F28335 - GPIO problems when setting output.

Hello,

I have got another question. I will try to explain keeping quite generic.

I am trying to run a program, that switches GPIO in certain patterns. This is to happen in an ADC isr.

The strange thing is, that when I step through it, the pins are set high and low without any issues, while there is no switching, when their is no break point.

At first I thought possible that one state is set for a too short period of time, although I was timing this quite slowly (supposing my mistake). But I noticed, that the last state that was set when stepping through, is remembered when letting the program run again and it wouldn't change.

I would be glad if you had any suggestions.

Regards,

E_

    E,


    Are you writing to the GPyDAT registers directly to set the output pattern? If so, you'll want to use the GPySET, GPyCLEAR, and GPyTOGGLE registers instead. There's a FAQ about this here:

    Hello Adam,

    thank you for your quick answer. I tried those methods. I even tried using delays.
    Meanwhile I am getting all of them to work when it just comes to switching, but I'm still not satisfied.

    I am toggling GPIOs 32 and 34 for example, while 32 is the "MSB" and the other the LSB.
    Monitoring the outputs, I got this (sorry, my oscilloscope didn't recognize my USB):

    as you see, there is no clean toggling counting from 0 to 2. This strange overlap is a complementary pulse on the GPIOs at approx. 300Hz. GPIO34 should be switched off, before this "interference"  happens. I tried combining GPIO34 with 30, as they are connecerted to differ3ent multiplexers, but no change.

    33 and 31 on the other hand do perfectly "collaborate".

    regards,

    solved that problem - it was on my side. (in most cases the problem is sitting in front of the screen)

    Now I am wondering why it worked with the other GPIOs (that is why I was confused), but ok, I will adapt code, so that no "accident" happens.
