INTERRUPTS- PIC16F877A

hi frnds. i am working on pic16f877a controller. i have a doubt, can we use both RB0/EXT interrupt and RB PORT CHANGE interrupt in the same isr, with each interrupt signal triggering different processes??

Yes, you can. For all the interrupts, PC will point to 04h and you will need to further check the flags to see what action caused interrupt and execute instructions corresponding to that.

Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

yep. i tried it using mikroc and i got a perfect output in proteus simulation. but for the same code, the ic does not responds. there is some real time issue

this is my code. what could be my possible issue??

int count=0; //initialise count variable

INTCON.GIE = 1;//enable global interrupt (INTCON is interrupt register)
INTCON.INTE = 1;//enable external interrupt pin i.e RB0
INTCON.RBIE = 1;//enable port change interrupt in port B (pins 4 to7)
while(1)
{
if(PORTD.F0==1) //RFID TRUE VALUE
{
while(PORTD.F0); //hold the value
PORTC.F6=1; //RD3 be RF at engine
motor(); //function call
}
}
}
//interrupt service routine
void interrupt()
{

if(INTCON.INTF==1) //check rb0 int flag
{
count++; //increment count
INTCON.INTF=0; //clear rb0 int flag
}
if(INTCON.RBIF==1) //check rb port change int flag
{
while(PORTB.F4==1); //hold the value
count--; //decrement count
a=PORTB; //read portb to eliminate mismatch conditon after triggering
INTCON.RBIF=0; //clear rb port change int flag
}
if (count>2)
{
PORTC.F7=1; //send high pulse to 2nd rf pin
}
else if(count<=2)
{
PORTC.F7=0; //send low pulse to 2nd rf pin
}

}

I cannot comment on the code. I never had experience coding in MikroC. I write in assembly.

By the way, does PIC respond to external interrupt?

Not 100% sure as I have to look into datasheet for that more but if you have enabled,

Pin Change Notification and EXT interrupt together.
Means you are getting EXT interrupt when pin goes HIGH or LOW and you also get interrupt when status of the pin change So it should trigger both interrupt but you also have to check about priority.

yep, it responds sometimes with issues like a delayed output when checked with a simple blink program, but for the code mentioned above, there is no response from the pic, even the main function does not occur

i am using two different flags for RB0 and PORT change interrupt and checking them with a "if" condition. and also pin change interrupts occur only in pins RB4 to RB7. EXT interrupt occurs at RB0.

Ok, Then you might check with the hardware you have. when you are changing the input pin have you measured with DMM if that pin really goes HIGH or LOW or not?
Also one more point you might have to look have you configured your that Pin in Input direction or not. From above code it is not looking like you have make it input. It's worth trying to setup as input along with measuring with DMM if it is switching the logic HIGH and LOW really or not.

I will try configuring the direction flow of register and also the DMM and then i will reply😀
