OK, we all know i dont know what i am doing  . Can sombode tell me a better way of doing this??
| Code: |
lightbank1_on_h = atoi(gets(rs232data));
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_m = atoi(rs232data);

i know there is a emu thing in c, but i have no idea how to use it here.
Thanks, Mark |

Hi All, just to add, what i am trying to go is seta bunch of vars using rs232. This all works, but my program is now to big and i am getting out out rom errors. Is there a way of maybe getting a list and reading it?
Thanks for all your help

Look at the list file (.lst) in the same directory as the HEX file.
As far as trying to do what you are in your code sample it appears as though you are just doing:
| Code: |
lightbank1_on_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
|
Five times?
Why not:
| Code: |
for(i = 0;i < 5;i++) {
lightbank1_on_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_h = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_on_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
lightbank1_off_m = atoi(rs232data);
gets(rs232data);
} |
Or, explain in more detail what you're trying to do. Is this your reception of data to set the 1307?

Another suggestion, why not put the gets() and Atoi() in a function and call it? Something along the lines of:
int getdata()
{
get your string input here, convert to int using atoi() then return with the int value
Update: As Humberto says below, make sure to validate the string then add a null (0x0) to the end of the number string after reception and BEFORE using atoi(). Otherwise the function may "run off into the wilderness" while doing the conversion and give you strange results.
}
lightbank1_off_h = getdata();
Later on after you get things basically working, rather than using gets(), it would be a good idea to use an #int_rda() interrupt routine to get the chars and store them in a buiffer. This way you have time to do other things in Main() and dont spend all your time sitting and waiting on gets().

atoi(string)
By definition the string parameter in the function atoi()
is a pointer to a null terminated string of characters.
1) If you don't have a characters array that ends with 0x00 (null) as the string terminator, the atoi() function will try to process incoming data (by incrementing a pointer) until it can finds a null byte somewhere.
Before using atoi() you must validate the received data because if the result can't be represented, the behavior of atoi() is undefined.
2) Try to ovoid using atoi() if you have not enough room in your memory. Remember that it use stdlib.h
3) Try to make the ASCII to int convertion in one place, not in every new line of your code.

Mark is fetching a new character on every other line, so he's trying to convert new data with atoi(). |

Do not forget he starts this thread with this phrase:

I want to emphasize on this. atoi() is a very versatile function, it accepts both decimal and hexadecimal, upper and lower characters, positive and negative values but this comes at a price: look at the list file and you'll see it takes over 400 bytes on a PIC18 with v3.241
If you know the format of the data you are receiving you can write a less versatile but more compact version by stripping all unneeded functionality from the CCS supplied function in stdlib.h. |

Thank you all for your replys. The blockof code i have pasted is wrong, The lightbank changes 5 times, so it gets on on_h, off_h, on_m and off_m for 5 light banks. Basicly i am making a timer for 5 lights, and the data i am getting here is the hour and min that the timers need to go on and off.
I have put in alot of time tring to think of ways that i can use for loops, and i might have a way of doing it. However, is this really the best way of doing this. All i really need is to get 20 ints form my vb app. Is there maybe a better way of sending that much data??
I am not really loking for code (unless you really want to write it), i just need ideas
Again, thanks so much for your help |

I had not read all your code but in the interrupt routine I see the most evident conceptual mistake.
You should know that #int_rda is an interrupt handler, this implies that it should be as short and fast as possible because the microcontroller had been interrumped its normal task to take care of this event. While the microcontroller is running inside the interrupt routine, all other task are pending and waiting.
All that is needed to do inside the interrupt routine is to store all the necesary incoming chars and set a flag when such condition was satisfied and quit (return) to main.
Then in main() normally you have enough time to parse the received packet. Something like this:
| Code: |
void main()
{
while(1)
{
..............
your stuff
..............
if(full_string_rcved)
{
switch (serialreq = serial_buffer[n])
{
case 48:
............
............
case 98:
}
full_string_rcved = FALSE;
}
}
}
|
If you search in this forum you will find a lot of examples regarding how to store and retrieve chars from a buffer.

| Don't do serial communication in the ISR |
| Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2006 10:50 pm |
|
|
Here's an example of bad code:
| Code: |
#int_something_or_other
void isr_something_or_other()
{
printf("hellp world!/n/r");
} |
Here's an example of better code:
| Code: |
int8 g_iFlag;
#int_something_or_other
void isr_something_or_other()
{
g_iFlag = TRUE; // set the flag
}
void main()
{
g_iFlag = FALSE; // initialize the flag
while (1)
{
if (g_iFlag == 1) // check the flag
{
printf("hello word!\n\r")
}
}
}
|
Moral: Never ever do serial communication in the ISR. Especially RS232. |

| Hi All. OK, so i know know i should nt do anything in the isr that will take too much time. Is this correct? the only thing is, i need to act on the request as soon as i recive it. eg, when i get a request from the vb app to turn on a output, i want to do it right then, and not when the pic checks the flag that was set in the isr. How does one do such a thing?? |

What is your idea of "right away"? There's nothing wrong with doing it the way that has been suggested. The PIC's interrupt routine will set the flag, exit the interrupt, and then the main routine resumes. It will detect the flag and set the lights FAST. Really, REALLY fast. Maybe 30 - 40 instruction cycles at the most, which would be 30 - 40 microseconds if your clock is 4 MHz. 3 or 4 microseconds if you're running the PIC at 40 MHz.
I've developed a few commercial products, and I always handle interrupts in this manner. No data gets lost (missing incoming characters from the UART, button presses, external interrupts, etc.), and the PIC responds instantaneously (to the naked eye, anyway.) Give it a try. |

OK, thanks for that, i will change the isr to only set flags, and then act on the flag.
This, however, does not fix the out of rom problem. Does anyone have any ideas on how i can send some kind fo configuration file to configure the on and off timers??
Thanks you very much for your help |
