Serial Communication problem
PostPosted: Fri Jul 14, 2017 8:53 pm     Reply with quote

Hi

I suppose I am making a very basic mistake and my serial communication don't work on any of my boards connected to the PC with a USB/TTL converter.
I wrote a short test program to try to find the problem for an available board that worked fine one month ago with the same communication with 10 bytes TX and RX:

Working with YAT terminal
I am sending hex 55,AA,00,00,00,FF (FF as checksum)
I tested the two cables I have, both are returning what I am sending from the PC if TX/RX are short circuit.
Want to mention that this serial com I am working with for many years.
The flash led works correct.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Best wishes

OK I was curious as you covered all of the basics....so I downloaded the datasheet.

That PIC has TX and RX available on several pins. I've never used it BUT I'm thinking you need to set some register to TELL the PIC who is RX and who is TX.
If you cut a really small 'SW loopback' program,compile, then dump the listing it should show the register being set/cleared to put TX and RX onto the pins you want.
If it doesn't, then I suspect a compiler bug but I don't have that PIC or compiler.

Maybe this helps ...

Hi Jay

Thank you for the answer
I am using the 16F1847 on small projects instead of the 18F26K22 because is 18 pin.
The serial communication worked in the past, now not working.
This is the LST of the rs232:

Hi Jay (and other members)

Finally I found a board that works.
The LST:
Quote:
.................... #use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_B2,rcv=PIN_B1,bits=8,stream=PORT1,errors)
*
0050: BTFSS PIR1.TXIF
0051: GOTO 050
0052: MOVLB 03
0053: MOVWF TXREG
0054: MOVLB 00
0055: RETURN
*
00B0: BTFSS PIR1.RCIF
00B1: GOTO 0B0
00B2: MOVLB 03
00B3: MOVF RCSTA,W
00B4: MOVLB 00
00B5: MOVWF rs232_errors
00B6: MOVLB 03
00B7: MOVF RCREG,W
00B8: MOVWF @78
00B9: MOVLB 00
00BA: BTFSS rs232_errors.1
00BB: GOTO 0BF
00BC: MOVLB 03
00BD: BCF RCSTA.CREN
00BE: BSF RCSTA.CREN
00BF: MOVLB 00
00C0: RETURN

Except that the new software uses other ROM locations, can't find nothing wrong.

hmm almost sounds like a PCB problem ?
You might consider staying with the 26K22, Yes a little bigger physically it does have MORE memory, peripherals,speed, etc. than the 1847 AND you've got experience with it. True it costs a little more BUT what is YOUR time worth? Even if you don't charge say $50/hr....you've probably spent 1-2 days( more??) chasing this nasty little problem. Time that you could have spent on another project or just relaxing.
My 'goto' chip is the 46K22 and now using the 26k22 for a 'smaller' project which seems to 'need' 2 more I/O pins !

Thanks for the answer Jay
I made already a few projects with the 16F1847 and they are working.
Will continue to find the problem

Hi PCM programmer

The compilers:
CCS PCH C Compiler, Version 5.059
CCS PCM C Compiler, Version 5.062

Hi
Everything works OK now.
I think the problem was that the computer don't like USB extension cables.

Thanks all and best wishes.
