pic18F4550 RS 232 rare issue
PostPosted: Sun Mar 12, 2017 11:32 pm     Reply with quote

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this strange thing.

I have a pic18F4550 using a crystal 4Mhz configure for 32Mhz PLL, I am just trying to send data via rs232 TTL to other rs232 TTL.
What is weird is that I can send data with no issue however if I try to receive data nothing happened. I attaching the code.
Code:
#include <18F4550.h>
#device ADC=10

#FUSES PLL1
#FUSES XTPLL
#FUSES CPUDIV3
#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES NOIESO                   //Internal External Switch Over mode disabled
#FUSES PUT                      //Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOVREGEN                 //USB voltage regulator disabled
#FUSES NOPBADEN                 //PORTB pins are configured as digital I/O on RESET
#FUSES NOMCLR                   //Master Clear pin used for I/O
#FUSES NOLVP                    //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOXINST                  //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)

#use delay(clock=32MHz, crystal=4MHz)
#use rs232(baud=115200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8,stream=PORT1)

void main(){
   char dato[4];
   while(TRUE)
   {
      printf("hola mundo\r\n");
      if(kbhit(PORT1) == true){
         gets(dato);
         printf("%S\r\n", dato);
      }
      delay_ms(1000);
   }

}


What is even more unusual is that kbhit() works fine but I can not get the char.

I already check the crystal (4MHz), capacitor (33pF), connectivity between pins and the hardware.

any idea?

please help.

thanks.

this...
gets(dato);

says to get a string of data, so it'll stay in a loop until it receives a RETURN (13). It 'should' be looking at your 'stream' for this data but check with the CCS manual for options.

BTW using gets() without a timeout function is not recommended.
ALSO you need to add 'errors' to the uses rs232(...options...), manual explains why.

hi

thanks for reply.

I add your suggestions to my code
Code:
#include <18F4550.h>
#device ADC=10

#FUSES PLL1
#FUSES XTPLL
#FUSES CPUDIV3
#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
#FUSES NOIESO                   //Internal External Switch Over mode disabled
#FUSES PUT                      //Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOVREGEN                 //USB voltage regulator disabled
#FUSES NOPBADEN                 //PORTB pins are configured as digital I/O on RESET
#FUSES NOMCLR                   //Master Clear pin used for I/O
#FUSES NOLVP                    //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NOXINST                  //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)

#use delay(clock=32MHz, crystal=4MHz)
#use rs232(baud=115200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8,stream=PORT1,errors,timeout=100)

void main(){
   char dato[4];
   while(TRUE)
   {
      printf("hola mundo\r\n");
      if(kbhit(PORT1) == true){
         while(gets(dato) != ""){}
         printf("char = %s\r\n", dato);
      }
      delay_ms(1000);
   }

}


nothing changes... the RX is not working at all...

any other idea?

Have a look at the ex_sisr.c example that CCS supplies. It's in the examples folder.

Also what hardware are you using to connect PIC to the other RS232 device ?

I am going to check that example.

the other device is HC-05 bluetooth.

but also I testing with an arduino.

Just try a simple character echo program. Then you don't have to deal
with gets(), buffers, array overrun, or anything. Example:
Code:
void main()
{
int8 c;

printf("Start\n\r");

while(TRUE)
  {
   c = fgetc(PORT1);  // Wait for a char to come in

   fputc(c, PORT1);  // Then send it back
  }

}

hmmm. HC-05 bluetooth device . Is it a 5 volt device ? Most peripherals these days are 3 volt units. That PIC is a 5 volt device, so if (as I suspect) the HC-05 is 3v, you must use proper logic level conversion between the two units.
The datasheet of the 'HC-05' should/will say.

dude

Your code is working... IS WORKING!!!!

But I can only received one character per line... how do I add more buffer to rx?

Thanks a lot!!!!

Repeat that about the HC-05....

Be aware that the Arduino, has TTL logic inputs. Vih=2.4v
The PIC serial input has a Schmitt level input. Vih=4v.

Chips that will talk fine to an Arduino, need logic level translation to talk to a PIC.....
