| getc problem |
 Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 1:34 pm |

I did a little test program.
| Code: | | #use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8) |
| Code: | void main()
{
int flag;
int ch;
flag = 1;
while(1) {
ch = getc();
if (flag) {
output_high(PIN_A1);
flag = 0;
} else {
output_low(PIN_A1);
flag = 1;
}
printf("You pressed ");
putc ( ch );
printf(" ");
}
} |
before I press any key, the LED is off as it should be. When I press a key, the LED is on, but the problem is that it stays on all the time, even when I press keys.
This means that the program is stuck at the line
Why is it??? |

Try adding
| Code: | | setup_adc_ports( NO_ANALOGS ); |
At the beginning of your code.
Or use a port that isn't an analog port for the LED. |

| This does not solve anything. even by changing the port, the program still seems to be stuck at the line ch = getc() |

Tested with V3.215 on PIC16F877A and it seems to be working just fine. Pin A1 goes up and down (per DMM, didn't hook up LED) and RS232 port is echoing typed character.
Note that I added 4 lines to what you had in your post:
#include <pic16f877a.h>, #case, #use delay and the #fuse statement.
Below is a copy of the LST file.
What version of the compiler are you using? What chip are you using?

I realized that the problem is my circuit. when I send data from the PIC, everything works fine. When the PC sends data, the PIC seems not to receive the data. (The pic gets 0x00 for any character)
I also realized that when I power down my circuit, as the voltage is decreasing, If I keep pressing keys, the PIC echoes the characters that I press for about half a second before completely powering down.
The problem might be with the capacitors that I am using.
Here is how my MAX232 is hooked up:
PIN 1 and 3 are connected through a 10uF cap
PIN 4 and 5 are connected through a 10uF cap
PIN 6 is connected to ground through a 20uF cap
PIN 2 is connected to 5V through a 20uF cap
other tx and rx pins are correctly connected.
What do you think? |

Double check the polarity of the capacitors.

| I am using ceramic disc capacitors, they don't have polarity. So, the problem is probably somewhere else... |

Before I press anything, the pin R2out (TTL) of the MAX232 chip that goes to the rx pin on the chip is high (5V).
When I press a key, the pin goes and stays to zero. Besides, the terminal shows me "You pressed ". there is no key code, The PIC just receives a 0x00 iinstead of the keycode.
Is this behavior normal, I dont think so.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance |

| Sounds like a MAX232 problem |

The MAX232 (R2out) output should return to the original high state after the character(s) come in.
What does the input pin on the MAX232 do? Does it return to low when the incoming char(s) are complete?
Since there is no enable on this chip the input and output states MUST ALWAYS be opposite (i.e if input R2in high then the output R2out must be low). If they are ever the same something is definitely wrong and I would suspect a wiring error since it seems to start out properly.
Check all the connections making sure all the caps, especially the ones to pins 2 and 6, are wired properly. |

the voltage on pin R2IN is about -10.5V
while the voltage on pin R2OUT is 0 |

To my knowledge, ceramic disk capacitors are not
available in the uF range. They are only available
in the pf or nF range. Are you certain that your
capacitors are 10uF, etc. ? |

MAX232 datasheet suggest to use 0.1uF to 1.0uF (page 17). I always use 0.1uF caps with MAX232 myself.
Oh, by the way, in your test circuit do you sink or source current from/to the LED?

That was my problem. I was dealing with picofarads instead of micro farads.
Thank you very much. I lack experience, but I am gaining it with people like you.
Thank you to all the people who helped |
