| GPS-GSM on pic16f8773a using sw uart on RB0 |

Hi,
i know there have been a lot of posts on this topic.. but after going through them a lot i couldn't find a solution.
i'm using CCS PCM C Compiler, Version 4.084, 36728 on a pic16f877a
i tested the circuit on a bread board using S1315RL gps module
datasheet
http://www.macrogroup.ru/content/data/store/images/f_1072_5364_1.pdf
i couldnt find the data sheet of the sim300 module im using.
my problem is that both the gps and gsm modules are not working together, im using a software uart on RB0 for sw uart.. individually they work perfectly.. pls help me.
this code is based on Gabriel's gsm code.. :D
my objective in this code was to send the gps cordinates through gsm

The easiest, best solution would be to use a current PIC with 2 Hardware UARTs, like the 18F46K22. The 877 is old and obsolete. There are pin compatible PICs that are cheaper, faster, better for your purpose.
If you are really, really stuck using the 877 you'll have to decide which device, the GPS or the GSM needs to have the hardware UART. Your program shows you've chosen the GSM to have the UART, and I agree with that as it's more critical to have proper, reliable communications with the modem than the GPS.
I don't know the available GPS commands, but I'd hope there was a 'get GPS data' command. Where the PIC sends the command, then waits for the data to come back (probably as a 'stream' with a CR to terminate). This is fairly easy to cut code for BUT using a software UART is not the best solution.
Others who have used the GPS/GSM modules can advise better.

I agree that you should try to use a pic with 2 uarts.
If you must use the 877A, i would suggest you test out your GPS code extensively using the software uart prior to integrating the code.
Once you have proven code that reads the GPS using SW uart and can report the data to a terminal with the HW uart, then you can mix the GSM code with the GPS.
I would wait for the trigger SMS and once you receive it, then poll the GPS...why?
Because if your polling the GPS constantly with SW uart, when the trigger SMS is received, the hardware uart interrupts will mess up your software uart.... the GSM module once you finish reading the trigger SMS can wait as long as you need to collect the GPS data.
In other words... do one thing at the time...
Wait for incoming SMS only
Poll the GPS only.
Reply SMS only.
Can you poll your GPS on command or is it just spitting out data constantly?

As a comment:
1) get rid of 'disable_ints' in both the RS232 declarations. This is for where you are doing software RS232, in the 'non interrupt' code, and want to ensure that no interrupt event can affect this. Since you are doing the software serial inside an interrupt this can't happen, and this might cause problems.
2) You talk about sample early, but have not got this enabled. Enable it.
3) Set the edge, and clear the interrupt, _before_ enabling it.
4) You really need int_ext to remain enabled. Problem is that by turning it off, and then re-enabling it, you may be enabling it 'mid character'. Then data received after this can be garbage.... |

i did it this way because the reply msg wont be just the coordinates m planing to save the known bustop names in an array and define a range of cordinates for each of them.this way all the cordinates can be arranged in order of the bustops n i jus need to check the next location.... for this to work the cordinates need to be constantly updated.. this might mess up d buffer but if i clear the buffer after sending a msg then its ok right? |

yes the gps is constantly sending out data.. i jus need the GPRMC format |

GSM module works perfectly but when i connect the GPS Tx and Rx pins, GSM starts sending out garbage. I'm monitoring the data using a serial cable, but once i remove the GPS wires it works fine. This is really annoying. :(
ex
GSM sends AT+CMGR=1
But along with GPS it sends A+MGR1 things like this. Characters get mixed.
But the really crazy this was this thing worked completely perfect (both GPS and GSM ) for sometime, but when i tried it again the whole thing went haywire. |

The 'garbage' is probably due to the fact you're using a software UART and not properly synchonizing with the GPS data stream. One way to avoid( or minimize) it , is to send the GPS the 'send me data' command and NOT having it always send data to you.
Consider the PIC as the master, the GPS the slave where the slave(GPS) ONLY sends data when the master(PIC) commands it to.

Is there any problem to use software uart on pin RB0??
I have used it like this
| Code: | | #use rs232(baud=9600,xmit=PIN_B1, rcv=PIN_B0,stream=GPS) |

Both 'no problem', and 'almost infinite problems'....
Key thing to understand, is that with the CCS 'software UART', the code has to sit doing precise timings and sampling the input pin. Now using the RB0 interrupt, the interrupt triggers to say 'we have a falling edge' (the start bit), and _assuming nothing else at all is happening_, about thirty instruction cycles later you arrive in the interrupt handler. Then the code sits in the 'getc' routine, for the whole of the character time, reading the bits at first 52uSec after arriving at the 'getc', and then every 104uSec for each bit.
Now first problem. If you have another interrupt enabled, and this is called just _before_ the RB0 interrupt triggers, then the arrival in the RB0 interrupt handler, will be delayed by how long the other interrupt takes to handle. Perhaps 90 instructions. So now, the arrival is about 90+30 instructions - 24uSec _late_. Now this is where 'sample early' comes in. This tells the software UART code, to _not_ do the extra delay at the start of the byte. It is needed when using this type of configuration, yet is not enabled in your code....
Then though there are other things that may delay more. 4.084, is one of the compilers, that may be disabling interrupts on printf. I'd have to check (this was one of the problems which appeared, disappeared, re-appeared, with various CCS versions). It is possible to bodge round this, but starts to become rather major. Use buffered TX with interrupt driven hardware serial (ex_stisr.c) and do the GSM printing to this, then make sure that the global interrupt is fully re-enabled in your code.
Change the order that the interrupts are declared, so that INT_RB, is declared first (this gives it priority if two interrupts trigger at the same time).
Then you have the already mentioned problem of sync. The software routine gets called as soon as a falling edge is seen. Now if it is continuously enabled, this should be the first 'start' bit of a byte. However because you disable it, if a byte has already _started_ when the interrupt is re-enabled, you miss the first bit, and instead trigger 'mid byte', on a bit inside the byte. Result 'garbage'. Since it takes longer to loop with all the GSM stuff enabled, this becomes more likely to happen once you enable GSM.
Now, it is undoubtedly 'possible' to do what you are trying to do, _but_ it requires really careful thought at every stage. A full understanding of the times involved in everything, looking at when interrupts are disabled internally, and ensuring that things like the out of sync problem can't occur. However it is a _lot_ of work.... |
