solve actual industrial control problems in a realistic environment. At the end of this chapter, you should have acquired all the basic skills required to start developing complex ap- plications on your own. If specific interfacing problems should be en- countered, reference C207 ‘‘Microprocessor Interfacing Techniques’’ is suggested. Important note: In order to use one more input-output line, tran- sistor 1 (centermost) of the four buffered ports of the SYM is bypassed. The programs presented in this section have been designed to be improved. The alert reader will notice that many improvements in style are possible. Such improvements are proposed or described in the exercise section at the end of every application. When reading the programs, it is.suggested that you watch for such possible im- provements in the coding. However, it is only in the next chapter that we will present optimized programs, once all other problems have been solved. Again, in this chapter, a large number of exercises will be proposed. It is strongly recommended that most of these exercises be solved either on paper or on a real microcomputer board. They have been carefully designed to insure that concepts presented in the preced- ing section were actually learned, and that you can use them creative- ly. If you can solve the exercises without looking at this book, you will have effectively learned how to resolve your own applications prob- lems.

The diagram of the intersection appears in Fig 5-6. It has two directions of traffic flow identified as A and B. In traffic control jar- gon they are called the ‘‘phases.’’ The two traffic lights for both direc- tions of a phase, such as the two traffic lights for arterial A, will dis- play the same color (green, yellow, or red) at the same time. Similarly, the other two traffic lights for phase B will be turning on simultane- ously. These four sets of traffic lights will be simulated on our board by four sets of green, yellow, and red LED’s. Additionally, we will as- sume that vehicle loop detectors have been embedded in the pavement at the locations marked A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 in the diagram of Fig 5-6. 8 ELECTOR comes oe cx eee PETECTOR al G OETECTOR Fig. 5-6: The Traffic Control System GREEN A YELLOW A YELLOW 8 RED 8 LED PAIRS ~ o w a o wD - eo 3 8 3 8 Fig. 5-7: Connecting the LED's 151 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK They are called ‘‘loop detectors,’’ later. Let us first examine the hardware connection of our ‘‘traffic lights’’ (in fact, the LEDs) to the microprocessor system. Referring to Fig 5-7, we are connecting a 7404 driver to the IORA register of the 6522 #1. The LED pairs appear on the right of the illustration. For clarity, only one LED is shown on each line. In fact, two LEDs are connected in parallel on each line since there are two sets of traffic lights for every phase. The actual connection is shown on Fig 5-8. In order to config- ure the low order 6 bits of IORA as outputs, the direction register, DDRA, which appears to its left will have to be loaded with the proper bit pattern: ‘‘00111111.’’ A driver (the 7404) is necessary in order to supply enough current to light up the LED’s. and their role will be explained CONNECTOR SWITCH Al Fig. 5-8: Actual LED Connection TURN RA ON AND YB OFF TURN RA OFF AND YB ON Fig. 5-9: Night Pattern 152 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS We are now going to develop programs for several traffic control algorithms.

The traffic lights are flashing red in one direction and amber in the other one. This traffic control strategy is used for isolated intersections with a low amount of traffic at night. The flow-chart corresponding to the algorithm appears on Fig 5-9. It states that the red for one direction and the yellow for the other.one are on or off simultaneously. They are both kept on or off for a fixed duration called ‘‘DELAY’’. The program corresponding to this flow chart appears on Fig 5-10. It consists of a main program called ‘“NIGHT’’ and a delay subroutine called ‘‘DLYA.’’ Let us examine the program. Referring back to Fig 5-7, the Data Direction Register for the 6522 #1 must first be properly configured so that the lower six bits of IORA will be the outputs which will drive the LEDs. This DDRA is located at memory location A003 and the IORA is located at memory location AO01 (refer to Fig 3-6 for the 6522 memory map). The first two instructions load the required contents in the Data Di- rection Register: NIGHT LDA #$3F STA $A003 SET DDRA We then simply have to deposit the appropriate pattern in the IORA register to turn the required LEDs on or off. The pattern required for addressing each LED pair appears on Fig 5-11. GREEN A YELLOW A REDA GREEN B YELLOW B RED B 00000001 01 Fig. 5-11: Pattern to Address the LED Pairs 154 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS The next two lines of the program turn on the yellow for A by de- positing the hexadecimal value ‘‘02”’ in the IORA register. NIT2 LDA #$02 STA $A001 SET IORA A delay must then be implemented. The delay value is deposited in the accumulator and then stored at memory location ‘‘00’’ where it will be found by the delay routine. A subroutine jump then occurs to DLYA. LDA #$FC STA $00 JSR DLYA Once the specified delay has elapsed, the hexadecimal value ‘‘20’’ is deposited into the IORA. This will turn off yellow in direction A and simultaneously turn on the red for direction B. As before, the delay duration is deposited in memory location ‘‘0,’’ and a Jump occurs again to the DLYA subroutine: LDA #$20 STA $A001 LDA #$FC STA $00 JSR DLYA Finally, upon expiration of a specified delay, the program loops back to location NIT2 where it turns on YA and turns off RB again: JMP NIT2 The operation of the program should be completely straightforward at this point. Let us examine the delay subroutine. The principle of delay loops is to load a register or a memory location with a value and then increment or decrement it until it reaches a set value. Since the reader is presumably familiar with the decrementation technique (see ref C202), we are here going to use an incrementation technique for a change. However, it requires a few more instructions. An improve- ment will be suggested in an exercise at the end of this section. The delay subroutine appears in Fig 5-12. Since the delay to be implement- 155 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK ed is of the order of tens of seconds, it cannot be implemented as a sin- gle loop. A single loop delay would load a register with the value 255 (hexadecimal FF) and decrement or increment from there. The result- ing delay would not be sufficient. In order to implement the longer delay, we will use nested loops: an inner delay loop, and at least one outer delay loop which will be executed every time that the inner one has counted out. Let us examine the program. Register X is used as the outer loop counter. It is loaded with the hexadecimal value 9D. This value will be justified later on: DLYA LDX #$9D The second instruction of the program loads register Y with the hex- adecimal value 71. Y is the inner loop counter: LPXA LDY #$71 The next three instructions implement the inner delay loop: LPYA INY CPY #$00 BNE LPYA Y is incremented until it reaches the value 0. Every time that the inner delay loop counts out (i.e., that Y reaches the value 0), the outer coun- ter X is incremented. This is the sixth instruction in the program: INX Every time that X is incremented, it is compared to the value 0, and as long as the value 0 is not reached, the branch occurs back to LPXA at the beginning of the inner delay loop: CPX #$00 BNE LPXA The resulting delay so far is, therefore, the inner delay value times the number of times that the outer delay loop has been executed. 156 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS Every time that this outer delay loop times out, our overall delay counter at location 00 is incremented by 1: INC $00 This is a third delay loop. The contents of memory location 00 are tested against the value 00 every time that they are incremented. Whenever the value 00 is reached, we exit from this routine. As long as it does not reach the value 0, we go back to location DLYA, 1.e., at the beginning of the previous delay loop to execute the previous procedure again: LDA $00 CMP #$00 BNE DLYA RTS The overall structure of the program is shown on Fig 5-12, with its three nested delay loops, and the timing of the instructions. The overall de- lay will be equal to the contents of memory location 00 times the outer loop delay times the inner loop delay. Let us compute this total delay duration. The timing of the instructions appears on Fig 5-12. Let us examine the inner loop first. Every time that it is executed, three in- structions are executed lasting seven microseconds. To keep things simple, we will require this inner loop to generate a delay of approxi- mately 1 millisecond. The outer loop #1 will be responsible for imple- menting a 100,000 millisecond delay (0.1 second).

This is 128 in binary, the middle of the range which can be obtained with 8 bits. Running through the inner delay loop will result in incrementing Y 128 times. The total duration of the loop will, therefore, be 7 X 128 = 896 microseconds. Since we want to obtain a delay of approximately 1,024 microseconds for this inner loop, we must modify the value to be loaded in register Y. Let us compute it. We want this value N to be such that N X 7 = 1000. N must, therefore, be equal to 1000 +7 = 142.86. The nearest integer is 143. Since, in this particular delay sub- routine, we are incrementing the value contained in .Y, rather than de- crementing it, we want to load in Y the value 256 — 143 = 113 decimal or 71 hexadecimal. Let us now compute the duration of the delay introduced by the outer delay loop #1. One traversal of the outer delay loop will result in a delay equal to the duration of the first instruction of the program (at address DLYA) plus the duration of the inner delay loop, plus the fol- lowing three instructions up to and including the branch BMI LPXA. The duration is: 2+ 7X 143 + 7 = 1010 microseconds. We want this outer delay loop #1 to implement a delay of .1 second or 100,000 microseconds. The number of times P that it must be exe- cuted must, therefore, be such that 1010 x P = 100000. P must there- fore be equal to 100000 + 1010 = 99. Again, since we are using an incrementing technique for the delay, the number to be deposited in X must be such that it is incremented exactly 99 times before it overflows into the value ‘‘00.’’ The number to be deposited in X must, therefore, be equal to 256 — 99 = 157 in decimal or 9D hexadecimal. Let us now verify the total duration of the delay we have implemented. The outer loop delay is equal to 99 x 1010 = 99990 microseconds. The remaining four instructions to be ex- ecuted at the end of the DLYA subroutine represent a duration of 5 +3 +2 + 3 = 13 microseconds. 2 4.<’s must be added for the first instruction of DLYA. 99990 + 15 = 100005 microseconds. This represents nearly exactly a .1 second delay. In fact, it is so close to .1 second that you should be able to clock this routine with a stop watch and verify the accuracy of this method. A word of caution: Remember that this subroutine uses an in- crementing technique. The number to be deposited at memory loca- tion 00 will control the number of tenths of a second of delay that the 158 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS subroutine will introduce. However, the number to be deposited at location 00 should be the complement of the actual number of tenths of a second since it will be incremented until it overflows through 0. In other words, to obtain a .4 second delay, you should not deposit the value 4 at location 00 but deposit the value 256 — 4 = 252 decimal = FC hexadecimal. This is what we did in the program of Fig 5-10 (night mode algorithm). The time has come now to improve this delay routine: Exercise 5-1: Rewrite the delay subroutine by using a decrementation technique rather than an incrementation technique. Recompute the numbers to be loaded in X and Y so that the resulting delay introduced by the subroutine is approximately .1 second. What is the advantage of using a decrementing technique rather than an incrementing technique? Caution: If you decide to use the decrementing technique for the delay, do not forget to change location O9FC in the memory. A differ- ent constant must be loaded prior to calling this routine. Exercise 5-2: Modify the program so that the lights flash every second. Also, shorten it by using EOR to toggle the lights from one configur- ation to another. Day Mode In this mode, each traffic light goes through a green, yellow, and red sequence in the usual manner. As long as the light in direction A is green or yellow, the light for B is red, and vice versa. The flow-chart corresponding to the control algorithm appears on Fig 5-13. The ar- rows on the right of the flow-chart indicate the length of time during which each of the lights is on. If we call D1 the green duration for A, D2 the yellow duration for A, D3 and D4 respectively the durations of the green and yellow for B, we can see, by inspecting the diagram, that the total duration of a cycle is D1 + D2 + D3 + D4. At a real intersection, these delays are subject to constraints. In par- ticular, the cycle of the intersection is normally between one minute and two minutes. The maximum is due to the fact that most drivers will not tolerate a red light duration of more than two minutes in any direction: they will simply go through once their patience is exhausted, assuming that the traffic light is malfunctioning. In addition, the 159 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK GREEN AON REO BON REO AON GREEN B ON YELLOW B ON Fig. 5-13: Day Mode (Off Commands not shown) other delays are constrained by the clearances necessary for a vehicle or a pedestrian to clear the intersection once he has entered it. The yel- low time is also called the clearance time and represents the time that is necessary for a car to clear the intersection. The green may have any minimal duration as long as no pedestrians are crossing the intersec- tion. However, if pedestrians may cross this intersection, the mini- mum red duration should be such that a pedestrian may safely clear the intersection. The duration of the red in direction B, for example, is equal to D1 + D2. If we assume, for example, that the minimum yel- low in direction A is equal to 3 seconds and that the minimum red for direction B is equal to 10 seconds, we can see by inspecting Fig 5-13 that the minimum duration for the green in direction A is D1 = 10 — 3 = 7 seconds. Mathematically: If we set: GREEN A = DI YELLOW A = D2 GREEN B = D3 YELLOW B = D4 Then: RED A = D3 + D4 RED B = D1 + D2 In general, thecycleis fixed, andD1 + D2 + D3 + D4 = CONSTANT. In our program, we will use faster cycles than in real life. This is simply because it is frustrating to wait for one or more minutes in 160 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS order to observe the correct functioning of the traffic lights. For prac- tical purposes, a cycle time of 10 to 20 seconds is desirable for testing purposes, and the reader should now have acquired the skills to adjust the delay easily, so that his microcomputer could be connected to a real intersection.

Its interpretation should be completely straight 162 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS forward now. The reader is strongly encouraged to try different time constants than the ones indicated in the program and verify that the timing is what he expects. Let us now consider improvements to this traffic control algorithm. For example, you can modify the program so that the yellow clear- ance, the red clearance and the cycle durations be specified by the length of time one of the switches is depressed after starting the program. Exercise 5-3: Implement a ‘‘dynamic response algorithm ’’ : the green time for arterial A will be extended by five seconds every time a request is sensed on the ‘‘loop detector’’ (a switch), up to a maximum green duration of three minutes. Exercise 5-4: Implement ‘‘pedestrian calls’’ by using the switches. Green should be give to the pedestrian as soon as possible, while respec- ting the minimum clearances. Exercise 5-5 : Implement a ‘‘police switch’’: by pushing one of the switches, the intersection will sequence manually through its sequence. If pushed quickly twice, the intersection reverts to automatic. DOT MATRIX LED We will use herea5 x 7 dot-matrix LED display (see Fig 5-15). This type of matrix is used in a number of applications. For example, dot matrix printers often use a5 x 7 dot matrix in order to print charac- ters on paper. TV monitors or CRT displays also use a dot matrix in order to display characters in the screen. 5 x 7 is the standard mini- mal dot matrix for an acceptable representation of characters but it is not the best in terms of readability. Larger dox matrices, such as7 x 9, are used for improved readability, at increased cost. In this applica- 163 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK O C) O O O O O OOO O20: © OO Oro OO OOOO - O00 OOO 'O-0 02 Fig. 5-15: A 5x7 Dot Matrix LED tion we will directly connect a 5 x 7 LED dot matrix to the I/O register B of the 6522 #1 and to the 6522 #3. Ideally, drivers should be used with LED’s in order to get sufficient light intensity. Here, to minimize the parts count, we will connect the LED directly. This means that on the actual board the LED’s will be dim and the display somewhat hard to see. For improved performance add drivers on the lines. The con- nection of the LED dot matrix is shown in Fig 5-16. The 7 rows num- bered 1 through 7 are connected to bits 7,5,4,3,2,1, and 0 respectively of the I/O register B of the 6522 #1. Bit 6 of this IORB is not available on the SYM board because the monitor dedicates bit 6 to the cassette input function. The state of bit 6 will, therefore, be indifferent in what will follow. The five columns of the LED display, labeled respectively 1 through 5, are connected to bits 0 through 4 of the IORB of the 6522 #3. This is illustrated in Fig 5-16. The two IORB’s reside at addresses A000 and ACO00 respectively. 164 VIA #1 tORA A00!

Any charac- ter of the alphabet can be generated witha 5 x 7 matrix. Here we will, for example, display all the hexadecimal characters, i.e., the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. Let us examine their encoding. An-LED dot ‘‘on’’ will be represented by a ‘‘0’’ bit. An LED dot ‘‘off’’ will be represented by a ‘‘1’’ bit. This is because an LED will be turned on by grounding its row connection.

Naturally, the user is free to choose any other pattern and other encodings may be used. For example, as an exercise, the user might want to display a ‘‘0’’ with square edges rather than with round edges. It should be a simple matter to modify the table accordingly. The equivalent binary representation of the encoding appears on the right of Fig 5-18. The hexadecimal equivalent is indicated at the bot- tom of the binary table. The reader should remember that row 6 is not used. It is indifferent, i.e., can be assumed to be either a ‘‘0’”’ or a ‘*j’’, For example, let us look at the hexadecimal encoding for charac- ter ‘‘O’’ on Fig 5-18 . The first column has the value ‘‘1000001’’, or more exactly ‘‘1-000001’’ where a ‘‘-’’ represents the value of bit 6, which is not used. Let us assume for example that bit 6 will be set at ‘**O’’. Then, the value of the first column is ‘‘10000001’’ or ‘‘81’’ hexa- decimal. Similarly, the value of the second column is (adding a 0 for bit 6) *$00111110’’ or ‘*3E’’ hexadecimal. The five columns for the digit ‘‘0’’ are therefore: 81, 3E, 3E, 3E, 81 Let us look now at character ‘‘1’’. It is shown on Fig 5-19 and the re- quired binary encoding appears on the right of the illustration. Assuming that bit 6 is a ‘‘0,”’ the equivalent hexadecimal represen- tations are: BF, BF, 00, BF, BF If we assume that bit 6 is set at the value 1, then the encoding would be: FF, FF, 40, FF, FF Any one of the values ‘‘0”’ or ‘‘1’’ for bit 6 may be used for any one of the columns as long as we do not use bit 6 for any purpose. A complete table for encoding the characters ‘‘0’’ through ‘‘F’’ is shown on Fig 5-21. 167 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Exercise 5-7: Show the shape of the characters 0 through F using this table. Exercise 5-8: Rewrite the table in a more consistent way assuming that bit 6 is always ‘‘0”’. CONFIGURE ROWS AS OUTPUTS CONFIGURE COLUMN AS OUTPUTS GET CHARACTER (REPEAT NO DELAY Fig. 5-20: Driving a Dot-Matrix LED The flow chart for the LED dot matrix program appears on Fig 5-21. Both rows and columns are configured as outputs by loading the appropriate bit patterns into the corresponding data direction registers of the 6522. The dot pattern for the character must then be displayed. The dots will be displayed in succession for every column of the LED. For each character, the program must therefore access five successive 168 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS entries in the dot-matrix table, corresponding to the five columns of dots required to display the character. This particular program will then cycle and display the character indefinitely. The dots are dis- played by turning off the columns (erasing the previous pattern), then enabling the row pattern corresponding to the desired dot positions, and enabling the column on which they are to be illuminated. Then, the next column must be displayed. All dots should be lit up for the same period of time, if they are to appear as having a uniform inten- sity to the observer. Further, all columns must be scanned in a time period of less than 1/10 of a second if no visible blinking is to occur. The delay routine at the end of the program is adjucted accordingly. The program appears below and on the next page.

To solve this, a more detailed program can be written to take the number of LED’s enabled for each column into account for timing compensation. Fig 5-22: (continued) The program is shown here.

The location of the character to be displayed is, for example, 90 for the character ‘‘0,’’ 95 for character ‘‘1,”’ and so on, as indicated in the ta- ble at the beginning of the program. (An improved program will be suggested below.) As an example, if we are to display the character **2,’’ then the value 9A must have been deposited at memory address 01. Since we will need to point successively to 5 table entries for each of the columns corresponding to this character, we will need to gen- erate the addresses 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D, and 9E. In order not to destroy our original character pointer ‘‘9A,’’ we will use two extra memory locations at addresses 02 and 03 to contain the current pointer to the column dots being displayed. Since we are operating in page 0, the contents of memory location 03 will be set to ‘‘0’’ (high order byte of the address). This is accomplished by: LDA _ #$00 STA $03 Whenever we enter the main display loop, register X will be assumed to have the value ‘‘00’’. It will be used to disable an output register: LDX #$00 171 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The first column we will point to is the one at the address specified in location 01 (the character table entry pointer). We therefore trans- fer the contents of memory location 01 to address 02: RPTCHA LDA $01 STA $02 Register Y is used as a shift counter and, at the same time, to enable selectively one of the columns. It is set initially to the value ‘‘10”’ in order to enable the first column: LDY #$10 The ‘‘1”’ will then be shifted right by one bit position, in order to en- able the next column, and so on. When the ‘‘1’’ finally falls off the register, all 5 columns have been displayed for the character, and the loop may be restarted. Since this register is not only used to enable one of the columns but also to count up to 5, it is labeled as a shift-coun- ter. The dot pattern for the current column is obtained by accessing the table entry at address 02: NXTCOL LDA _ $02 The dot pattern is now contained in the accumulator. Let us display .it. All columns are first disabled by loading ‘‘0’’ in the IORB: STX $ACO00 The accumulator contents are then output to the IORB to enable the rows: STA $A000 Finally, the appropriate column is enabled and the selected LED will light up: STY $ACO00O 172 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS An LED will light up only when it is connected to an active column and to a grounded (0) row. Each ‘‘0’’ in the dot pattern will light up the corresponding dot in the selected column. Memory location ‘‘02”’ is then incremented, in order to point to the next dot pattern entry for the character. We must then shift our col- umn pointer right by one position and determine whether we have already displayed all columns or not: INC $02 TYA Y CANNOT BE SHIFTED DIRECTLY LSR A TAY STORE RESULT BACK IN A CPY #$00 BNE DLY3 JMP RPTCHA Since it is no possible to shift the Y register directly, it must first be transferred to the accumulator, which is then shifted, and the contents of the accumulator are copied back into register Y. The contents of the accumulator are then tested for the value ‘‘0’’ (a program im- provement may be suggested to the present coding). If the accumula- tor is ‘‘0,’’ we are finished and have displayed all 5 columns. Otherwise, we must implement a delay during which the LED will light up and then display the next column: DLY3 LDX #$FF INX CPX #$00 BMI LP3 JMP NXTCOL Index register X is used as a counter, and a traditional delay is achieved by incrementing the index register a reasonable number of times, then branching back to the next column at address NXTCOL. 173 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Program improvements: In order to improve this program by re- ducing the number of instructions, let us first consider some coding modifications. Then, we will examine improvements to the functions performed. Exercise 5-9: Rewrite the delay routine DLY3 sothat it uses fewer in- structions. Exercise 5-10: Inspect the least three instructions of the routine NXT- COL, from address 01A6 on (see Fig 5-22). Can you suggest another way to test whether the last ‘‘1’’ bit in Y has been shifted out? Exercise 5-11: Add a routine to this program so that, instead of depos- iting a pointer to the table entry at address 01, one needs to deposit only the actual character value. With this routine, the user must be able to deposit an actual value between ‘‘0’’ and “‘F,”’ and have this pro- gram display it correctly. In order to do this, one must convert the character value to the table value. For example, ‘‘0’’ will correspond to “90” (see table at the beginning of program 5-3), ‘‘1’’ will correspond to ‘95’’, and so on. The equation is: Starting address = 90 + code x 5. Note: Instead of performing a formal multiplication by five, one can use a shortcut: Remember that shifting left by one bit position is equivalent to a multiplication by 2 and that 5 = 2+ 2 +1. A mult- iplication by 4 can be accomplished by 2 successive left shifts. Exercise 5-12: Write an additional routine which will display a string of characters. It will assume that the starting address of the string of characters is contained at memory location 01. Each character will be displayed for one second. The string of characters may be terminated by any code which is not between 0 and F. The program will then pause for two seconds and display the string again. Let us now consider improvements to the functions of the program. We will add four switches and develop a program which displays the hexadecimal value of the switches. 174 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS DISPLAYING SWITCH VALUES We will read here the values of four input switches in binary, and display the corresponding hexadecimal character on the LED matrix. The flow-chart for the algorithm appears on Fig 5-23. The program reads the four switches, then points to the beginning of the conversion table as defined in the previous program, then computes the table off- set for the character to be displayed. The address in the table for the binary code corresponding to the dots to be illuminated is obtained by multiplying the value of the character by 5. This can be verified by in- READ SWITCHES AlTOA4 POINT TO CONVERSION TABLE BASE COMPUTE OFFSET =CHARACTER X 5 DISPLAY CHARACTER Fig. 5-23: Displaying a Switch Value specting the table shown on Fig 5-22. The address of the first column to be displayed is then computed and deposited in address 01 in page 0. The previous program is used to display the character on the LED display. The program is: Connection: Connector A to Connector H2 Connector AA to Connector H3 This program reads the switches A! to A4 to compute one of 16 hexadecimal values and display it. This program uses program 5-3 as a subroutine. Before execution, change program 5-3 as follows: 1) At loc. OLAA, data 4C should be changed to 60 (60 is the machine code for RTS). 2) The timing compensation constant at loc. O01AE is FF, this should be changed to FO, because this program enables the last column longer than program 5-3.

The first two instructions config- ure the data direction register for port A as input, so that the switches can be read: RDCHA LDA _ #$00 STA $A003 Then, the contents of switches Al through A4 are read. This program ignores the value of switches B1 through B4. LDA $A001 AND #$0F MASK B1-B4 The contents indicated by the switches are saved in index register Y: TAY The start address of the table (90) is then stored at memory address 01: LDX #$90 STX $01 176 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS We will add to this start address the required offset to access the first column of dots for the character specified by the switches. The offset is computed by multiplying the value of the switches by 5. Index register X is used as a counter from 0 to 5. It is initialized to zero: LDX #$00 The contents of memory location 01 are incremented by 1: ADD CLC ADC $01 STA $01 The CLC instruction (clear carry) must be used prior to any addi- tion. In addition, we assume that the binary mode has been set (the 6502 may operate either in binary mode or in decimal mode). Unless otherwise specified, the 6502 will normally operate in binary mode, since a reset operation will have cleared the flags register, thereby set- ting the binary mode. The value of the switches is then restored in the accumulator from index register Y where it had been saved. The addition counter X is in- cremented by | and tested against the value 5: TYA INX CPX #$5 BMI ADD As long as the value of 5 has not been reached, the addition is repeat- ed. Once the value 5 has been reached, memory location 01 has been conditioned to the proper value and the subroutine BSCLED (the pre- vious LED display program) is called: JSR BSCLED The program then loops back in order to read the switches again and display the character they specify: JMP RDCHA 177 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK TONE GENERATION We have seen in the previous chapter how a tone may be generated by simply sending a square wave of the desired frequency to a speaker. The square wave form is generated by turning the speaker alternative- ly on and off. The duration during which the speaker is on or off is called the half-period. The delay measurement may be performed by software, or else by hardware, using the built-in interval timer of the 6522. This built-in interval timer has been used previously, and we will use here a software method to control the delay duration. We will first develop a basic program to generate a tone, then improve it to gen- erate computer music. +5V (Note: Do not adjust R4 CCW all the way otherwise transistor B7 on MP board may be too hot) aa SPEAKER TO CONN H3 PIN 15 Fig. 5-25: Speaker Connection The hardware connection is shown on Fig 5-25. An additional resistor of 50 ohms or more should be placed in series with the speaker to limit the output current. The speaker is connected to the buffered output of the SYM. Turning the variable resistor down to zero could burn out both the pot and the output transistor on the board. The technique used to generate a tone is the usual square wave method, implemented by a delay subroutine. 178 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS Connection: Connector A to Connector H2 Connector AA to Connector H3 This program activates the speaker with a pre-set frequency which has to be loaded into loc. 0004 before execution. 0230 A9 80 BSCSPK LDA #$80 0232 8D 02 AC STA $ACO0O2 Set VIA #3 DDRB = 80 for speaker output 0235 A9 80 AGAIN LDA _ #$80 0237 8D 00 AC STA $ACOO Set speaker driver high = activate speaker 023A 20 48 02 JSR DLYB~ Call delay 023D A9 00 LDA #$00 023F 8D 00 AC STA $ACO0OO _ Set speaker driver low = turn speaker off 0242 20 48 02 JSR DLYB_~ Call delay 0245 4C 30 02 JMP AGAIN Repeat Subroutine DLYB: This subroutine is similar to subroutine DLYA except that 1) This delay is much shorter. 2) This delay takes delay index from loc. 0004 (the index should be a negative value). 0248 A6 04 DLYB LDX $04 Load delay value into X 024A E8 LPXB INX Increment X 024B EO 00 CPX #$00 024D 30 FB BMI LPXB Loop till (X) =0 0O24F 60 RTS Fig. 5-26: Basic Speaker Activation (Program 5-5) The delay parameter for this program must be loaded at memory location 0004 prior to execution.

The data direc- tion register B is configured for output on bit 7: BSCSPK LDA _ #$80 STA $AC02 The speaker is then turned on: AGAIN LDA #380 STA $AC00 179 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The speaker is left on for a duration specified by the contents of mem- ory location 0004, by calling the delay subroutine DLYB: JSR DLYB The speaker must then be turned off. This is accomplished by resetting bit 7 of the IORB to ‘‘0”’: LDA _ #$00 STA $ACO00 The speaker must then be left off for the same duration and a call to subroutine DLYB accomplishes this: JSR DLYB The program then loops on itself: JMP AGAIN The delay subroutine DLYB is essentially like the delay subroutine DLYA of Program 5-1: DYLB LDX $04 DELAY VALUE LPXB INX COUNTER CPX #$00 BMI LPXB RTS Let us compute the duration of the delay introduced by this subrou- tine.

The loop is executed 256 — 4 = 252 times. The total delay duration is therefore: 6+2+ (2+2+3) x 252 + 6 = 14+7 x 252 = 1778 microseconds Exercise 5-13: Modify the delay routine by using a decrement instruc- tion rather than an increment instruction. Fig. 5-27: Binary Switches Specify Tone MUSIC The basic method for generating a tone of set frequency has been presented. We want now to be able to play a tune. This program will read the binary value of the three switches A-1 through A-3 and gen- erate a tone corresponding to the switch setting (see Fig 5-27). The note ‘‘C’’ (do) will be generated for a ‘‘0’’ switch setting, then a ‘‘D’’ (re) for ‘‘1’’, etc. A full octave plus one note, 1.e., ‘‘C’’ through ‘‘C’’, can be played according to the setting of the three switches. This program will use the previous one as a subroutine. Before executing it, the con- tents of memory location 0245 should be changed from ‘‘4C’’ to ‘°60’’. A frequency table will be constructed first, which specifies the duration of the half period of the square wave which generates the tone. It appears on Fig 5-28. 181 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK 182 74 02 74 02 74 02 74 02 74 02 74 02 74 02 74 02 TUNE LDX JMP LDX JMP LDX JMP LDX JMP LDX JMP LDX JMP LDX JMP LDX JMP #$80 LD04 #$90 LD04 #$9C LD04 ASA4 LD04 #$BO LD04 #$B8 LD04 #3CO LD04 #$C4 LD04 Frequency for middle C Frequency for D Frequency for E Frequency for F Frequency for G Frequency for A Frequency for B Frequency for C Fig. 5-28: Music Frequency Table Fr : PLAY NOTE READ SWITCHES OMPUTE FREQUENCY TABLE OFFSET OBTAIN PERIOD LOAD DELAY VALUE S AT O.e.

The program is shown on Fig 5-30 and the connections are shown on Fig 5-31. Locations 04 and 05 will be used for an indirect jump. Since the frequency table resides in Page 0, the contents of location 05 are immediately initialized to 0: MUSIC LDA #$00 STA $05 The data direction register, DDRA, is then configured to ‘‘00’’ to spe- cify the input mode: STA $A003 The duration of the tone is specified by the contents of register Y which correspond to an outer loop delay (to be explained below): KEY LDY #$CO The contents of the three switches Al, A2, and A3 are then read from the IORA at location A001, and the upper 5 bits are masked (set to 0): LDA #$A001 AND #$07 This switch setting is then saved at memory location 04 so that the ac- cumulator can be used for other purposes: STA $04 In order to compute the offset in the frequency table, the value ob- tained from the switch is multiplied by 5.

Note the significant improvement in the length of the overall program. Exercise 5-15: If you actually run this program on a microcomputer board, you will notice a minor problem: The program does indeed play the required note; however, you can hear at the same time a lower Frequency note. By inspecting carefully the last 5 instructions of the music program, you should be able to determine what the problem is. Can you propose a modified program which will eliminate this? (Hint: The speaker may be turned off ‘‘too long’’.) 186 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS Exercise 5-16: Looking at the instructions ‘‘ADC $04” repeated 4 times, suggest a way to achieve the same result with fewer instructions, if possible, Exercise 5-17: The third instruction from the end is ‘‘CPY #$00’’. Is it necessary? The table used in the music program has been designed ‘‘by ear’’, not by computing the correct frequencies. The values should now be checked to determine how good this table is. In America, the Standard Pitch is A4 = 440 Hz. The frequency of notes doubles every twelve half notes. From tone T, to tone T:, the frequency is N, = '*/2 x Ni. The frequencies are indicated on Fig 5-28 . Exercise 5-18: Inspect the BSCSPK routine to compute its timing. Knowing the periods of the notes (Fig 5-28), compute the correct theoretical frequency constants. (Hint: Do not forget that the speaker is alternately on and off for half a period.) VCC 2.2K TO CONN H3 Fig. 5-32: The Photo-Transistor Circuit (on socket M3) 187 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK A BURGLAR ALARM We are going to implement here a realistic home alarm system. En- try in the home will be detected by a phototransistor-detector set; it is assumed that the light emitter is normally on. Whenever the beam is broken, the detector will indicate it and the alarm will be triggered. This alarm will generate a siren sound in the speaker. Further im- provements will be suggested at the end of the program. READ PHOTO DETECTOR STATUS ACTIVATE SPEAKER FOR SET OURATION Fig. $-33: Alarm Flow Chart The connection of the phototransistor is shown on Fig 5-32, and the flow-chart for the algorithm appears on Fig 5-33. We will read the status of the detector. As long as it stays ‘‘on’’, nobody has broken the beam, and we keep reading. Whenever the beam is broken, the status of the detector will be ‘‘0’’ (‘‘off’’), and the speaker will be acti- vated for a set duration. In order to generate a siren-like sound, the frequency of this sound will be progressively increased until a maxi- mum frequency is reached (see Fig 5-35). At this point, the status of the photodetector will be probed again, and as long as it is off, the siren will keep sounding. The program appears on Fig 5-34. The pho- totransistor input is connected to bit 7 of the IORA of VIA #3 (see Fig 5-32). 188 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS FREQUENCY TIME Fig. 5-34: A Siren Sound Connection: Connector A to connector H2 Connector AA to connector H3 This program senses the phototransistor output, if the output is high, which means the phototransistor is the dark and is in the off-state, nothing will happen, but if the output is low, which means the phototransistor gets light and is in the on-state, then sound the alarm immediately. If the opposite convention is preferred (normally on), change BEQ to BNE. This program also uses BSCSPK as a subroutine, hence loc. 0245 should be changed to 60. 0281 A9 00 ALARM LDA #$00 0283 8D 03 AC STA $AC0O3 Set VIA #3 DDRA = 00 for input mode 0286 AD Ol AC DETECT LDA $ACOI! _ Read photo-transistor output 0289 29 80 AND #$80 028B C9 80 CMP #$80 028D FO F7 BEQ DETECT If output = high, keep polling 028F A9 80 LDA #$80 Else sound the alarm by setting the initial 0291 85 04 STA $04 Frequency constant = 80 at loc. 0004 0293 AO FO LP7 LDY #$FO Set delay constant = FO at (Y) 0295 20 30 02 SOUND JSR BSCSPK Call BSCSPK to activate speaker 0298 C8 INY 0299 CO 00 CPY #$00 029B 30 F8 BMI SOUND Loop till (Y) = 0 before changing frequency constant Fig. 5-33: Burglar Alarm (Program 5-7) 189 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK 029D A9 Ol LDA #$01 Increment frequency constant by ! 029F 18 CLC 02A0 65 04 ADC $04 02A2 85 04 STA $04 02A4 C9 A8 CMP #$A8 Loop till highest frequency constant = A8 02A6 30 EB BMI LP7 02A8 4C 86 02 JMP DETECT Then sense phototransistor o/p again Fig. 5-35 (continued): Burglar Alarm The first instructions of the program implement a polling loop which tests the status of the phototransistor: ALARM LDA #$00 STA $ACO03 DETECT LDA _ $ACO01 CMP #$80 BEQ DETECT As soon as the photodetector is off (on an experiment board, this will be achieved by covering the LED detector with a finger or a piece of cloth), the alarm will be sounded. The specified initial frequency con- stant is loaded at memory address 04, and the tone duration for this frequency is loaded in register Y. The previous subroutine BSCSPK is then called to sound the speaker: LDA #$80 STA $04 LP7 LDY #$FO SOUND JSR BSCSPK INY CPY #$00 BMI SOUND The subroutine is called as many times as necessary to implement the secondary delay specified by register Y. The frequency constant is then incremented by 1, stored back at memory location 04, and com- pared against the maximum frequency. As long as the maximum fre- quency has not been reached, the program keeps generating a sound of increasing frequency. 190 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS LDA #$01 CLC ADC $04 STA $04 CMP #$A8 BMI LP7 JMP DETECT Whenever the maximum frequency has been reached, the program loops back to its starting point. Several improvements are possible. In a realistic home use, this alarm system will be placed somewhere inside a house and the photoelectric pair including a light-emitter and a receiver will be placed somewhere in the house. (In practice, an in- fra-red beam is often used as it is not visible to the eye.) It may be positioned to protect a room or to protect the entrance to the house. The program should be improved so that, once the alarm has been turned on, it is possible to leave the house without triggering it. The first exercise will bring this improvement: Exercise 5-19: Modify the program so that the user may exit from the house within two minutes after the system has been armed (turned -on). In other words, no alarm should be triggered for two minutes after the program is turned on, regardless of the status of the photo- detector. After that, the alarm should operate normally. Another problem must be solved: Upon re-entering the house, we real- ly do not want the alarm to sound immediately. We want to have the time to walk to the microcomputer board and turn it off. The next ex- ercise will take care of that: Exercise 5-20: Once the alarm has been armed (after two minutes), it should not sound until 30 seconds after detection of an entry. Let us improve further: There might be some minor variations in the light beam which may cause noise on the line. We do not want this to trigger the alarm. Exercise 5-21: Modify the program so that the alarm is triggered only if the beam is interrupted for more than .05 second. 191 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Let us keep improving: In case an animal should trigger the alarm, we want to provide an automatic shut-off system. We want the alarm to sound for two minutes after detection has occurred and then turn it- self off. Exercise 5-22: Modify the program so that the alarm will sound for two minutes after detection has occurred and then turn itself off. In addition, at the time that detection occurs we may want to take ad- ditional action such as turning on the lights or else dialing the police. This can be easily accomplished by merely turning on an external relay. Exercise 5-23: Modify the above program so that an external relay is turned on every time that entry is detected. Note that this feature can be used advantageously even if you cannot dial the police automatically: You could connect a lamp to the relay Output so that even if an intruder came in and left quickly when the alarm sounded, his intrusion would be revealed by the fact that the lamp would be left turned on at the time you returned. Exercise 5-24: Could we delete the instruction CPY #$00 at address 0299? Exercise 5-25: Add a “‘panic button’’ which you can press to activate the alarm at any time. Modify the sound of the alarm so that neigh- bors can differentiate between a ‘‘panic call’’ and an ‘‘alarm.”’ DC MOTOR CONTROL The goal of this program is to control the speed of an ordinary DC motor. A regular low-cost 12 volt hobby DC motor will be connected to the microcomputer board, and the rotational speed will be specified by switches. Three switches will be used, so that 8 different combina- tions may be specified, corresponding to 8 rotational speeds. The motor circuit is shown on Fig 5-36. The switches connection is shown on Fig 5-27. 192 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS NORMALLY OFF Fig. 5-36: Motor Circuit Q | 0 | ( 8 Q —a—— ase ae — —! — -— — a — MAX i | t SPEED tot ta 1! : , 1 | t D ' $ y t —— : — — — HI! ee i st = MIN fig. 5-37: Digital Speed Control 193 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK PULSES __| LI | | t t I ! 1 t ’ ee = P= Fig. 5-38: Simplified Speed Diagram The principle used to control the speed of the motor Is to turn it on for a set duration, then turn it off. Because of its rotational inertia, the motor will keep turning for a while. A new pulse will then be gen- erated and the motor will be turned on again. It will accelerate again. This pattern will be repeated. The resulting speed of the motor is shown on Fig 5-37. A simplified diagram showing the same curve ap- pears on Fig 5-38. It is essentially a saw-tooth curve where the motor accelerates as long as power is applied, then decelerates until it receives the next pulse. The average speed is indicated by the horizontal line between the minimum and the maximum speeds on Fig 5-37. It can be seen from the illustration that the speed will constantly oscillate be- tween its minimum and its maximum values. If the speed must be de- fined with good accuracy, then the minimum and the maximum speeds will have to be close. This will be achieved by using shorter pulses. However, as in any phenomenon that involves inertia and oscil- lations, instabilities will occur. In particular, it should be noted on the illustration that, if the ‘‘on’’ pulse is given before time ‘‘t,’’, then the speed will not decrease and will keep increasing instead. This is be- cause the inertia of the motor has not had the time to slow it down to where the speed would decrease. More complex phenomena may still occur. This topic will not be discussed in detail here. Simply, we will design a program with adjustable delays and later adjust these delays by trial and error so that they work with the type of motor we are us- ing. The reader should simply be aware that these delays can be ad- justed in various ways to improve the accuracy of the speed obtained and/or to eliminate oscillation problems. 194 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS , ODRA - IORA Suited \ Fo | PAI A2 7 {| 5 ae 7; 4 (A003) (A001) CDRA es22ea IORA | oo =| lo ae, fof ae po | ls po | 8 Lt A — i 2 (AC03) (ACOl} = +5V Fig. 5-40: The Connections The Hardware Connections Two ports are used: on the 6522 #1 and on the 6522 #3.

The motor will be turned on for a duration Ton, and turned off for a duration Torr. In this algorithm, the duration ort is fixed, and the duration Ton is increased for every switch setting from ‘‘000’’ to ‘‘111.’’ The minimum Ton duration here corresponds to the switch setting ‘‘000’’. 196 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS The delay corresponding to a switch setting can be computed with the formula: Ton = MIN + Unit X switches.

The motor is first turned on for an initial duration to achieve initial rotational speed (otherwise, a train of short pulses might not be able to get it started). The value of the switches is then read and the resulting delay must be computed. The value of the switches multiplied by the delay unit is added to the minimum pulse duration. The resulting computed delay is stored. The 197 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK motor is then turned on for the computed delay duration. This is De- lay B. Then the motor is turned off for a duration called Delay C. This process is then repeated for several cycles in order for the speed to sta- bilize. Then, the switches can be read again and, if the setting has been changed, the new speed will be generated. Note that the built-in delay implemented by repeating the cycle several times also takes care of the switch bounce problem. If no delay was allowed for the speed to sta- bilize, the switches should be debounced by hardware or by software (see reference C207 for details on debouncing). Connection: Connector A to connector H2 Connector AA to connector H3 This program reads switches Al — A3 to define motor speed desired and rotates the motor accordingly.

The first four instructions turn the motor on by conditioning the data direction register and placing ‘*Q’’ in the data register: MOTOR AC LDA STA LDA STA #$40 $ACO3 #$00 SACO] A delay value ‘‘FF’’ is then deposited at memory location ‘‘00’’, which is the agreed convention for passing a parameter to the subrou- tine DLYA (see Program 5-1). The subroutine DLYA is then called. It implements the initial delay required for the motor to achieve its initial speed. LDA #$FF STA = $00 JSR DLYA 199 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The value of the switches is then read: LDA #$00 STA $A003 MTRSP LDA _ $A001 And the value of the lower three bits is extracted from the reading: AND #$07 MASK TAY For each switch position except ‘‘000’’, an additional duration unit will be added to the minimum duration of ‘‘OB’’ hexadecimal. The value of the switch reading is, therefore, saved in index register Y, and the initial duration delay is loaded into memory location ‘‘06’’. LDA #$0B STA $06 LP8 is an addition loop which will add the delay unit as many times as specified by the switch setting: LP8 CPY #300 BEQ ONDLY CLC ADC $06 DEY JMP LP8 Exercise 5-26: Can you modify the code above so that CPY #800 is unnecessary? Why? Once ONDLY has been reached, memory location ‘‘06’’ contains the additional duration for the pulse, as specified by the switches. It is then added to the minimal duration of ‘‘80’’ hexadecimal: ONDLY STA $06 LDA #$80 CLC ADC $06 STA $06 200 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS The Y register is then loaded with the value ‘‘CO’’ hexadecimal which specifies the number of times that we will turn the motor on and off: LDY #$CO Once location MTRON has been reached, memory location ‘‘06’’ con- tains the constant necessary to implement the ‘‘on’’ delay. It is trans- ferred to memory location ‘‘04’’ so that the subroutine DLYB may be used. The motor is turned on and the delay is implemented: MTRON LDA $06 STA $04 LDA #00 TURN MOTOR ON STA $ACOl1 JSR DLYB The off delay must then be implemented, and the value ‘‘C0’’ hexa- decimal is stored at memory location ‘‘04’’. The motor is explicitly turned off and the delay is implemented by the subroutine DLYB: LDA #$CO STA $04 MTROFF LDA _ #$40 MOTOR OFF STA $ACOlI JSR DLYB After the motor has been turned off, the loop counter Y is decrement- ed. Index register Y is used here to count the number of times that the on/off cycle will be executed. It has been loaded with the initial value ‘‘CO’’ hexadecimal, and is decremented every time that the motor is turned off. If the value ‘‘0’’ has been reached, the program goes back to the beginning and reads the next switch setting. If Y has not decre- mented to ‘‘0’’, then the program loops back to MTRON in order to go again through an on/off cycle: DEY CPY #$00 BMI MTRON JMP MTRSP Let us now consider improvements to the program. 201 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Exercise 5-26: Let us first perform some improvements in style: Exa- mine the program corresponding to memory addresses 2D0 to 2D8. Can you suggest any improvement to the way the code has been writ- ten?. (Hint: One instruction can be saved.) Exercise 5-27: Same question for lines 0O2FF to 0303. Exercise 5-28: This exercise is valuable if you are indeed performing an experiment on a real motor: increase progressively the ‘‘off’’ delay by changing the appropriate constant in the program. What happens? Exercise 5-29: Same question by reducing the off delay. What is the problem? Exercise 5-30: Another algorithm which could be used would be to send a variable number of ‘‘on’’ pulses of constant duration, i.e., to ad- just the duration of the ‘‘off’’ delay rather than the ‘‘on’’ delay. Can you modify the program accordingly? Important note. Because every motor has different characteristics, the timings in the program are best determined by a trial and error proc- ess. You are strongly encouraged to modify the various constants which have been used, such as the minimum ‘‘on’’ delay, the mini- mum ‘‘off’’ delay, and the timing increments until you obtain by ex- perience the settings which give the best results. In addition, if you in- tend to load the motor by connecting it to a real device, you will intro- duce additional inertia and friction parameters. Additionally, low- cost hobby motors may be poorly lubricated and after a period of a few weeks or a few months may have much higher friction. They will then require a much longer warm-up period and may also require longer pulses. As long as you are aware of the mechanical mood of your motor, you should be able to adjust the parameters accordingly. Exercise 5-31; Can you determine what happens if you send very short ‘‘on’’ pulses? The above program is an open control loop where we are controlling the speed of the motor but not measuring it. Let us suggest possible improvements to this technique. Exercise 5-32: Display the speed setting of the motor. The speed set- ting of the motor could be identical to the switch setting, i.e., you could just display a number between 0 and 7. 202 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS In the next exercise, we are going to implement a real closed control loop. This exercise is of special interest if you want to understand the concept used to regulate a disk, for example. A simple and effective way to measure the speed of the motor is to attach a cardboard disk to the shaft. A hole, called the index hole, should be perforated in the disk. Arrange the disk so that a light emiter is on one side of the disk while a light receiver is on the other side. They sould be arranged in such a way that when the hole passes in front of the light- emitting diode, the light illuminates the receiver. (This is exactly what is done on a computer floppy disk to detect the index hole.) Every time that the receiver is illuminated, a pulse will be detected. By counting the number of pulses per second, one obtains the exact rotational speed of the motor in rotations per second. Using this information, it is possible to adjust the duration, or the frequency, of the ‘‘on’’ and the ‘‘off’’ pulses to regulate the speed with great precision. The com- parison between this technique and a floppy disk stops here, as, in a floppy disk, the speed must be regulated with great precision and must be regulated even during a partial rotation of the disk, not just on the average. On a disk, additional information is therefore used: Informa- tion is recorded on a track and the pulses are used to adjust the rota- tional speed during part of a single revolution. In the case of our motor, it is important to measure the actual speed, since any friction or any load on the motor will modify its rotational speed. All the hardware and software techniques necessary to implement this have been already introduced. Exercise 5-33: Write the program that will accomplish it. ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERSION (A HEAT SENSOR) A thermistor will be used here to measure temperature. Any other heat sensing device could be used. The resistance of a thermistor changes with the temperature. We will use this feature to detect tem- perature changes in the environment and take action depending on the temperature measured. The main problem is, given an analog value (one which changes value continuously, here the resistance of the ther- mistor), the main problem is to measure it with a binary number. This is called the analog to digital conversion problem. Components exist today which will perform this conversion essentially with a single compo- 203 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK nent. Here, we are going to use a less costly (and more educational) solution which uses a digital-to-analog converter plus some opamps. The analog-to-digital conversion will be performed by program. (For details on analog to digital conversion techniques, the reader is re- ferred to Chapter 5 of our reference book C207 Microprocessor Inter- facing Techniques.) We will use here a successive approximations technique. An initial binary value will be generated, then converted to analog form. This analog approximation will then be compared with a comparator to the value generated by the thermistor. The result of the comparison, ‘‘0”’’ or ‘‘1’’ depending on whether it is smaller or greater, will be used to generate the next successive approximation. 0522 #1 OOwA tORA ~~ Oo wm ié - ww - oS 1Au0)} ODKE —e—— = JHERMISTOR COMFARAIOFR o ~ O We WW = 2 {A002) (A000) Fig. 5-44: Connection for ADC The hardware connection used in this experiment is shown on Fig 5-44. The 8-bit output of IORA is connected to an 8-bit DAC, a digi- tal-to-analog converter. This digital-to-analog converter. transforms the 8-bit binary number into an analog signal whose value is then com- pared to the one of the thermistor. The comparator output is connect- ed back to bit 0 of IORB, where it can be sensed. The algorithm will turn on in succession every bit of IORA from the most significant bit (bit 7), down to bit 0. The initial value tried will be ‘‘10000000’’. If it is found to be too small, then bit 7 will be left unchanged, and bit 6 will be turned on. In 204 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS this example, the next approximation will be ‘‘11000000’’. If at this point the approximation is too high (as decided by reading the output of the comparator), then bit 6 will be turned off. The next approxima- tion will be ‘‘10100000’’. Bit 5 has been automatically turned on. And sO On.

The process continues until all 8 bits have been used. The resulting binary value is the best possible approximation of the analog value, with the precision afforded by an 8-bit representation. Naturally, the process assumes that the algorithm is executed fast enough, so that the analog value does not change faster than it can be measured. Otherwise, a@ sample-and-hold circuit should be used. The illustration of Fig 5-45 shows the successive-approximations closing in on the exact value of the analog signal.

Memory location 4 is used to store the constant used by the DLYB program, which generates a delay specified by the value of the constant. Location 8 is used to store the new approxima- tion being computed by the program. The 6522 #1 is shown at memory locations A000 and following. 207 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK ADC INITIALIZE 6522 FOR DAC OUT- PUT AND COMPARATOR INPUT POINTER REGISTER = 10000000 TO ANALOG NEW APPROX = OLD APPROX FOR REG TURN CURRENT BIT OFF) SAVE NEW APPROX SHIFT POINTER REG RIGHT SHIFT RIGHT NEW APPROX = CT (FORCE BIT 7 TO 1) NEW APPROX = OLD APPROX STORE CT IN 04 + POINTER REG CALL BSCSPK = SOUND SPEAKER COUNT DURATION Fig. 5-50: ADC Flow Chart 208 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS The flow-chart appears on Fig 5-50. The 6522 is first initialized to configure IORA as output for the DAC, and IORB bit 0 is used as comparator input. The pointer register is set to its initial value of ‘10000000’ which is the initial approximation value. This pointer register will point to the bit being turned on in the approximation se- quence loop. The bit will be shifted right every time that a loop has been completed. The initial value of the approximation is set equal to the pointer reg- ister. It is then converted to analog. A delay is implemented in order to give enough time to the DAC to perform the conversion, then its out- put is examined. If the comparator output is ‘‘1’’, then the new ap- proximation is too small and its value does not need to be changed. If the comparator output is ‘‘0’’, then the approximation value is too high and the current bit must be turned off. Next, the pointer register is shifted right by one bit position, in order to point to the next bit to be used in this technique. If the last bit has been reached, the final ap- proximation has been computed. If not, a new approximation is ob- tained by adding the value of the pointer register to the old approxi- mation and a new iteration is started. Once an approximation value has been obtained, a tone must be generated whose pitch depends on the value of the measurement. A minimum tone frequency is used and the pitch constant is obtained by adding the value of the approximation to this minimum frequency. The speaker routine is then called to sound the speaker (BSCSPK). After the speaker has sounded for a minimum period of time, the pro- gram reads the value of the thermistor again. On the board, the fastest way to obtain an audible response is to use a soldering iron (or a cigarette) and put its tip close to the thermistor. The sound coming from the speaker should increase quickly in pitch. When the soldering iron is removed, the speaker will go through a re- verse sequence. Naturally the thermistor could be located away from the board. Properly isolated, it could be placed on a wall, in a cup, or in any other device whose temperature should be measured. A thermo- couple could also be used or be immersed in liquid so that the liquid’s temperature could be measured. The temperature of the environment could be controlled, for example, by using a heating coil connected to one of the relays. One remaining problem would be to calibrate the thermistor so that precise temperature measurements can be made. 209 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Connection: Connector A to connector H4 Connector AA to connector H3 This program uses successive approximations with a DAC so that the analog value of a thermistor can be sensed continuously. Then the approximated digital value is used as a parameter to control the frequency of the speaker. From the frequency change, one can tell whether the temperature is increasing or decreasing. Speaker frequency is proportional to temperature (or resistance of the thermistor) This program uses BSCSPK and DLYB subroutines. 0360 0362 0365 0367 036A 036C 036D 036F 0371 0374 0376 0377 0379 037B 037E 0380 0382 0384 0385 0387 0389 038A 038B 038C 038E 0390 210 A9 FF ADC LDA #S$FF 8D 03 AO STA $A003 Set VIA #1 DDRA = FF for output to drive DAC A9 00 LDA #$00 8D 02 AO STA $A002 Set VIA #1 DDRB = 00 for input to read comparator A9 80 FSTBIT LDA _ #$80 Set MSB for approximation A8 TAY (Y) stores current bit under test 85 08 STA $08 Loc. 0008 stores current value under test AS 08 NXTBIT LDA $08 8D 01 AO STA $A001 Output current value to DAC A2 20 LDX #%$20 Delay for comparator to settle CA LP9 DEX EO 00 CPX #$00 10 FB BPL LP9 AD 00 AO LDA #$A000_ Read comparator output 29 Ol AND #$01 Get bit 0 C9 Ol CMP #$01 FO 05 BEQ SHFBIT Comparator output = 1 means DAC output is still too low, keep current value and go to shift bit else, DAC output is too high deduct current bit from current value, 98 TYA then shift bit 45 08 EOR $08 85 08 STA $08 98 SHFBIT TYA 4A LSR A Right shift (Y) by 1 bit for next approximation A8 TAY C9 00 CMP #$00 FO 08 BEQ ECHO (Y) = 0 means approximation completed, go to turn on speaker 18 CLC Fig. 5-3 1:Analog-Digital Converter (Program 5-9) INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS 0391 65 08 ADC $08 (Y) = 0, current value plus next bit as the output to DAC for next approximation 0393 85 08 STA $08 0395 4C 6F 03 JMP NXTBIT 0398 AO FO ECHO LDY 4#$FO Delay constant for each frequency 039A AS 08 LDA $08 039C 4A LSR A 039D 85 04 STA $04 039F A9 80 LDA #$80 03Al 05 04 ORA $04 Calculate corresponding frequency constant and store it at loc. 0004 03A3 85 04 STA $04 03A5 20 30 02 SPKR JSR _ BSCSPK Call BSCSPK to activate speaker 03A8 88 DEY 03A9 CO 00 CPY #$00 03AB 30 F8 BMI SPKR 03AD 4C 6A 03 JMP FSTBIT Repeat for next approximation sequence Fig. 5-51: (Continued) Let us now examine the program, then suggest improvements. The program is shown on Fig 5-51. The first four instructions condition the data direction registers for Ports A and B of the 6522 #1, respec- tively as output (with a DAC), and as input (for the comparator): ADC LDA #$FF STA $A003 DDRA 1 = FF = OUTPUT LDA #$00 STA $A002 DDRB1 = 00 = INPUT The next two instructions store the literal value ‘‘80’’ hexadecimal into register Y.

If it is ‘‘0,’’ the value is too high and the current bit must be turned off: TYA EOR = $08 STA $08 Having adjusted the value of the current approximation if necessary, the pointer register is now shifted right for the next bit of the iteration: SHFBIT TYA LSR A If the last bit has been reached, we have obtained the best possible ap- proximation and we branch to location ECHO to sound the speaker: TAY CMP #$00 BEQ ECHO 212 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS Otherwise, we turn on the next bit of the approximation and we go back to the beginning of the loop: CLC ADC $08 STA = $08 JMP NXTBIT The ECHO routine will sound the speaker in function of the value measured. In this routine, register Y is used to implement the delay during which the speaker will be sounding. It is loaded here with the initial value ‘‘FO’’ hexadecimal. The value of the approximation is read from memory location ‘‘08’’, and shifted right by one bit posi- tion. This means that the value of the last bit of the approximation will not be reflected by a variation in the pitch of the note in this tech- nique. Bit 7 is forced to the value ‘‘1’’, so that the speaker oscillates at a minimum guaranteed frequency to be audible. The resulting value is stored at memory location ‘‘04’’ which used tO pass a parameter to the BSCSPK routine which has already been presented: ECHO LDY #$FO LDA $08 LSR A STA $04 LDA #$80 ORA $04 STA $04 SPK JSR BSCSPK ACTIVATE SPEAKER Next, the routine is called and sounds the speaker at the specified fre- quency. Register Y is then decremented and tested, and, as long as it does not reach the value ‘‘0’’, the speaker will sound: DEY CPY #$00 BMI SPKR JMP FSTBIT 213 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Once the speaker. has sounded for the set duration, the program re- turns to the beginning of the approximation to sense again the status of the thermistor. Exercise 5-34: Display in hexadecimal the value of the approximation you have obtained. Exercise 5-35: Is it possible to eliminate all ‘‘“CPY #300’ from the program? Exercise 5-36: Calibrate your thermistor by determining the computed measurement which corresponds to given temperatures measured with a thermometer. Store these values in a table so that you can display the actual temperature and not the approximation register value. Exercise 5-37: Modify the program so that the speaker will sound 1 to 10 times, depending on the temperature it is measuring. At room tem- perature, it will sound once. At high temperature, it will sound 10 times. This is an audible way to communicate the results of the mea- surement (with a poor precision). Exercise 5-38: Having calibrated your thermistor, add a heating coil (which can be obtained from a hardware store at low cost) and regu- late the temperature of a glass of water so that the water remains at precisely temperature T. Caution: Most thermistors are not water- proof, so that they may have to be attached to the outside of the con- tainer rather than immersed inside. However, you can also obtain thermo-couples or other thermistors which are water resistant and can be immersed directly into liquid. Exercise 5-39: As a further improvement to your home burglar-alarm system (see program 5-7), add a routine to the basic control loop that checks the temperature periodically. If the temperature becomes larg- er than a set level, say 35 degrees centigrade, then sound the alarm. You have just implemented a fire detector. Exercise 5-40: Another variation: The goal is to hold your soldering iron at the appropriate distance of the thermistor to bring it to a tem- perature of say 80°C. Modify your program so that it blinks an LED quickly as long as the thermistor’s temperature is much less than the desired temperature, then blinks slowly as you approach the desired temperature level. Another LED should also be used to display wheth- er you are over or under the desired temperature. 214 INDUSTRIAL AND HOME APPLICATIONS SUMMARY In this chapter, real world applications have been developed, rang- ing from simple home control to complex industrial control. A variety of input-output devices have been connected to the microprocessor board, ranging from switches and LED’s to a DC motor, a thermistor, and a photo-emitter-receiver pair. The selection of devices and tech- niques presented here should enable you to start solving a large num- ber of actual control problems. For more information on specific in- terfacing techniques, refer to our reference C207, ‘‘Microprocessor Interfacing Techniques’’. Also, to develop a true programming exper- tise, experimenting is strongly encouraged. In the next chapter, actual computer peripherals will be interfaced to the 6502 board. 215 CHAPTER 6 THE PERIPHERALS INTRODUCTION In this chapter, we will connect the 6502 board to actual computer peripherals. The programs in this section have been optimized to demonstrate ‘‘elegant’’ techniques for solving problems, by using the specific resources of the components involved. First, we will connect a standard 16-key matrix keyboard and make ‘‘clever’’ use of the input-output register capabilities to minimize the number of instructions needed to identify the character and display it. Next, we will manufacture a home-built paper-tape-reader at low cost. In this application, the paper tape can simply be pulled manually through the reader and will be correctly read by the microcomputer. Finally, we will show how simple it is to connect a microprinter (or an ASCII keyboard) to the microcomputer board. At this point, the read- er should feel confident that he has acquired the skills required to solve most usual problems encountered in actual applications. The applications presented here are simple to realize, and useful. The programs are directly applicable to SYM, KIM or AIM65, with minor changes. Practice is, therefore, again encouraged. All the programs are short, and will provide valuable knowledge even if you do not plan to connect a peripheral. Careful reading of this chapter is recommended to all. 216 THE PERIPHERALS KEYBOARD We will first connect an external 16-key matrix keyboard (called a hexadecimal keyboard) and identify the key which has been pressed. The keyboard connection is shown on Fig 6-1. It is connected to the 8 bits of the IORA of a 6522. Bits 0 through 3 are connected to the rows, while bits 4 through 7 are connected to the columns. On the diagram, the key at the intersection of row 2 and column 7 has been pressed, connecting the row to the column. 6522 Qg QO 2) > > S = (A001) (BEFORE KEY CLOSURE) Fig. 6-1: Connecting the Keyboard The data direction register is configured for all outputs. A special feature of the IORA of the 6522 will be used by this program. The IORA is really a bi-directional register. We will condition all rows to be 1’s and all columns to be 0’s. If a key is pressed, the corresponding row will be grounded by the column connected to it through the switch. When reading back the IORA, the ‘‘0’’ value in the corresponding row will be written into the register. In our example, when reading IORA after the key has been depressed, the resulting value will be **$90001011’’ in binary or ‘‘OB’’ in hexadecimal. Using a ‘‘line-rever- sal technique’’ (for details, see our references C201 or C207), we will write ‘11111011’? binary or ‘‘FB’’ hexadecimal in IORA. Since row num- ber 2 is ‘‘0’’ (grounded), it will also ground column 7. When reading 217 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK back the contents of IORA, we will find the final value ‘‘01111011”’ binary or ‘‘7B’’ hexadecimal. At every bit position of IORA where a ‘*0’’ is present, the corresponding row or column have been intercon- nected. This technique will not only detect which switch has been pressed, but will also detect errors, such as several keys being depressed at the same time. If more than one key is depressed at any one time, then there will be more than one ‘‘Q”’ per nibble (group of 4 bits) in the IORA. UNCHANGED Fig. 6-2: Step 2 -Reading IORA After Key Closure DDRA Fig. 6-3: Step 3 -Writing IORA 218 THE PERIPHERALS (A003) (A001) Fig. 6-4: Step 4 -Read back IORA In order to identify the character corresponding to the key which has been pressed (a hexadecimal character between ‘‘0’’ and ‘‘F’’), we will simply build a table giving the ASCII representation of the char- acters for each legal pattern in IORA. For example, we have just determined that when key ‘‘B’’ is pushed, the pattern ‘‘7B’’ hexadecimal is found in IORA. As an exercise the reader is encouraged to compute the IORA pattern for other charac- ters. The correspondence table is shown on Fig 6-5. If ever an illegal code is found, it is ignored and the keyboard is scanned again. Finally, once the ASCII code for the character has been obtained, it can be displayed. As an example here the display routine available as part of the SYM board monitor is used to display the character. Modi- fications will be suggested at the end of this section to display the char- acters on other media.

PROTECT FORCE COLUMN BITS TO “71” WRITE BACK READ IORA FOUND IN TABLE? NO YES NEXT TABLE ENTRY SCAND LOOK UP ASCII CODE DISPLAY IT (HD OUT) Fig. 6-6: Keyboard Flow Chart The flow-chart for the program appears on Fig 6-6. The program is first initialized, then the ‘‘OF’’ (hexadecimal) pat- tern is sent on IORA. The value of IORA is read back (without chang- ing the DDRA!). This value does not need to be stored in a 6502 regis- ter or in the memory, because of the bidirectional feature of the IORA of this component. Jt will be latched into the component and remain there. The four column bits are then forced to a ‘‘1’’, and the new IORA pattern is output. IORA is then read back so that the final bit 220 THE PERIPHERALS pattern may be obtained. The pattern in the IO register is then matched against all possible values in the ASCII table of Fig 6-5. If the IORA code does not match the current table entry, the next one is looked up. If none matches, then a branch back to the beginning of the loop oc- curs. The program is shown on Fig 6-7. 0000 86.20 86 8B 3.

Every time we have a table struc- ture, the indexed addressing mode is conveniently used to access the elements in sequence. The initial value of the index register if ‘‘OF’’ hexadecimal or ‘‘15’’ decimal. A match will be attempted against the last entry of the table (see Fig 6-7). Then the previous one will be test- ed. Whenever a match is found a branch occurs to location DISPL: LOOP CMP TAB,X BEQ DISPL DEX BPL LOOP If the match fails, then the index register X is decremented in anticipa- tion of the next character match. It must be tested against the value ‘*Q’’: When it decrements below ‘‘0’’ and becomes negative, no valid key has been detected and an exit occurs through SCAN: BMI SCAN At this point, register X indicates which character has been recog- 222 THE PERIPHERALS TAB CHARACTER CODE ‘KX IS POINTER TO TABLE ENTRY HIGH ADDRESSES Fig. 6-8: indexed Addressing for Table Access nized. It contains a number between ‘‘0’’ and ‘‘15’’. We now want to convert this number to the ASCII code required to display (or print) the character we have recognized: DSPL LDA_ ASCT, X At location DISPL, the accumulator is loaded with the ASCII code corresponding to the value of the character as determined by the value of index register X. Again an indexed addressing technique is used for this sequentially ordered data (see Fig 6-9). The subroutine HDOUT (of the SYM) is then used and the character is displayed (SCAND rou- tine of the SYM) before the keyboard scanning resumes: JSR HDOUT SCAN JSR SCAND JMP START 223 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK OFFSET =8 TABLE (16 ENTRIES) £ LDA ASCT, Xx Fig. 6-9: Converting the Character ID # to ASC II Two tables of constants are used by the program. The first one is called ‘‘TAB’’. The table contains the list of legal bit patterns that may appear in IORA. The value of the index register X at the time it reads one of these entries determines the identity of the key which has been pressed. The second table used is called ‘‘ASCT’’. It contains the ASCII code for each of the digits of the keyboard. These two tables appear at the end of the program on Fig 6-7. Note that the index register X does not have to contain the actual hexadeci- mal digit corresponding to the key which has been pressed. As long as the two tables are arranged in matching sequence, the proper ASCII code will be extracted for each legal binary pattern found in the table TAB. This is why these two tables on the program are out of the hexa- decimal sequence. Exercise 6-1: Rearrange the two tables, TAB and ASCT of Fig 6-7, so that the value of the index register X is always equal to the hexadeci- mal value of the key which has been pressed on the keyboard. Exercise 6-2: As an alternative to the above method, relabel the keys of the keyboard, without changing the tables TAB and ASCT, so that the value index register X corresponds to the key which has been pressed. 224 THE PERIPHERALS Let us suggest now some possible variations so that the digit which has been detected can be displayed to the outside world in other ways: Exercise 6-3: Sound the speaker once if character ‘‘]’’ has been pressed. Sound it twice if character ‘‘2’’ has been pressed, and so on. Exercise 6-4: Using the Morse program which has been developed in chapter 4 (see Program 4-3), modify the above program so that it sounds the Morse code corresponding to each key pressed. Exercise 6-5: Modify the above program so that it will sound a note for each key pressed. One key should be dedicated to a silence. An- other set of two keys can be used to determine the duration of the note (durations 1, 2, and 4). Exercise 6-6: Write a stored music program. You will first play a tune by hitting the keys of the keyboard in the desired sequence. The first 50 notes (or any other number) of the tune should be memorized in the memory of the system. Then hit a special key, and the program should play back the tune that has just been memorized. PAPER TAPE READER OR ASCII KEYBOARD Connecting a decoded (ASCII) keyboard, or a paper tape reader in- volves a nearly identical technique. The hardware interface involves 8 data bits (the 7 bit ASCII code plus parity), and an extra status bit in- dicating that a character is available. A simple interface will be pre- sented here for a ‘‘home-built’’ simplified paper tape reader. The pro- gram for a decoded keyboard would be nearly identical. 1 2 we ee ww we ee ee eee ee ee ee - ---- sprocket holes 3 4 5 6 PARITY (7) Fig. 6-10: Punched 8-level Paper-tape 225 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK Paper tape has traditionally been used to store programs in.a reli- able and economical form. Each character is represented on the paper tape by a row of holes punched in it (see Fig 6-10). One hole, smaller than the other, is used by the sprocket wheel which positions the paper The FPA100 emitter is located on the small board on top. The PTR is connected to the 6502 board via a flat ribbon through the A-connector (top). Fig. 6-11: Paper Tape Reader Hardware 226 THE PERIPHERALS tape. The other 8 holes (other types of codes exist using less holes) are used to encode the character itself in ASCII format. The paper tape is moved one hole position at a time, and the code corresponding to the hole must be read by the reader. We will use here a pair of photo emit- ters and detectors FPA100. +5V +5V DATA 146 7417 1/6 7417 STATUS Fig. 6-12: PTR Connection Details PORT A EG at eer | SEPT TEED Fal ie Qa | ip SES PORT B STATUS Fig. 6-13: Paper Tape Reader Interface 227 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The light-emitting diodes emit light continuously. When a hole passes in front of the LED, the light will be transmitted and the photo- detector placed on the other side will sense it. This will be a ‘‘1’’. When no light is transmitted, a ‘‘0’’ will be detected. Note that the in- tensity of the LED’s must be adjusted carefully, so that no light goes through the paper tape in the absence of a hole (practical remarks will be presented later). This very low-cost and simple paper-tape-reader can be operated by hand by pulling the paper tape between the two detectors. The program will synchronize itself, as we will see, on the hole normally intended for the sprocket wheel. The hardware diagram appears on Fig 6-11. The detailed connection of the light emmitting diodes and of the hole detectors and the data detector circuits appear on Fig 6-12. The microcomputer interface is shown on Fig 6-13. The IORA of 6522 #1 is used as input for these data bits. The IORB of port B of the same 6522 is used to read the status bit into its position 7. The signals are conditioned by Schmitt triggers (7414). The two sockets for the 7414’s are used as guides for the paper tape itself. The signal corresponding to the detection of a sprocket hole is ‘‘0’’. The signal corresponding to a data hole is ‘‘1”’. CHARACTER COUNTER = 0 B EXT CHARACTER AVAILABLE? YES READ IT STORE IT IN LINE TABLE INCREMENT CHARACTER COUNT Fig. 6-14: PTR Flow Chart 228 THE PERIPHERALS Note that a single resistor is used in this simple interface to drive all LED’s. In practice, individual resistors could be used for each indivi- dual LED. The value of the resistor must be adjusted carefully so that just enough light goes through a hole to be detectable by the opposite detector. Otherwise ail J ’s (11111111"’) will be detected continuously if the light may go through a normal (fairly transparent) paper tape. If you are experiencing trouble with the value of this resistor, you may consider using initially black paper tape, or at least very opaque tape, to eliminate this problem. The flow-chart for the program is shown on Fig 6-14. A character counter will be used to count the number of characters coming in. The program remains in a waiting loop until the next character becomes available. This will be detected by the presence of a sprocket hole over the corresponding detector. Once the status signal indicates the avail- ability of the character, it should be read quickly. It is read and stored ina line table inthe memory. The character counter is then incremented. By convention, the reading operation will be terminated either by a ‘‘NULL”’ character (nothing punched on the tape), or else an explicit ‘*carriage-return’’ character (CR). The program, therefore, checks for the NULL character or ‘‘CR’’, and, if they are found, it exits. If they are not found, it can go back to the beginning of the loop. However, before going back to the beginning of the loop, the program must wait until the status information has been reset. Once the ‘‘character-avail- able’’ signal has disappeared, it can go back to the beginning of the loop and wait for the next character to become available. The memory-map corresponding to this program is shown on Fig 6-15. The program appears on Fig 6-16.

Otherwise extra lines of initialization must be added to the beginning of this program. Register Y is used as the char- acter counter and is initialized to the value ‘‘0’’: KBPT LDY #0 Next, the value of the status line must be tested, in order to determine whether a character is available. It is connected to IORB bit 7 in order to facilitate its detection: TS BIT IORB BMI TS Bit 7 is a preferred bit position for connecting a status signal, since it is a bit position which can be tested in one instruction: bit 7 is the ‘‘sign’’ bit. It sets the ‘‘N’’ flag in the status register, which can be tested di- rectly for ‘‘positive’’ and ‘‘negative’’ (‘‘0’’ or ‘‘1’’). Here, it is tested by the BMI (branch on minus) instruction. As long as the signal is 230 THE PERIPHERALS **1’’, no character is available. When it becomes ‘‘0’’, a character is available. The accumulator can then be loaded with the data present on the data lines: LDA IORA_ READ DATA 1 The 8-bit character obtained from the paper-tape-reader must then be stored at an appropriate memory location. It is assumed here that the starting address of the line buffer has been deposited at memory loca- tion ‘‘00, 01.’’ An indirect addressing technique will be used in order to access the first element of the table. In addition, the addressing mode will be indexed by the value of Y, in order to access successively all ele- ments of the table. The corresponding instruction is: STA ($00), Y Let us examine this indirect indexed instruction here. The indirec- tion specifies: ‘‘go to memory address ‘‘00’’ and use its contents as an address (Step | on Fig 6-17). LINE BUFFER 0} ADDRESS “STEP 1° LINE BUFFER ADDRESS POSITION Y oY “STEP 2° LINE BUFFER +Y E EAR gence a CORRECT LOCATION Fig. 6-17: Indirect indexed Access: STA ($00), Y FINAL ADDRESS Register Y is then used as an index: its contents are added to the base address to provide the final address (Step 2 on Fig 6-17). The con- 231 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK tents of Y are the displacement within the line-buffer table, i.e., the pointer to the current entry. The character counter is then incremented, thus pointing to the next available location in the line buffer, in anticipation of the next char- acter: INY The character in the accumulator must now be tested for ‘‘NULL”’ or for a ‘‘carriage return,’’ to check whether the end of a line has been reached. This is accomplished by the next four instructions: CMP #0 NULL? BEQ RET IF YES, EXIT CMP #$8D CR? BEQ RET _IF YES, EXIT Finally (refer to the flow-chart of Fig 6-14), we must wait for the ‘‘character-ready’’ signal to disappear before testing it again, or else we would read twice the same character. This is accomplished by the next 3 instructions: TE BIT IORB TEST READY SIGNAL BPL TE BMI TS Finally, the subroutine terminates with the usual return instruction: RET RTS Exercise: 6-7: In addition to storing the character in a table, generate through the speaker the Morse code corresponding to the character being read. Be careful to generate the Morse code quickly enough so that you do not lose characters on input. Alternatively you may decide to pull the paper very slowly so that you have enough time to generate the Morse output between two successive characters. Or as another possible solution, you may decide to generate the Morse code only at the end of the line when all the characters have been read. This is def- initely the safest solution but it defers the enjoyment of verifying that each character is being correctly read! 232 THE PERIPHERALS Exercise 6-8: Connect eight LEDs on the PTR board, and light them with the 6502, as each character is recognized. Exercise 6-9: Sound an alarm if the parity bit is incorrect. (The parity bit insures that the total number of bits for a given character is even or odd, depending on the convention used. You must verify this.) MICROPRINTER Many small microprinters use electrosensitive paper, and print 20 characters across, using a dot matrix to form the characters. Examples are Olivetti (various models) or Matsuhita. The bare printer requires a small interface which will sent the appropriate signals to the print- ing head, move the paper and manage the mechanical resources of the printer mechanism. Once equipped with such a basic interface, the microprinter can be connected to any microprocessor equipped with a PIO (a programmable input/output port). Such a printer will be used here and will be connected to the 6502 system via a 6522 anda 6532 port. Differences may exist if you are using a printer with a dif- ferent interface. However, the logic of the program should be essen- tially similar. The program will print a 20-character line at a time. It will supply the ‘‘start print’’ signal, then send the 20 characters in sequence. In order to send a character, the program waits for the printer interface to supply a ‘‘character request signal.’ In response to this signal, the CHARACTER REQUEST PRINTER BUFFER INTERFACE START PRINT PRINTING PRINTER BUSY Fig. 6-18: Basic Printer interface 233 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK g wu O@ |W &® WN -—- 8 PORT A TTT Tk » TU BA Se a >» - 8 START 6522 PORTB (A002) (A000) Fig. 6-19: Printer Connection program must supply the characters, or else the previous character stored in the interface buffer will be printed by error. The character will be supplied on the 6 data lines. A 6 bit character representation is used (see Fig 6-18). The hardware connection for the printer appears in Fig 6-19. Port A of the 6532 is used and bit 0 of Port B of the 6522 is also used. The IORA of the 6532 supplies the 6 data lines and receives on bit 6 the ‘‘character request,’’ as indicated on the illustration. Bit 0 of the IORB of the 6522 is used to generate the ‘‘start’’ signal. In addition, the printer interface normally supplies a ‘‘printer busy’’ signal. It will be ignored here and replaced by a software delay routine of 30 milli- seconds. A flow-chart for the program appears on Fig 6-20. The data-direction registers for the two PIOs are initialized. A start pulse is generated to start the printer. The program then checks the ‘*character.request”’ line. The program waits at this point until a level change indicates that a character is requested. It gets the next charac- ter from one of the memory locations where the 20 character line is stored (see Fig 6-21). The character is then sent to the printer. Once the character has been sent, the program waits for the ‘‘character re- quest’’ signal to disappear. It increments the character counter and checks to see whether it has reached the value ‘‘20.’’ If it has not 234 INITIALIZE DIRECTION REGISTERS AND RESET IORB GENERATE START PULSE L NO REQUESTED?

Once the 20 characters have been sent to the printer, a ‘‘space’’ code is sent to the printer to terminate the line, causing a line feed and a carriage return to be generated. (A different convention may be used by a different interface.) Then a delay of 48 milliseconds must be provided for the mechanical elements of the printer to position themselves for the next line. The internal timer of 235 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK the 6532 is used for this purpose and the timer word corresponding to the 1024 times factor is used here. The 1024 factor corresponds to a delay of 1024 microseconds or approximately 1 millisecond per delay unit in the timer word. This word is loaded with ‘‘30’’ hexadecimal = ‘48’ decimal. Once it times out, the program exits. The program is shown on Fig 6-22. The memory map for the printer program is shown on Fig 6-21. The two memory locations ‘‘00’”’ and ‘*01”’ contain the pointer to the location of the first character in the memory. In order to use this program, the user should load the value *01’’ at memory location ‘‘A002’’ (DDRB), and ‘‘00’’ in memory location ‘‘A000’’ (IORB) before turning the printer on. The memory locations used by the input/output devices appear on the right of Fig 6-19.

If this line is a ‘‘1”’, we keep looping. When it becomes a ‘‘0’’, we will get the next charac- ter: TST1 BIT IORA READ STATUS BVS_ = TSTI1 It should be remembered that the ‘‘BIT”’ instruction will test a given memory location without disturbing its contents. It will copy bits 6 and 7 respectively in the ‘‘V’’ and ‘‘N’’ flags. We are interested here in testing the value of bit 6 (refer to the printer connection on Fig 6-19). The BVS instruction will test the value of the overflow flag ‘‘V’’, which has been set to be identical to the value of bit 6 of IORB. Its value is therefore the value of the ‘‘character-request’’ line. The next character is obtained from the 20 character table stored at the memory address contained in locations ‘‘00’’ and ‘‘01’’. An indirect access in- struction will result in accessing the first entry of this table. For gen- erality, we want this segment of the program to be able and retrieve any entry within the table. As in any table organization, indexed ad- dressing will, therefore, be used. Register Y is used here as the index register. It contains initially the value ‘‘00”’ which will be incremented through the value 19 before we exit from the loop. An indexed indirect addressing technique is used here: LDA ($00), Y The indexed indirect access is illustrated on Fig 6-23. The contents of memory location ‘‘0001”’ are first accessed. They are then used as the address of the base of the table to accessed. The contents of register Y will be added to the contents of memory location 0001 and this final address will be used as the address of the data to be fetched (see Fig 6-21). This data is the ASCII code for the character to be printed. It is sent to IORA: STA IORA 238 THE PERIPHERALS TABLE 01 ADDRESS LDA ($00), Y BASE ($00) CHARACTER Fig 6-23: indexed Indirect Access FINAL ADDRESS = BASE + Y Once the character has been sent, we must wait for the character re- quest line to become ‘‘1’’ again. A two-instruction loop is used exactly as above: TST2 BIT IORA BVC TST2 The character counter (register Y) is then incremented: INY and tested against the limit value ‘‘20’’ decimal = ‘‘14’’ hexadecimal. As long as the limit value is not reached we re-enter the loop: CPY #314 BNE TST1 The code for the required ‘‘space’’ character is then output on IORA: LDA #$20 STA IORA Finally, we must guarantee the minimal delay between 2 successive 239 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK line printings. The 1,024 factor is used for the timer. The final 48 ms delay is obtained by simply loading the appropriate memory location with the constant specifying the number of milliseconds (refer to Fig 6-19 for the printer memory map): LDA #$30 DECIMAL = 48 STA 11024 The timer flag is then checked continuously until it becomes ‘‘1’’, indicating a timeout: TTIM BIT TIMFLG BPL TTIM The actual printout for the sample 20 character line indicated in the program appears on Fig 6-24: Fig 6-24: Actual 20-Character Printout Exercise 6-10: Connect the printer and the paper-tape reader. The printer should print the contents of the papertape at the end of every line. SUMMARY In this chapter, actual peripherals have been interfaced both from a hardware and software standpoint to the microcomputer board. Full use has been made of the specific capabilities of the PIO registers, and of the addressing techniques provided by the 6502 in order to optimize the programs. The reader should now have acquired all the skills re- quired for realizing his own applications programs in most usual cases. CHAPTER 7 CONCLUSIONS This book has systematically introduced the hardware and software techniques required to connect an actual 6502 board to the outside world. The input-output chips have first been described, along with usual 6502 boards. Then application programs of increasing complex- ity have been presented in chapters 4, 5, and 6. At this point, the read- er should feel confident that he can connect his own 6502 board to usual input-output devices and solve the hardware and software inter- facing problems associated with this. In fact, the author believes that, with the skills acquired now, the reader should be in a position to start solving almost any applications problems of usual complexity. There are naturally cases where specific interfacing problems exist and the reader is encouraged to consult reference C207 ‘‘Microprocessor In- terfacing Techniques’’ for that purpose. If at this point, the reader has skipped the exercises, it is strongly suggested that he go back to chap- ters 4, 5, and 6 and solve all exercises proposed in these chapters, first on paper, then on a real microcomputer board. The Next Step If you have not built any applications board yet, the next logical step is to go to your local electronics store and purchase the few low- cost components required by the applications proposed here. You should then try to write some programs by yourself, without consult- ing this book, and make sure you have acquired the skills required to solve these problems. Use your imagination and you can invent many 241 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK other possible applications, using the same limited hardware, or else additional simple input-output devices. For: the reader interested in more complex programming tech- niques required to implement complex algorithms, a third volume in this series will be published, called ‘‘6502 Games’’. In this volume, much more complex algorithms are introduced, and described, which will allow the reader to play a variety of games ranging from mind- bender to magic squares. The hardware required for these games is minimal (one 16-key keyboard, 15 LED’s and one loudspeaker). It has been found that the time required by each person to learn how to program varies very significantly from one person to the next. However, the next logical step after reading any programming book should be the same: practice. It is hoped that the contents of this book will have brought you the skills for such successful practice. 242 APPENDIX A A 6502 ASSEMBLER IN BASIC INTRODUCTION Developing short programs for the 6502 may be done on paper, and the programs may then be entered on a 6502 board. However, if longer programs are to be developed (say more than a few dozen instructions), or else if a large number of small programs is to be developed, the convenience of an assembler becomes of significant im- portance. Since it is assumed that most readers seriously interested in applying a 6502 to real applications will start developing such pro- grams, this book includes the full listing of an assembler for the 6502 written in BASIC for those who do not already have access to a 6502 assembler. The advantage of an assembler for the 6502 written in BASIC is that it can be run on any computer equipped with BASIC which may be ac- cessible to the user. The version of BASIC used in this program is the one available on Hewlett-Packard computers. It can be characterized as a subset of most microcomputer BASICs in that it does not include the features found on the latter ones. Using this assembler on a com- puter having a different BASIC will involve a translation process. However, the translation effort should be moderate, in view of the fact that most popular BASICs available on microcomputers include many more features than the one which has been used for this assembler. This assembler is therefore essentially upwardly compatible. In fact, a user who is good at programming in his BASIC will pro- 243 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK bably be capable of effecting a significant reduction in the number of instructions used for this assembler. This assembler has been used to assemble a large number of pro- grams for the 6502 and has performed successfully. To the best of our knowledge, it is therefore a reliable product. However, it is included here for educational purposes only and not warranted for any purpose whatsoever. A Microsoft BASIC version of this assembler will be published in the near future for readers interested in this particular version. A complete listing of the assembler is shown in this section, and a sample output demonstrating its operation is shown below. All the programs at the end of Chapter Four have been assembled with this assembler. GENERAL DESCRIPTION ASM 65 is a complete 6502 mnemonic assembler. It recognizes all industry standard mnemonics, and will produce the standard hexa- decimal listings, as shown on the example of Fig A-1. In addition, this assembler provides the industry standard direc- tives, with only exception the use of ‘‘.”’ to indicate current location assignments and references. The directives available are: .BYT, .WORD,.DBYT,.TEXT. The user is referred to any manufacturer’s assembler description for the details of these directives. USING THE ASSEMBLER The ASM 65 is written in Hewlett-Packard 2000 series F BASIC. A description of the features of this particular BASIC implementation appear later in this section. Few changes should be needed to adapt this interpreter to other versions of BASIC to which the reader would have access. ASM 65 operates on serial files. A minimum of three files are equipped and four are normally used. They are: the source file, the symbol table file, a temporary file, and optionally a destination file distinct from the source file. The input file contains the assembly language instructions. It must 244 APPENDIX A ZX CAT SRC sMEMORY BLOCK MOVE PROGRAM *MOVES UP TO 255 BYTES FROM A TABLE STARTING AT sLOC1 TO A TABLE STARTING AT LOC2. LENGTH OF THE sSECTION TO BE MOVED IS IN MOVLEN.

In general, the input lines can be written in free format, with the fields separated by one or more spaces. However, any label must start in column one. Any line without a label may not start in column one. The assembler will automatically format the comment field on the output file. However it will not format the other fields within the in- structions so that the user may tabulate his input statements in any reasonable way for clarity. This feature is intended to improve reada- bility. 245 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK The output file is also ASCII text, including the representation of all numbers. The output file may optionally be printed after the sec- ond pass of the assembler has been executed. A prompt is printed on the listing, or appears on the screen as ‘‘PRINTOUT?”’ and the user may specify ‘‘yes’’ or ‘‘no.”’ The assembler provides extensive diagnostics and will describe all errors it has identified, then list them on the output. In this implementation, the error printout may contain various field markers such as operator field limiters (‘‘!’’), and the internal unre- solved reference delimiter (‘‘**’’). The symbol table gives the usual hexadecimal representation for all symbolic labels used by the program. An example is shown in Fig A-2. SYMBOL TABLE? MOVLEN 0000 Loci 0200 Loc2 0300 Loop 0002 DONE Fig A-2: The Symbol Table SYNTAX Constants Constants may be expressed in any of the four usual number repre- sentations: e Hexadecimal: the constant must be preceded by a ‘‘$’’. Exam- ple: ‘‘LDA $20’ will load the accumulator from memory address ‘*20”’ hexadecimal. e Binary: it must be preceded by a ‘‘%’’. Example: ‘‘LDA % 11111111" will load the accumulator with all ones. e Decimal: usual representation. Example ‘‘LDA #0’’ will load the accumulator with the decimal value zero. *ASCII: must be preceded by a ‘“‘’ ’’. Example: ‘‘LDA’A”’ will load the ASCII code for A into the accumulator. Arithmetic Expressions Arithmetic expressions may be used in the operator field, in a label 246 APPENDIX A assignment, or in a memory allocation instruction. The operand in an arithmetic expression may be a number expressed in any representation, or a label, or a ‘‘-’’ (the current location sym- bol) or any combination of those. The legal operators are ‘‘+’’ and ‘*_.””, In the case where more than one operator is used, the arith- metic expression will be evaluated from left to right. Comments Comments must be preceded by a ‘‘;’’. They may begin in any col- umn including column one. All comments will be justified in the mid- dle of the output sheet unless they begin in column one. Memory Assignments Memory assignments are performed by one or more of the four di- rectives: .BYT — Assigns one byte of data to one memory loca- tion. .WORD — Assigns two bytes of data to two consecutive memory locations, low order byte first. .DBYT — Assigns two bytes of data to two consecutive memory locations, high order byte first. ~TEXT — Converts an ASCII string to hex data, and stores it in consecutive memory locations. The string must be delimited by two identical non- blank characters. There is no end directive— an end-of-file is used instead. Example of a memory assignment: .BYT $2A, WORDCONST -WORD 2, %10 HP2000F BASIC: Hewlett-Packard BASIC is different from many common mini- and microcomputer BASICs, but is easily adapted. The following is a list 247 6502 APPLICATIONS BOOK of features which differ from most BASICs, or from the Dartmouth standard. Files Files are declared in a FILES statement at the beginning of the pro- gram and are numbered in the order in which they appear in it. The ASSIGN statement assigns a file specified by its first argument to a file number specified by the second argument. The third argument is a dummy variable. A star appearing in a FILES statement means a file will later be assigned to that file position by an ASSIGN statement. The READ statement reads the file. Its first argument, preceded by a ‘*#?? is the file number of the file to be read from. If the record number is one, and there is no semicolon, the statement serves to reset the file pointer to Z, as in ‘SREAD #2, 1’’. Any arguments after the semicolon are those variables to be read. The PRINT statement is similar to the read statement. It also has a special form, ‘SPRINT #2,END’’, which makes an end-of-file marker on the file. The IF END # THEN statement operates in a way analogous to a vectored interrupt. When an end-of-file occurs on a read, program ex- ecution will continue at the line number mentioned after the THEN, instead of causing the program to crash. This will occur even if the computer is not currently executing the statement: i.e., the end-of-file vector need only be specified once, unless it needs to be changed. Strings Strings are one dimensional, and can only be dimensioned as such. To assign @ (zero) length to a string, or clear it, a statement of the type ‘‘L$=‘< ’’ is used. Characters in a string are referenced as follows: to reference a substring within a larger string, the form ‘“T§$(a,b)’’ is used where a and b are expressions signifying respectively the first and last character addresses in the main string of the desired substring. Characters in a string are addressed from left to right, starting at I. Example: if A$ = ‘‘ABCDE”’ and the statement ‘‘B$ = A§$(2,3)’’ is ex- ecuted, B$ will become ‘“‘BC’’. The form ‘‘T$(a)’’ references all characters in T$ starting with character #a and continuing on to the end of T$. Example: if A$ = ‘‘12345’’, A$(3) means the substring ‘‘345’’. 248 APPENDIX A The string functions CHR$ and ASC$, which respectively convert an ASCII decimal number into a one-character string, and a one- character string into its decimal ASCII equivalent are not available, so ASM65 reads a string of ordered ASCII characters from a system file called $ASCIIF, which it then uses for number and string conversion. MAX returns the maximum of 2 values. Example: ‘‘B=11 MAX 9”’ would yield 11. MIN returns the minimum of 2 values. LIN when argument in a print statement adds amount of linefeed specified in its to output. The above definitions are intended only as guidelines for the transla- tion of ASM65 into other versions of BASIC.

It is a set of techniques, and in some cases, just a set of components. This book introduces basic interfacing concepts, and then presents, in detail, implementation techniques for both hardware and software. It covers the essential peripherals, from keyboard to floppy disk, as well as standard buses ($100 to IEEE 488) and intro- duces basic troubleshooting techniques. Third expanded edition. be ae.

G402, 52" X 81", ISBN 0-89588-022-9, $12.95 This book is designed as an educational text on ad- vanced programming techniques. It presents a compre- hensive set of algorithms and programming techniques for common computer games. All the programs are developed for the 6502 at the assembly language level. Because programs must reside within less than 1K of memory in order to reside on a single board micro- computer (such as the SYM used in this book), the book covers virtually all aspects of advanced programming: effective algorithm design, data structures design, and effective coding techniques related to storage economy. The reader will learn how to devise strategies suitable for the solution of complex problems, typical of those encountered in games. He/she can also use all the resources of the 6502 and sharpen his/her skills at advanced programming techniques. All the games presented in this book can be played on a real board (the SYM), and require a very few additional compo- nents. A pre-assembled games board is also available as an option, as well as a cassette incorporating all the programs presented in the book. CONTENTS: INTRODUCTION: The games board interconnect general organization. MUSIC: Play tunes (13 notes, plus silence) from the keyboard! Notes are recorded in memory for playback. MAGIC SQUARES: Player must obtain a perfect square of LEDs by pressing keys. Each key complements a portion of the pattern displayed. HEXGUESS: Player must guess the secret number generated by the computer (a 2-digit hexadecimal number). Computer responds by indicating how far off the player’s guess is. A game is played in ten sets. ECHO: The computer plays a tune and flashes lights. Player must duplicate the sequence (called SIMON and FOLLOW ME by toy manufacturers’ trademarks). TRANSLATE: The computer displays a binary number. Player must press the correct hex key. For 2 players. SLOTS: This is a Vegas-type slot machine. Player scores according to the LEDs lit at the end of aspin. SPINNER: A game of skill. Player must capture a light rotating around LED squares. MINDBENDER: Computer generates a sequence. Player must guess the sequence by trial and error. Computer indicates a correct match in the right position. (Called MASTER- MIND, areg. TM by toy manufacturers. ) BLACKJACK: Play blackjack against the computer! Use a deck of 10 cards (LEDs). Player must score 13, and can hit or pass. Don’t bust! TIC-TAC-TOE: Player will lose! However, as player keeps losing, the computer will drop its IQ level and give player a change to win. An excellent player will draw continuously. 11.
