USB_put_packet() function problem?or serial receive problem?
PostPosted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 9:28 pm     Reply with quote

I am currently doing a project which need receive a data from a serial port, RS232, and send it to computer through USB, the rs232 is communication between 2 PIC, which on the other side it is a temperature sensor board which will transmit the temperature through rs232.
Code:

#include <18F4550.h>
#fuses HSPLL,USBDIV,PLL5,CPUDIV1,VREGEN,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NODEBUG,BROWNOUT, PUT
#use delay(clock=48000000)
//#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

   }

   }
}
}

Above is my code, can someone please help me debug?
Is there something wrong?

You don't report a particular problem with your code.

I see several oddities, however:
- usb_task() is not executed periodically to keep the connection
- get_string() has to wait (possibly forever) for a <CR> on the serial input
- you send 2 bytes with put_packet(), without taking care for what has been actually received

Thanks for replying.

1.) What should I do in order to keep the usb connection? I am having a problem, when I click "sendtext" button in my GUI, it will terminate the usb connection. I thought it is my GUI timer problem.

2.) What is <CR>? I think it is wait forever because it can't get any input.
What should I do in order to prevent it wait forever?

3.) put_packet() can only send 2 bytes, right? And put_packet() can only send int data, right? What if I want to send a string? I need to convert it to ascii?

A number of comments:
First, you _must_ buffer your RS232. As it stands, the get_string function, is only called, once you have met your particular conditions on the USB. If data has arrived in the meantime (more than two characters), it _will_ be lost. Look at ex_sisr, which shows how to have an interrupt driven receive routine. Then have your main loop running all the time, with a state machine. When the USB conditions are met, switch state to receiving RS232, and pull anything already received from the buffer, and keep pulling data, till you see the end of RS232 packet marker (CR with get_string - is this what you are sending?.).
Second, you have the maximum count for the USB transfers set to 64bytes, but the buffer you are using is only 33. What will happen if the packet is bigger than 33 bytes...
Third, you are switching cases based on the value from the USB. Are you really sending ASCII 0, 1 and 2, or are you sending the _text_ '0', '1' and '2'....

If you are just wanting to send data over USB, like over RS232, then use the usb_cdc_getc, and usb_cdc_putc functions. Much simpler, and less likely to cause problems, than getting involved in handling the packets yourself. You can then send a string using:

printf(usb_cdc_putc,"%s\n",string_to_send);

thanks for reply.

1.) what function or how can i buffer rs232? any reference for me on how to receive a data from rs232 and send it to rs232?

2.)i think my data won't larger than 33 bytes, at most are 16-20 bytes.

3.)yup, i am sendind ascii 0,1 ,2...

actually what i am doing is to receive data drom rs232 and then send it through usb to my computer GUI, and receive data(most of the time text) from my computer GUI and sending it to another board for LCD display through rs232.

Apparently, you copied part of your code from existing USB examples, but you didn't copy it correctly. They always
call usb_task() in the main loop, you call it only once.
Quote:
What is <CR>?

It's "carriage return" respectively the "Enter" key code. As you are using get_string(), what do you expect as
a string delimiter?

Yes, at least with get_string(). But pausing continous service of usb_task() can give unwanted results anyway.
At moderate serial speeds, the main loop is executed often enough to receive serial data without interrupt
processing. But the data must be buffered though.

And, to answer the bit about an example of buffering the serial, ex_sisr, as I have already said....

thanks for FvM and Ttelmah for again for answer my question.

you mean for each case i need to call usb_task() again?

Quote:

my project is to continuos receive a temperature from another board temperatue sensor, hence i think i no need delimiter in order to keep the data transmission continuos.

how to pausing the usb_task()?

thanks i already read the ex_sisr, is that better for me to use interrupt for the rs232 receiving? or just use if(kbhit(1)){get_string(k,BUF_SIZE);}?

Consult the USB code examples. They are working.

I meant, you should not stop calling usb_task() for a longer time, e.g. by waiting for serial input.
