Using Push Button Switch with PIC Microcontroller

Using Push Button Switch with PIC Microcontroller

Introduction

This article is meant for beginners in the field of microcontrollers. When I started with microcontrollers, as everyone I also need to learn how to interface a switch with microcontroller. Here we use PIC Microcontroller 16F877A and MikroC Pro compiler. This tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge about programming PIC Microcontroller, else you read the article Blinking LED using PIC Microcontroller.

Push to On Switch
Push to On Switch
Push to Off Switch
Push to Off Switch

In this tutorial we use a push button switch, when we press on it an LED glows for a second. Push Buttons are mechanical switches. Then can make or break connection between two terminals and comes back to stable state when released. They are called as Push to ON or Push to OFF switches respectively.

Circuit Diagram

Using Push Button Switch - PIC Microcontroller
Using Push Button Switch – PIC Microcontroller

Note: VDD and VSS of the pic microcontroller is not shown in the circuit diagram. VDD should be connected to +5V and VSS to GND.

Push button switch is connected to the first bit of PORT D (RD0) which is configured as an input pin. Which is connected to a pull up resistor such that this pin is at Vcc potential when the switch is not pressed. When the switch is pressed this pin RD0 will be grounded. The LED is connected to the first bit of PORT B (RB0) and a resistor is connected in series with it to limit the current.


MikroC Program

void main()
{
  TRISD.F0 = 1; //Configure 1st bit of PORTD as input
  TRISB.F0 = 0; //Configure 1st bit of PORTB as output
  PORTB.F0 = 0; //LED OFF
  do
  {
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0)   //If the switch is pressed
    {
       Delay_ms(100);    //Switch Debounce
       if(PORTD.F0 == 0)//If the switch is still pressed
       {
         PORTB.F0 = 1; //LED ON
         Delay_ms(1000); //1 Second Delay
         PORTB.F0 = 0; //LED OFF
       }
    }
 }while(1);
}

In the above program you may noticed that the switch is checked twice with a 10 millisecond delay. This is to avoid invalid clicks by Switch Bouncing.

  • in that example he used pull up, the input received voltage from VCc, which make it 1,once the button pressed the input will become 0,that is why our boss instruct the machine that if(port of the input ==0),the port set to be output should be on.

  • Above tutorial is not working properly. I was not able to control LED by switch , LED is glowing like blinking. can you please write the code for that?

  • hii sir, i want to program led as,
    when i pressed 1st button then 1st led on.
    when i pressed 2nd button then 1st led off,without realising the 1st button.

    please sir tell me.

  • Better try some other PORTS. For PORTA you need to configure it as digital input first.

    Don’t forget to configure TRIS register for setting whether a pin is Input/Output.

  • can help me draw PIC18F4550 AND CODE
    MY QUESTION
    exercise
    Sw1 = led1 on,buz on
    sw2 = led2 on,buz off

  • Hi, I have watched your tutorial on “Using Push Button Switch with PIC Microcontroller” and I am trying to make something similar, that is, output voltage “3.3V” if input is bigger than 1V using PIC24F16KL402. But initially I want to implement simple output voltage to turn an LED on. I’ve tried:

    #include
    #include
    #include “trial.h”
    #include

    void main(void) {
    TRISB = 0b00000000;
    while(1){
    PORTBbits.RB3 = 1;
    }
    }

    But nothing is happening. I’m using mplab with pickit 3, everything seems to be fine, the code compiles and gets downloaded to the pic but not working.
    Help! Thanks!

  • Hi Ligo
    I loaded your schematic into proteus with the code and couldn’t get the simulation to run until I replaced the pull-up resistor with a simple diode.

    I would like to use your example on a machine. It works like this:
    1. I have to push 2 buttons together to get an input to the micro controller
    2. Air cylinder 1 must move for a set time and then stop.
    3 Air cylinder 2 must move for a set time and then stop.
    4. Air cylinder 1 must continue.
    5. Air cylinder 3 must move for a set time and then stop.
    6. Air cylinder 1 must return to home position.

    Am I able to do this or is there a better way?

    thankyou in advance
    John

  • hi sir
    i want to do on the led when switch is pushed.
    if the same switch is again pushed then led will be turned off

    for that ques u replied like
    led = off
    if(switch on)
    {
    led = !led (! = not)
    }
    can pls tell me exact code..

  • Excuse me.
    How could I write a code of an example below:
    -single click PB0 => PD0=1 /LED1 ON/
    -double click PB0 => PD1=1 /LED2 ON/
    Thanks in advanced.

  • May i know how to make PIC16F877A coding to select different location of city?

  • how to select different location of city by using switch button in pic16f877A microC?
    anyone can help me please??

  • hello sir , i need your help, i need if i press switch (switch1), LED should be On. If again press and hold same switch(switch1),other LED should be On state, please its urgent , can you send me the code please sir

  • Sir, im trying to implement a logic where button1 when pressed sets a pin x to 1 and clears pin y to 0. button 2 when pressed sets pin y to 1 and clears pin x. i can get one setting but the other button cannot set its pin , it only clears the other pin. plz help. heres my code.

    void main() {
    TRISD.F6=1;
    TRISD.F2=0;
    TRISD.F5=1;
    TRISD.F3=0;
    TRISD.F4=1;
    TRISC.F4=0;

    while(1){
    if(PORTD.F6==0 ) //If the switch is pressed
    {
    Delay_ms(100); //Switch Debounce
    if(PORTD.F6==0)//If the switch is still pressed
    {
    PORTD.F2 = 1; //LED ON
    PORTD.F3=0; // turn off others
    }
    }
    if(PORTD.F5==0 ) //If the switch is pressed

    {
    PORTD.F2=0; // turn off others
    PORTD.F3 = 1; //LED ON

    }
    }
    }
    }

  • Sorry, it works but I could not understand why LED turns on when the press is not pressed even if the code tells the inverse?

  • Hello sir i tried this and i got the led off when the switch is released. When the switch is pressed the led is on and when released its off. But actually what I want is to make the led on on single press and release and the state must be saved and off only when there is another switch press. So can you give me some idea. I have tried many things but not working. Thanks for the help

  • iam sorry but could you help me
    i want to turn on a led by pressing on a switch and wont turn off till a minute is passed or the by pressing on the same switch

  • Hi Ligo George..,

    I need your help am working on pic16f877a and using XC8 complier. Have interfaced pushbutton if I press the button value should increment.. its working fine but one more condition – if I keep press and hold down for long time fastely value should increment how to do this I dont no am trying but not achieved. Below is my button code

    void main()
    {
    int oldstate;
    oldstate = 0;

    while(1)
    {
    if(RA4 == 1) // switch

    {

    oldstate = 1; // update flag

    }

    if(oldstate &&(RA4 == 0))

    {

    val++;

    if(val > 10)

    {

    val = 1;

    }

    oldstate = 0; // update flag

    }
    }

  • can any one tell the logic used in the main function?i mean plz explain if u understand

  • The codes given in this article will work on Proteus without any problem. But when using in hardware you should make sure that configuration bits are correct.

  • i tried mine codes but not succeed.and i want to use portb as input and want to use interrupt service routine.

    thanks.

  • hi i want to do on-off the led one by one If the switch is unpressed.its i call Task_1. it work fine .those are

    as

    void Task_1()
    {
    if(PORTD.F0 == 1)//If the switch is unpressed . its free runing code
    {
    PORTB.F0 = 1; //LED ON
    Delay_ms(1000); //1 Second Delay
    PORTB.F0 = 0; //LED OFF

    PORTB.F1 = 1; //LED ON
    Delay_ms(1000); //1 Second Delay
    PORTB.F1 = 0; //LED OFF

    PORTB.F2 = 1; //LED ON
    Delay_ms(1000); //1 Second Delay
    PORTB.F2 = 0; //LED OFF

    PORTB.F3 = 1; //LED ON
    Delay_ms(1000); //1 Second Delay
    PORTB.F3 = 0; //LED OFF
    }}

    now i want to modified code as, if switch is pressed 1 time PORTB.F0 = 1; LED on-off till 20sec , if agen

    pressed PORTB.F1 = 1; LED on-off till 25sec ,if agen pressed PORTB.F2 = 1; LED on-off till 30sec , if agen

    pressed PORTB.F3 = 1; LED on-off till 25sec . Switch Debounce time is 100 ms , its i call Task_2
    if switch is pressed more then Switch Debounce time , mcu extit Task_2
    so now code is

    void Task_2()
    {
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0) //If the switch is pressed 1 time
    {
    Delay_ms(100); //Switch Debounce
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0)//If the switch is still pressed
    {
    PORTB.F0 = 1; //LED ON
    Delay_ms(1000); //1 Second Delay
    PORTB.F0 = 0; //LED OFF
    }
    }}
    for 2nd time whats need ? ?
    Can you please help….?

    when i write this the led is already on and when i push the button it turns off what is wrong with my program

  • and hoe do I use the PORTB on change interrupt? sorry for questions I’m a beginner in using PIC thank you for the concern

  • thank you but my concern is when the button is released then the relay1 is off and the relay2 is on what do you think about this? thank you for your reply

  • Try like this :
    if(switch pressed)
    Relay 1 ON
    while(switch pressed); // LOOP HERE
    Relay 1 OFF
    Relay 2 ON

    Better solution is to use PORTB On Change Interrupt.

  • hello! can i have an idea about the program for this situtation;
    when the button is pressed, the port connected to relay1 will go high, then when the button is released the the port connected to relay2 will go high while the port in relay1 will turn low and after the buttton is still release the port will go off.
    can you help me with this?

  • Hi. How can I use the same button to change the pattern of the blinking of the led? for example;

    Button’s 1st press: the led will turn on and stays on
    Button’s 2nd press: the led will blink 5 times
    Button’s 3rd press: the led will blink 3 times

    I can’t seem to get it to work using the same button. Thanks in advance!

  • 1st switch working but 2nd switch not working. here is code

    void main()
    {
    TRISD.F0 = 1; //Configure 1st bit of PORTD as input
    TRISB.F0 = 0; //Configure 1st bit of PORTB as output
    PORTB.F0 = 0; //LED OFF
    do
    {
    // LED 1
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0) //If the switch is pressed
    {
    Delay_ms(10); //Switch Debounce
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0)//If the switch is still pressed
    {
    PORTB.F0 = !PORTB.F0; // LED out port
    }
    }
    Delay_ms(10); // LED Delay

    // LED 2

    if(PORTD.F1 == 0) //If the switch is pressed
    {
    Delay_ms(10); //Switch Debounce
    if(PORTD.F1 == 0)//If the switch is still pressed
    {
    PORTB.F1 = !PORTB.F1; // LED out port
    }
    }
    Delay_ms(10); // LED Delay

    }while(1);

    }

  • Do you kindly give some example how to configure PIC12F675 8 pin microcontroller I/Os in micro c

  • how can i do coding mikroc when 1st switch press 1st led on and 2nd switch press 2nd led on?

  • Thank you it’s working,
    and now how can coding fast switch press fast led on, and 2nd switch press 2nd led on.

  • Try this :
    void main()
    {
    TRISD.F0 = 1; //Configure 1st bit of PORTD as input
    TRISB.F0 = 0; //Configure 1st bit of PORTB as output
    PORTB.F0 = 0; //LED OFF
    do
    {
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0) //If the switch is pressed
    {
    Delay_ms(100); //Switch Debounce
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0)//If the switch is still pressed
    {
    PORTB.F0 = !PORTB.F0;
    }
    }
    Delay_ms(200);
    }while(1);

    }

  • not working hare code:

    void main()
    {
    TRISD.F0 = 1; //Configure 1st bit of PORTD as input
    TRISB.F0 = 0; //Configure 1st bit of PORTB as output
    PORTB.F0 = 0; //LED OFF
    do
    {
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0) //If the switch is pressed
    {
    Delay_ms(10); //Switch Debounce
    if(PORTD.F0 == 0)//If the switch is still pressed
    {
    PORTB.F0 = !PORTB.F0;
    }
    }

    }while(1);

  • hear is push button switch when press led on and automatic off.

    how can i do coding mikroc when push button press led on and again press push button led off.

  • Hello George.. I need help that might be a different switch debouncing. I need to press a key and hold it for 3 seconds to enter in some type o programming mode. “lets say, turn ON an LED, or change some variable value” After I entered I should press and hold the key again for 3 seconds to exit.. If I use the same explanation for deboucing with more delay can Will that work safely?

  • hi i want to do on the led when switch is pushed.
    if the same switch is again pushed then led will be turned off..please help.

    Can you please help….?

  • hi i want to do on the led when switch is pushed.
    if the same switch is again pushed then led will be turned off..please help.

  • i want to trigger vibrating wire sensor by using a square wave with the interval 1 to 2 ms provide me a code because my code is not working properly

  • i am working hard but still i cant done, my last code i share here please help me for button and lcd interfacing in 16g877a in micro c

  • If the circuit diagram and program are correct .. it should work.. ..
    Try using the hex file and circuit diagram provided by us..
    .. Try changing your crystal..

  • excuse me sir… how do i know whether my picbroken or not….because i just bought it and test above code on a breadboard…the pic also didnt work on pic kit

  • yeah thanks man….do i have to add another power supply if i wanna use 24v 5pin relay in this circuit??

  • i’ve make a little adjustment to your circuit…i disable the switch debounce function… can u add another push button on RD1 to switch off the led….im using mikroC

  • Hi, I have a doubt in LCD interfacing,I have connected PIC16f877a and LCD in breadboard,how can i give a power supply to breadboard and also how to dumb my code in to PIC.

  • changing of idea here,ignore the degree of rotation..i just want it to rotate clockwise and anticlockwise automatically.

  • for this time,im using a 12v dc motor .i do this project is just only to proof the concept ..can u help me in doing the coding and circuit?i need to use PIC too..

  • If you want to control exact degree.. then use servo motor or stepper motor………. If the application requires good torque use stepper motor… the programming and circuit will depends on the type of motor you are using…

  • Hi..i need some help here. im doing a project that need to move 3 motors move 180 degree back and forth in sequence with delay time of 5 seconds each using PIC.this project need only one switch to operate. when the switch is pressed,the first motor will rotate 180 degree back and forth.after the first motor back to its original position,the second motor will operate same as the first motor.same goes to the third motor.the operation stop when the third motor back to its original position.

    i need help on circuit diagram as well as coding that can be use in proteus software.

  • thank you so much.Can you help me for stepper motor project??? I want to do project based on stepper motor with speed increment and decrement switch using pic 18f4550.
    Please give reply.Thank you.

  • F0 denotes the first pin of PORTB …… F1 denotes second pin…

    PORT register determines the logic level on a pin… while TRIS register determines whether a pin is input or output…
