rs232 stream parity bit problem in 18f8720
PostPosted: Mon Feb 07, 2005 8:29 am     Reply with quote

I wrote a simple code snipped for 18f8720 like below. Although I mentioned "Odd Parity" in built in definition , output data has not odd parity. How do I send data with odd parity ?

#use rs232 (baud=9600, PARITY=N, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7,ERRORS,stream = PORT1)
#use rs232 (baud=9600, PARITY=O, xmit=PIN_G1, rcv=PIN_G2,ERRORS,stream = PORT2)

void main()
{
while(1)
{
fputc(0x25,PORT2);
}
}

I looked at the ASM code generated by the compiler for your example.
It sends out 9 bits of data. The first 8 bits are the data byte, and the
9th bit is the parity bit.

Remember that for Odd parity, if the parity of your data byte is odd,
then the parity bit will be set = 0. If the parity of your data byte
is even, then the parity bit is set = 1. In other words, the value
of the parity bit is set so that the overall parity of the 9-bit stream is odd.

Your data is 0x25, which has three 'one' bits, which is odd parity.
So the the 9th bit will be set = 0, in order to make the parity of the
entire 9-bit stream be odd.

I used PCH vs. 3.188 to compile the code for a 18F8720 for my tests.
----------
Does this explanation help, or were you possibly expecting the compiler
to generate 7 bits of data and use the 8th bit for parity ?

I tried this

When I wrote this code snipped, I tried it using a PC sw that observes the PC's COM port. The PIC programmed with this code sends the string I want and my PC sw is set 9600,odd parity,8 bit data 1 stop bit. In this condition, I realise that some data in string sometimes corrupts. For example When I send a stream like (0x50, 0x20 ,0xFA), stream sometimes appear like (0x3F 0x20 0xFA). But If I use none parity option in PC sw (a kind of terminal program etc.), all stream looks like allways as it should be and correct. How can I explain and take over this problem ??
