hey every1....i'm programming a STK microcontroller which is an 8051 microcontroller in c language. the program makes the 7segmant count down from 9999 to 0 on a 4 7segment display. i want the 4 7segment to start blinking when it gets to 50 and blink till it gets to 0 i.e blink every second..and oh i forgot to add the delay is for 1 second.
i'v programmed the microcontroller and it counts down without a problem...bt d problem comes in the blinking part....d blinking is nt in uniform n i think its cos each digit is controlled separately at a different time....its blinkin could synchronize for 20secs and then go out of phase for d next 10 secs , go back in phase for d nxt 5 secs n ends out of phase......nxt time, it alternates i.e go out of phase for the 20 secs...go back in phase n d rest....sorrry i cnt give ma code now..bt i promise to do so..soon....
i desperately need an ansa..its drivin me nuts...PLSSSSS HELP....and oh!...am using d keil uvision compiler and proteus 7 professional simulator.....tnx in advance

in Christ and with Christ for ever...

If you could post your project.. code and proteus simulation it would help.

Decrement the value of unit place and also decrment a counter whihch will test for a count upto 950 as follows ( four user define counter cnt1 = ff, cnt2 = ff, cnt3 = ff ,cnt4 = 87h). As 950 occurs set a user define bit which will say the controller that already 950 count are completed now start dec with blinking
And you can now do the blinking with decrementing the unit place digit , setting all 7 segment OFF calling delay and setting all four 7 segment as per order,
Hai na simple...Reply me if this work or not.Plz PM me.

no zodiac sign but believe in the hardwork:-)

ok.. dis is my source code..it counts down from 999 to 0 and starts blinking when it gets to 995...

CODE:

adesewa,
here is the pseudo code, if you haven't got the answer yet :-)

// this will blink the display 10 times if count is less than 50

initialize_timerx for say 50ms
let var_b = 9999
let var_a = 20
blink = 0

here:
go to sleep -- idle mode
is var_b == 0( put blink as 0 ; var_b as 9999)
loop here

timerx_interrupt:
{
is var_b < 50 ?( compliment blink)

is blink == 0( display var_b else switch off display )

dec var_a

is var_a == 0? ( dec var_b and put var_a = 20 again )

}
