some characters get lost with usb_put_packet
PostPosted: Sun Apr 26, 2015 6:24 am     Reply with quote

Hello.

I use the ex_usb_keyboard example as basis to use my Pic 18F4550 as HID device to write into a text editor on the connected PC. The Pic is connected to a Bluetooth module which gets characters one by one.
The Pic blinks for every character as expected but once in a while a character is not written to the text editor.

Here is my header file:
Code:

#ifndef __EX_USB_COMMON_H__
#define __EX_USB_COMMON_H__

//#define USB_ISR_POLLING

#include <18F4550.h>
#fuses HSPLL,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NODEBUG,USBDIV,PLL5,CPUDIV1,VREGEN
#use delay(clock=48000000)

//leds ordered from bottom to top
#DEFINE LED1 PIN_A5  //green
#define LED2 PIN_B4  //yellow
#define LED3 PIN_A4  //red
#define STATUS_LED PIN_D7  //red
#define LEDS_OFF()   LED_OFF(LED1); LED_OFF(LED2); LED_OFF(LED3); LED_OFF(STATUS_LED)

//see section below labeled USB_CABLE_IS_ATTACHED
#define PIN_USB_SENSE   PIN_B0

#use rs232(baud=19200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_B3,rcv=PIN_B2,bits=8)

#ifndef LEDS_OFF
#define LEDS_OFF()
#endif

#define USB_CABLE_IS_ATTACHED() input(PIN_USB_SENSE)

#ifndef LED_ON
#define LED_ON(x) output_high(x)
#endif

#ifndef LED_OFF
#define LED_OFF(x) output_low(x)
#endif


And here the important parts of the source file:

There is a potential problem with the way you sit and wait for kbhit.

If usb_task is not called at reasonable intervals things can/will go wrong.

To get really reliable USB, I never wait for more than a very few mSec anywhere in the code. Instead have an iinterrupt based timer for your timeout, and keep looping round the outer loop, rather than sitting in the wait.

In fact I don't see anywhere in the code, anything to increment timeout, so while waiting usb_task will never be called. Look at the warning in usb.h.

The header file is still the same as in my first post.
I also tried to use usb_init() to get rid of the usb_task() but I still lose characters. I reduced the speed of character sending to one character per 400ms.

Using usb_init, rather than init_cs, does not get rid of the need to occasionally call the task.
What it does is reduce how often this needs to happen. With cs, you really need to call it at an interval perhaps no longer then 10mSec. With the standard init, task still does some extra housekeeping, and still must occur at intervals, but the interval can be much longer.
What you have now is much better.

However there is a piece missing from your keyboard handler.
USB keyboard devices, are _required_ to receive status data from the PC. Note _required_. The PC will send this at intervals. Your task does not handle this, so the input buffer will overflow.

Look at the example keyboard handler. Note that if anything is received from the USB, it gets the packet. It just writes it into the variable 'leds' and then ignores this. You need something similar.

Other thing, move your chr=0, to the line after you convert the scancode.
Otherwise a character typed while the USB data is being written, will be lost.
