RDA2 interruption

[SQR-1]

Good morning ... can you help me with a problem?
I have a PIC18F67K40, I can send from the PIC but can not receive since the interruption does not work. I wrote a very short program to try but it does not work.
What could be happening?

This is the program:

[dluu13]

You should always have "errors" in your #use rs232 macro declaration or else it will lock up once the receive buffer fills up.

Besides that, I am not sure that you have set your TX up properly. From the datasheet, it looks like TX2 is remappable. Therefore, you should have a #pin_select before your #use rs232 macro to tell it.

Something like:

[Ttelmah]

Yes. dluu13 is right. Currently you are setting up a software UART on
pins G1 & G2, so no hardware interrupt.
PPS devices _must_ be setup with #pin select, before you use them.

[dluu13]

Another thing, you have enabled some interrupts that you did not make ISR for. This can cause you to get resets (at least I have gotten some ugly resets that way)

[SQR-1]

Thanks for the reply ... but it does not work ... if insert #pin_select TX2 = PIN_G1 does not receive or send.
With this reduced code it sends correctly but does not activate the interruption.

[dluu13]

I can't really see why it's not working to send if you have pin_select, but you still have not put "errors" in your #use rs232 declaration.

For reference, here's a snippet of me setting up RS232 in one of my projects:

Thank you, thank you, thank you ... following your instructions, it works perfectly for me ... it's nice to see data in port !!!
Today I can sleep happily ... ;-)
Thank you

[dluu13]

Good to hear. Have a nice sleep :D

[Ttelmah]

Yes, you always have to setup both pins, and preferably use the 'UARTx'
syntax to force the hardware UART to be used. You can use just one
pin, but you do this by enabling both, and then turning part of the UART
off afterwards.
Glad you have it working.

Good morning companions, again I have problems with the serial communications, specifically with the interruptions ... I can send data well but does not activate the interruption of input data. I put a led inside the interruption to turn on and off a led every time data arrive but I do not observe positive results ... what am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

You have added receive_buffer in your rs232 setup options. It may be that the automatically generated ISR that CCS makes when you specify that option will override whatever ISR you write yourself. The receive_buffer automatically generates an ISR that places the received character into a circular buffer, which you use functions like getc() to access. kbhit() will return 1 when there is something in the buffer.

You should spend some time reading the manual in the rs232 section, along with kbhit and other functions related to receive buffer.

Alternatively, you can remove the receive_buffer in your setup options to use your own isr.

Hi,

You need to actually 'get' a character inside to the serial interrupt handler in order to clear the interrupt.

[temtronic]

this...

[SQR-1]

I do not understand what happens ... if I send, lose characters nothing happens but if you keep pressing a key (from hyperterminal) after a couple of seconds the interruption breaks ... but it seems a random case ...

Hi,

Post a complete test program that shows the issue. Make it so that we can cut, paste and compile.

Post your code using the <code> tags.

Tell us how you are testing your program. What hardware are you using?
