How to get the ASCII by RS-232
PostPosted: Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:02 am     Reply with quote

G'day everybody


HMR3300Compass---------.18F458

TX---------(ASCII)------------->RX

RX--------------------------------TX


now I have a simple project that use 18F458 to receive ASCII format data from Honeywell digital compass HMR3300

and want to save it's data to RAM

The compass will send data 8 times per second

format is ASCII

like this

Honeywell HMR3300 (0.6)
#A
251.2,6.2,0.9
251.5,7.5,0.1
251.8,8.9,-0.6
251.8,9.0,-0.6
251.9,9.2,-0.5
251.9,9.2,-0.6
251.9,9.3,-0.7
251.8,9.1,-0.6
251.8,9.1,-0.5
251.9,9.2,-0.6
251.8,9.2,-0.7
251.9,9.3,-0.7
251.8,9.1,-0.7

but I don't know how to do it..

below is my code....
Please help me

Regards
---------------------------------------------------------------
#include <18f458.h>
#fuses HS,NOLVP,NOWDT,PUT
#device ICD=TRUE
#device ADC=10
#include <math.h>
#use delay(clock=16000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main()
{
char* data[];
while(1)
{
*data=getch()
}
}
Code:
[list][/list]

You are off to a good start....

First off in your design do you have a serial port for connecting PIC to PC?

Code:
main()
{
    char data[20];
    int i;
   
    i=0;
    while(i<20)
    {
        data[i]=getch();
        i++;
     }
     //now first 20 ascii chars are in data[].
     // next look at the string functions like strtok
     // then you can start parsing the data
     // if you have serial port to PC I would recommend echoing data to PC

}


Now I would also recommend you look at writting your code on the PC first. That is store your sample data in a file then use the fgetc() function to get the data and write your processing program on the PC. It would be much easier to debug.

I use getch() to receive one character from keyboard...but no responce..

also use simple program to check ...likes...

main()
{
while(kbhit())
{
output_d(255);
}
}

can't entry while loop..

why.. Sad

You have not provided enough information to explain your problem.

Two problems. If there is no character present the very first time the expression kbhit() is evaluated the while condition is false and therefore the code within the while loop will never be executed. However if there is a character present before the expression is evaluated the code within the while loop will be executed continuously as no attempt is made within the while loop to read the character.

The code as written, won't work. It will start by detecting that there is not a character, and therefore drop 'off the end' of the code, and hit the hidden 'sleep' instruction, that CCS places there. Try:
Code:

main()
{
   while(true) {
      while (kbhit()) {
          //You must get the character, or kbhit will remain asserted
          getc();
          output_d(255);
          delay_us(100);
      }
      output_d(0);
}


This will assert the whole of portd high for 100uSec, when a character is seen.

Best Wishes
