| PIC18F4550 and RS485 link |

Hello,
I need some advice about RS232 connection.
I use :
- PCWH compiler 5.050
- PIC 18F4550
- baud=115200
My PIC (Slave) communicates with a microprocessor board and It's working well.
The microprocessor board can read Voltage values from the PIC but it's slow when I use lots of slave PIC. Character frames are around 34 characters.
The PIC send directly the values with :
| Code: |
for (i=0;i<=6;i++)
printf("%04.1f ",M_V[i]);
putc('\r');
|
I would like to optimise the speed of my RS232 connection and send only an 2 hexadecimal value instead of 5 Characters. So the Character frames will be reduce by 4 so around 14 characters. 
I use this code :
| Code: |
for (i=0;i<=6;i++)
{
VLCAN=M_V_int[i] & 0b11111111;
VHCAN=(M_V_int[i] & 0b111100000000)/16;
printf("%c%",VHCAN, VLCAN);
}
putc('\r');
|
with VHCAN and VLCAN are bytes
It's working well except if the value are less than 20 !!
In this case, I have strange behaviors.
Is there something I can do to solve this?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I think you have a misconception regarding RS232, since this type of cable communication only admits 2 devices
connected to each other, a DTE and a DCE. For the purposes of the RS-232 standard, a connection is defined by a
cable from one device to another, that is, between 2 devices.

To achieve this you must implement a connection with RS485 protocol that supports various devices connected to
the network, which makes it possible for multiple nodes.

Hello Humberto,
You are right, I missed Something in my first message :
Of course I'm working with a RS485 connection and protocol. Else it could not work. |

| It appears you are trying to mix ASCII characters and binary values together in one message. This will take some very special parsing to get to work as you found out binary values below 20 are ASCII control characters. |
