Experiment 3

This embedded C program for the 8051 microcontroller counts the number of times a switch connected to pin P1.0 is pressed and released, using a debouncing mechanism to prevent multiple counts from switch bouncing. It increments a press count variable and toggles LEDs connected to port P2 each time the switch is confirmed pressed. The program runs in an infinite loop, continuously monitoring the switch state and applying delays for debouncing.

embedded C program for the 8051 microcontroller that counts the number of times a switch is pressed

and released. The program assumes that the switch is connected to a specific pin (e.g., P1.0) and uses a
debouncing mechanism to avoid multiple counts due to switch bouncing.

#include <reg51.h>

sbit SWITCH = P1^0; // Define the switch pin (P1.0)

#define DEBOUNCE_DELAY 20 // Define debounce delay in milliseconds

#define LED_PORT P2 // Define LED_PORT as P2 (entire port for LEDs)

unsigned int press_count = 0; // Variable to store the number of times the switch is pressed

void delay_ms(unsigned int ms) {

unsigned int i, j;

for (i = 0; i < ms; i++)

for (j = 0; j < 123; j++); // Approximate delay for 1ms

void main() {

SWITCH = 1; // Configure switch pin as input (pull-up resistor assumed)

LED_PORT = 0x00; // Initialize all LEDs on P2 to off

while (1) {

if (SWITCH == 0) { // Check if switch is pressed (active low)

delay_ms(DEBOUNCE_DELAY); // Wait for debounce


if (SWITCH == 0) { // Confirm switch is still pressed

press_count++; // Increment the press count

P3 = press_count; // Display press_count on P3 (optional)

LED_PORT = ~LED_PORT; // Toggle all LEDs on P2

while (SWITCH == 0); // Wait for switch release

delay_ms(DEBOUNCE_DELAY); // Wait for debounce

Explanation:

1. Switch Pin Configuration:

- The switch is connected to `P1.0` and is assumed to be active low (i.e., it reads `0` when pressed and
`1` when released).

- The pin is configured as an input by setting it to `1` (pull-up resistor assumed).

2. Debouncing:

- Mechanical switches often bounce when pressed or released, causing multiple transitions. A simple
debouncing mechanism is implemented using a delay (`delay_ms`).

3. Counting Presses:

- The program checks if the switch is pressed (`SWITCH == 0`).

- If pressed, it waits for the debounce delay and confirms the switch is still pressed.

- If confirmed, it increments the `press_count` variable and toggles an LED (optional).

- The program then waits for the switch to be released and applies another debounce delay.
4. LED Indication:

- An LED connected to `P2.0` is toggled each time the switch is pressed (optional).

5. Main Loop:

- The program continuously monitors the switch in an infinite loop.

Notes:

- The `delay_ms` function is a simple loop-based delay and may not be accurate. For precise timing,
consider using a timer.

- The program assumes a pull-up resistor is used with the switch. If a pull-down resistor is used, the logic
will need to be inverted.

- The `press_count` variable can be displayed on an LCD or sent over a serial port for further use.
