Observing LED Outputs
Unlock Audio Lesson
Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Lesson
Today we will discuss how to observe LED outputs when we use the 8255 PPI. Why do you think observing output states is crucial after executing our programs?
It's important to know if our programs are working as intended.
Exactly! We can determine if our assembly code is functioning as expected. Now, suppose we expected Port A's LEDs to display '55H.' What would that look like?
It would mean alternating ON and OFF states because 55 in binary is 01010101.
That's correct! Always visualize the binary when working with LEDs. Additionally, keep in mind that running the program should help us confirm our expected outcomes. Let’s write down our observations after execution.
What do we do if the observed state doesn't match the expected state?
Great question! We would debug our program, checking our assembly code and ensuring correct connections in the setup before making any amendments.
So, to recap: checking outputs allows us to validate our programming efforts and understand circuits. Always compare results with expectations!
Reading Switch Inputs

Let’s shift gears to reading switch inputs. Can someone summarize the purpose of reading inputs via the 8255?
We read switch states to see how the inputs change based on user interaction.
Correct! It allows us to interface with various devices. When we read data from Port B for switches, how do we ensure we map that data correctly?
We need to map the read values properly to the output on Port C.
Right again! Observing outputs from Port C can be a direct feedback loop based on the switch inputs. What outcomes do we expect in the LED states on Port C?
They should reflect the states of the switches connected to Port B.
Excellent! After execution, reflecting on our observations alongside the expected LED states helps us verify our program's correctness.
Let’s document any discrepancies between expected and observed states following the experiment. It’s pivotal for debugging and learning!
Results Discussion and Analysis

After executing our programs, let’s discuss our results. Why is it critical to analyze the actual vs. expected outcomes?
Analyzing results shows whether our interfacing and coding was successful.
Exactly! Discrepancies will guide your understanding of where things may not have gone as planned. Can anyone tell me what adjustments may need to be made?
We might need to check our control word configurations or the circuit connections.
Perfect! Understanding how to optimize configurations and connections directly pertains to our learning. Now, let's ensure we document our findings clearly.
Shall we include suggestions for future experiments?
Certainly! Documenting suggestions after evaluations can enrich future learning and experiments.
Introduction & Overview

Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, students document their observations after executing assembly programs that control LEDs and read switch inputs using the 8255 PPI with the 8085 microprocessor. They assess the actual behavior of the output and input against expected results, fostering a deeper understanding of parallel I/O interfacing.
Detailed
Detailed Summary
The 'Observations and Results' section serves a critical function in affirming the practical application of theoretical knowledge regarding the 8255 PPI interfaced with the 8085 microprocessor. In this part, students are required to execute various assembly programs (e.g., for controlling LEDs and reading switch inputs) while meticulously recording their observations in provided tables. This includes noting the expected states of the LEDs against what is actually observed in real-time after program execution. The section emphasizes the importance of practical outcomes and allows students to assess the efficacy of their programming and interfacing skills. Further reflections in the conclusion help synthesize findings and solidify lessons learned throughout the experiment.

Program 1: Static Output to Port A

Expected State of LEDs on Port A (55H = Observed State of LEDs on 01010101b) Port A
PA7: OFF, PA6: ON, PA5: OFF, PA4: ON
PA3: OFF, PA2: ON, PA1: OFF, PA0: ON
Detailed Explanation
In this program, we expect the LEDs connected to Port A to display a specific binary pattern represented by 55H, which is 01010101 in binary. Each bit of this binary number corresponds to an individual LED. For instance, PA0 corresponds to the least significant bit (LSB) and represents 1 (LED ON) when high, while PA7, the most significant bit (MSB), represents 0 (LED OFF) when low. Thus, we observe:
- PA7 (bit 7) is OFF (0)
- PA6 (bit 6) is ON (1)
- PA5 (bit 5) is OFF (0)
- PA4 (bit 4) is ON (1)
- PA3 (bit 3) is OFF (0)
- PA2 (bit 2) is ON (1)
- PA1 (bit 1) is OFF (0)
- PA0 (bit 0) is ON (1).
Examples & Analogies
Think of each bit controlling a light switch for a room. If you visualize it like flipping switches, 1 means the switch is ON (light is on), and 0 means it's OFF (light is off). Thus, with the sequence corresponding to 55H, you can imagine a room where some lights are turned on while others remain off, creating a distinct pattern of illumination.
Program 2: Blinking LEDs on Port A

Observation Confirmation (Yes/No)
LEDs on Port A blink continuously (ON/OFF).
The blinking rate is perceptible.
Detailed Explanation
In this program, the objective is to make the LEDs connected to Port A blink. The program is designed in a loop where it turns all LEDs ON by sending a high signal (FFH) followed by a delay, and then turns them OFF by sending a low signal (00H) followed by another delay. The rate at which these changes occur makes it visually perceivable that the LEDs are blinking.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a party where lights are continuously turned ON and OFF to create a rhythm. Just like the disco lights that switch on and off in sync with music, the LEDs in this experiment blink at regular intervals, creating a lively effect.

Fill in the table for a few different switch combinations.
Switch States (PB3 Expected LEDs Observed LEDs Read Data
PB2 PB1 PB0) on PC3 PC2 PC1 on PC3 PC2 PC1 (Accumulator
PC0 PC0 after IN)
0 0 0 0 (All OFF) 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 1 (PB0 ON) 0 0 0 1
0 0 1 0 (PB1 ON) 0 0 1 0
1 0 1 1 (PB3, PB1, 1 0 1 1
PB0 ON)
Detailed Explanation
This program reads the states of the switches connected to Port B and outputs the corresponding states to Port C lower, which is connected to LEDs. The expected outcomes are based on the actions taken on the switches. For example, when PB0 is pressed, the accumulator reads a value that corresponds to that switch being ON and forwards this state to the LEDs connected at PC0 to PC3.
Examples & Analogies
Consider this like a home automation system where each switch represents a room light switch. When you toggle a switch (like pressing PB0), the system instantly reflects this by showing the light status on a display panel (the LEDs on PC0 to PC3). If PB0 is ON, the light on the panel will glow, representing that the switch is 'ON'.
