Change of uart
PostPosted: Wed Sep 25, 2013 7:27 am     Reply with quote

My project uses UART1 with a command line interface. Now I want to use multiple pcb on a RS485 bus on UART2. The idea is to select 1 print on the RS485 bus and talk only to that one.

Is it possible to switch UART stream? The manual call if printf is used, the last #use RS232.. is active. Is this possible in the code? I have a lot of printf in my program so it would take a lot of code to fprintf for the 2 separate.

Encapsulate....

replace 'printf', with:

printf(my_putc, what you want to print);

You can do a simple 'search and replace' for the "printf(", and replace this with "printf(my_putc", throughout the code.

Then just create a function 'my_putc', like:

Code:

int1 use_first_stream=TRUE;

void my_putc(int8 chr)
{
   if (use_first_stream)
       fputc(STREAM1,chr);
   else
       fputc(STREAM2,chr);
}


This way there is just one pair of fputc calls, with a single flag 'deciding' what stream is to be used, and you can just change 'use_first_stream' to TRUE/FALSE, to select the stream to be used.

The printf functions, instead of all calling putc, will just call the new 'decider' (my_putc) function.

Quick/easy to do, and adds the least possible code.

Yes, but like that I have to double all +/-50 printf's with a lot of float printing. The code will increase a lot.

It would be handy if STREAM1 was a variable!

Sorry, did'nt read you measage. Thanks will try!

No you don't. You are missing the point...
Code:

//Two #use RS232's here, setting up the streams STREAM1, and STREAM2
int1 use_first_stream=TRUE;

void my_putc(int8 chr)
{
   if (use_first_stream)
       fputc(STREAM1,chr);
   else
       fputc(STREAM2,chr);
}

void main(void)
{
   float value=12345.2;
   int16 valuei=234;
   do
   {
       printf(my_putc, "Something complex %f, %ld\n\r",value,valuei);
       use_first_stream~=1;
       value+=1;
       valuei+=1;
   }
   while (TRUE);
}


This will alternately print to STREAM1, then STREAM2, from the single printf as the 'use_first_stream' value changes.
Exactly what you want.

Best Wishes
