how to use serial without #use rs232
PostPosted: Sat Sep 01, 2012 4:10 am     Reply with quote

Hello,
I'm using a PIC18f25k20 and I want that RC6 (TX HW pin) to be at initialisation an input. I connected 100kohm to VDD and a 10kohms to ground. If 10 kohms is connected to ground that means that is on "0" logic and on the program will do something - if 10kohms is not connected to ground that means that is "1" logic and the program should do something else...
1. set the direction as input <trisc6 = 1>
2. see if 10kohms is connected or not to ground
3. set the direction as output.
Code:

   TRISC = 0XC0;  // sets the RC6 as input

   if (JMP4) //JMP4 is RC6
   {
      WF_TYPE = SWITCH_WF;
   }
   else 
   {
      WF_TYPE = THERMO_WF;
   }

I found that it doesn't matter if 10kohms is connected or not to ground - the voltage is VDD -as idle of the #use232. So, it never can be seen if the 10k ohms are or not connected to the ground.

How can I set the serial after this test?

Hope that someone understand my problem.
Thank you.

#USE RS232(UART1, BAUD=0, ERRORS)

Then when you want to use the RS232, use

setup_uart(9600);

or whatever the baud you want.

Setting baud=0, tells the compiler to generate the code, _but not initialise the UART, or TRIS_.

When you use 'setup_uart' with a baud rate, the UART is initialised.

setup_uart(0);

switches the UART back off.

Hello!
thank you for responses.
I used:
Code:

   setup_uart(0);

   TRISC = 0XC0;  // sets the RC6 as input
   if (JMP4)
   {
      WF_TYPE = SWITCH_WF;
   }
   else 
   {
      WF_TYPE = THERMO_WF;
   }
   TRISC = 0X80;
   
   setup_uart(57600);

But is reset at every 2-3 seconds....
I put also #use 232(0,...) and the same result - is reseting every 2-3 seconds.
Have you any idea.

Thank you very much.

Without seeing your whole program it sounds like you have the WatchDogTimer enabled but are not handling it correctly..

that's my guess

Ok, here is the code,

On .c file:

Code:
TRISC = 0XC0;  // sets the RC6 as input
 if (JMP4)
   {
      WF_TYPE = SWITCH_WF;
   }
   else 
   {
      WF_TYPE = THERMO_WF;
   }
   TRISC = 0X80;
   
   setup_uart(57600);
 
   //end procedure

   delay_ms(20);

while(1)
{
   if(WF_TYPE == THERMO_WF)
     printf("It was selectedd the thermo...");
  else
    printf("It was selectedd the switch...");
}


at header is:
Code:

#include <18F25K20.h>

#use rs232(UART1, baud=0)

In SFR.h file I defined the TRISC, TRISB...

Thank you

that is nice BUT
did you ALSO
#USE Fast_io(B)
#USE Fast_io(C)
???

Further comment:
The code posted, is not complete so it can be compiled. Unless you post enough to make the code compilable, we can never tell there is not a 'hidden beastie' causing the problem. You need to just simplify down to a minimum program showing the problem, and post it.
Second comment, there is no need to define TRIS. If you want to control the TRIS registers, then use the compiler set_tris_x functions. They are already there. However for 99% of code there is no need to ever touch TRIS with the CCS compiler, and more often than not, doing so, leads to problems, rather than making things work.....

Best Wishes
