Problem with char array[6] |

Hello, I am trying to make this example work but with no success.
I always receive wrong characters of variable volt_string on PC.
I have also noticed that if I use fuses HSPLL the real baud rate will be 115200 (=12x higher) instead of 9600.
I would like to use HSPLL because I am going to use the USB interface, but together with RS232. I am a newbie.
Thanks in advance.
Code: | #include <18f2455.h>
#include "main.h"
#device ADC=10
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600,xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, PARITY=N, BITS=8, STREAM=RS232)
char text[15]="testovaci char";
void convert_to_volts(long int data, char volts[6]) {
BYTE i;
long int temp,div;
div=0xCC;//03FF=5Volts
for(i=0;i<5;i++) {
temp=data/div;
volts[i]=(BYTE)temp+'0';
if(i==0) {
volts[1]='.';
i++;
}
temp=div*(BYTE)temp;
data=data-temp;
div=div/10;
}
volts[i]='\0';
putchar(volts[0]);
printf("end\r\n");
}
void display_data(long int data) {
char volt_string[6];
convert_to_volts(data,volt_string);
fprintf(RS232,"Text : %%Lu\r\n",volt_string);//the value volt_string is received wrong on PC
fprintf(RS232,"Variable : %4lX\r\n",data);
}
void main()
{
long int value;
int a;
setup_adc_ports(AN0_TO_AN1);
setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_INTERNAL);
set_adc_channel(0);
delay_ms(10);
set_tris_b(0);
fprintf(RS232,"RS232 test\r\n");
output_b(0);
while(1)
{
//a++;
//output_b(a);
value=Read_ADC();
display_data(value);
output_high(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(1000);
output_low(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(1000);
}
}

I think your pseudo attempt to convert a float to a string in convert_to_volts is a waste of effort. Just write a simple routine using floats to convert the integer value from the ADC into volts floating point value. Then use printf formatting to display it in the way you'de like.
Also, to maximize processor speed use a 10MHz crystal with the the H4 fuse. That yields 40MHz.

Change the line Code: | fprintf(RS232,"Text : %%Lu\r\n",volt_string); |
to Code: | fprintf(RS232,"Text : %s\r\n",volt_string); |
For simplicity I also changed Code: | display_data(value); | to Code: | display_data(1000); |
When running this modified code in the MPLAB simulator it gave the expected output.
What output do you get when you apply the same changes?
Which compiler version are you running? |

Thank both of you for reply,
all the problems have been solved.
BTW fprintf(RS232,"Text : %s\r\n",volt_string); is not working for me.
There might be a bug in compiler. I am using version 3.242 |

Separately, on the oscillator.
You need to change the 'clock' statement to reflect the frequency being fed to the CPU, not the crystal frequency. The default setup, with the PLL enabled, is 96MHz to the USB, and 48Mhz to the CPU. You can run the CPU at a lower frequency, by changing the CPUDIV fuses:
CPUDIV1 (the default), gives 48MHz
CPUDIV2 gives 24MHz
CPUDIV3 gives 16MHz
CPUDIV4 gives 12MHz.
As it currently stands, you have a crystal at 4MHz, being multiplied by 24 to give 96MHz, then divided by two for the USB, and also by 2 to feed the CPU. You currently have CPUDIV1, so the real master clock to the CPU, is twelve times your 'declared' 4MHz frequency.
Best Wishes |
