|
||
|
||
### 1.1 Executive Summary
|
||
|
||
This document describes a multi-base arithmetic calculator implemented on the LPC1768 ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller. The system performs calculations in Binary (Base 2), Octal (Base 8), Decimal (Base 10), and Hexadecimal (Base 16) number systems.
|
||
|
||

|
||
- Single-digit 7-segment display for quick reference
|
||
- Three arithmetic operations: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication
|
||
- Shift-key operator access mechanism
|
||
- Hardware debouncing for stable input
|
||

## 4. Software Architecture
|
||
|
||
### 4.1 System Design Overview
|
||
|
||
The software follows a polled input, state-based architecture with three primary layers:
|
||
|
||
1. **Application Layer:** User interface and calculator logic
|
||
2. **Hardware Abstraction:** LCD, keypad, and display control functions
|
||
3. **Hardware Access:** Direct register manipulation
|
||
|
||

### 4.3 Global State Variables
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
// Calculator state
|
||
unsigned int current_base; // Active base (2, 8, 10, 16)
|
||
unsigned int input_num; // Current input number
|
||
unsigned int stored_num; // First operand
|
||
unsigned int operation; // Pending operation (0-3)
|
||
unsigned int result; // Calculation result
|
||
|
||
// Input state
|
||
unsigned int key, last_key; // Key scan results
|
||
unsigned int stable; // Debounce counter
|
||

|
||
|
||
// Mode button state
|
||
unsigned int button_state, last_button_state;
|
||
unsigned int button_stable; // Button debounce counter
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 4.4 Constant Definitions
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
// Operational modes
|
||
#define MODE_BIN 2
|
||
#define MODE_OCT 8
|
||
#define MODE_DEC 10
|

|
||
#define ROW_BASE 19
|
||
#define COL_MASK (0x0F << COL_BASE)
|
||
#define ROW_MASK (0x0F << ROW_BASE)
|

#define SEG_SHIFT 4
|
||
#define DIGIT_EN (1<<23)
|
||
#define LCD_DATA_SHIFT 23
|

|
||
#define LCD_RS (1<<27)
|
||
#define LCD_EN (1<<28)
|
||
#define MODE_BUTTON (1<<12)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 4.5 Main Program Flow
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
int main(void){
|
||
// Initialize hardware
|
||
configure_pins();
|
||
configure_gpio();
|
||
lcd_init();
|
||
|
||
// Initial display
|
||
display_mode();
|
||
display_input();
|
||
|
||
// Main loop
|
||
for(;;){
|
||
// Input acquisition
|
||
shift_active = is_key0_pressed();
|
||
key = scan_keypad();
|
||
button_state = scan_mode_button();
|
||
|
||
// Debouncing
|
||
debounce_keypad();
|
||
debounce_button();
|
||
|
||
// Mode change
|
||
if(stable_mode_press()){
|
||
cycle_mode();
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// Key processing
|
||
if(stable_key_press()){
|
||
if(shift_active){
|
||
process_operator(key);
|
||
} else {
|
||
process_digit(key);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// Display update
|
||
update_7segment();
|
||
|
||
delay(3000); // 3ms scan interval
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 5. Functional Specification
|
||
|
||
### 5.1 Numerical Base Modes
|
||
|
||
| Mode | Base | Valid Keys | Input Example | Display |
|
||
|------|------|------------|---------------|---------|
|
||
| DEC | 10 | 0-9 | 123 | "123" |
|
||
| BIN | 2 | 0-1 | 1011 | "1011" |
|
||
| OCT | 8 | 0-7 | 177 | "177" |
|
||
| HEX | 16 | 0-9, A-F | 1A2F | "1A2F" |
|
||
|
||
**Input Accumulation Algorithm:**
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
// For any base:
|
||
input_num = input_num * current_base + key_value;
|
||
|
||
// Example (HEX): A, B → AB
|
||
// Step 1: 0 * 16 + 10 = 10
|
||
// Step 2: 10 * 16 + 11 = 171 (0xAB)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 5.2 Operator Functions
|
||
|
||
**Shift Key Paradigm:** Key 0 acts as a modifier for operator access.
|
||
|
||
| Key Combo | Function | Operation | Display |
|
||
|-----------|----------|-----------|---------|
|
||
| 0 + B | Addition | stored + input | "Op: +" |
|
||
| 0 + C | Clear | Reset all | "Op: CLR" |
|
||
| 0 + D | Subtraction | stored - input | "Op: -" |
|
||
| 0 + E | Multiplication | stored × input | "Op: *" |
|
||
| 0 + F | Equals | Calculate result | "Res: XXX" |
|
||
|
||
**Operation Sequence:**
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
1. Enter first number
|
||
2. Hold Key 0 + Press operator (B/D/E)
|
||
3. Enter second number
|
||
4. Hold Key 0 + Press F (equals)
|
||
5. View result on LCD
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 5.3 Input Processing
|
||
|
||
**Debouncing:** Key must be stable for 3 consecutive scans (9ms total).
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
if(key == last_key){
|
||
if(stable < 5) stable++;
|
||
} else {
|
||
last_key = key;
|
||
stable = 0;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
if(stable == 3 && key != 0xFF){
|
||
process_key(key);
|
||
stable = 5; // Lock-out
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Digit Validation:**
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
unsigned int is_valid_digit(unsigned int key){
|
||
if(key >= 16) return 0;
|
||
if(current_base == MODE_BIN && key >= 2) return 0;
|
||
if(current_base == MODE_OCT && key >= 8) return 0;
|
||
if(current_base == MODE_DEC && key >= 10) return 0;
|
||
return 1; // Valid in HEX
|
||
}
|
||
```

||
|
||
if(num == 0){
|
||
lcd_data('0');
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||

// Extract digits in reverse
|
||
while(num > 0 && i < 16){
|
||
unsigned int digit = num % base;
|
||
if(digit < 10)
|
||
buffer[i++] = '0' + digit;
|
||
else
|
||
buffer[i++] = 'A' + (digit - 10);
|
||
num = num / base;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// Print in correct order
|
||
while(i > 0){
|
||
lcd_data(buffer[--i]);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 6.4 GPIO Configuration
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||

|
||
LPC_PINCON->PINSEL1 = 0;
|
||
LPC_PINCON->PINSEL3 = 0;
|

|
||
|
||
// GPIO direction setup
|
||
LPC_GPIO0->FIODIR |= COL_MASK; // Columns: output
|
||
LPC_GPIO0->FIODIR &= ~ROW_MASK; // Rows: input
|
||
LPC_GPIO0->FIODIR |= (0xFF << SEG_SHIFT); // Segments: output
|
||
LPC_GPIO0->FIODIR |= LCD_DATA_MASK | LCD_RS | LCD_EN;
|
||
LPC_GPIO1->FIODIR |= DIGIT_EN;
|

## 7. Operating Procedures
|
||
|
||
### 7.1 Basic Operation
|
||
|
||
**Power-On Sequence:**
|
||
1. System initializes, LCD displays: "Mode: DEC" / "Inp: 0"
|
||
2. Select base using P2.12 button (DEC → BIN → OCT → HEX → DEC)
|
||
3. Begin entering numbers
|
||
|
||
**Numeric Input:**
|
||
- Press digit keys (0-9, A-F as valid for current base)
|
||
- LCD shows accumulated number: "Inp: XXX"
|
||
- 7-segment displays last hexadecimal digit
|
||
|
||
**Arithmetic Operations:**
|
||
1. Enter first number
|
||
2. Hold Key 0, press operator key (B/D/E)
|
||
3. LCD shows: "Op: +/-/*"
|
||
4. Enter second number
|
||
5. Hold Key 0, press F (equals)
|
||
6. LCD shows: "Res: XXX"
|
||
|
||
**Clear Function:**
|
||
- Hold Key 0, press C
|
||
- All values reset to zero
|
||
- Current mode preserved
|
||
|
||
### 7.2 Usage Examples
|
||
|
||
**Example 1: Decimal Addition (25 + 17)**
|
||
```
|
||
1. Mode: DEC
|
||
2. Press 2, 5 → "Inp: 25"
|
||
3. Hold 0 + B → "Op: +"
|
||
4. Press 1, 7 → "Inp: 17"
|
||
5. Hold 0 + F → "Res: 42"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Example 2: Hexadecimal Calculation (AB + 1F)**
|
||
```
|
||
1. Press P2.12 until "Mode: HEX"
|
||
2. Press A, B → "Inp: AB"
|
||
3. Hold 0 + B → "Op: +"
|
||
4. Press 1, F → "Inp: 1F"
|
||
5. Hold 0 + F → "Res: CA"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Example 3: Binary Multiplication (101 × 11)**
|
||
```
|
||
1. Select "Mode: BIN"
|
||
2. Press 1, 0, 1 → "Inp: 101"
|
||
3. Hold 0 + E → "Op: *"
|
||
4. Press 1, 1 → "Inp: 11"
|
||
5. Hold 0 + F → "Res: 1111"
|
||
```
