16f877 and rs232... pic will not receive data |

hi there
i'm absolutly pic beginner and have a big problem with the pic to receive datas from the pc.
i used the pic16f877 with a max232 driver, the serial port of pc pins (dtr- dsr, rts-cts) are shorted.
to show the tx-signal, i used a led with resistor and i see datas go trough the max232 driver from the pc to the pic.
a simple testprogram like
Code: |
while(1)
{
sign=getc();
output_high(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(500);
output_low(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(500);
}
|
fail.
the pic does'nt receive data.
data send from pic to pc will work...
i've read in this board that a lot of users have problems ( *smile* i'm not alone with rs232 problems) with the rs232, but have not found the resolution for my problem.
to make sure that the pic and the rs232 driver are'nt the problem, i've changed them with another, but the pic does'nt receive datas again
here is the source code of my little program was updated when i've read a possible resolution (but does'nt work)
Code: |
#include <16F877.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOPUT,NOBROWNOUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=4800, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, BITS=8, PARITY=N, ERRORS)
#define BUFFER_SIZE 15
#bit C7TRIS=0x87.7 //set the RX bit correct
char rxdata[BUFFER_SIZE];
int index = 0;
int idata_valid = 0;
int istreamcomplete = 0;
int switchy = 1;
void blinky(int delayms) //delayms make a delay in milliseconds
{
if( switchy==0 )
{
output_high(PIN_B0);
switchy = 1;
}
else
{
output_low(PIN_B0);
switchy = 0;
}
delay_ms(delayms);
}
//ser. interrupt routine
#int_RDA
RDA_isr()
{
blinky(0); //call blinky without delay
if( index<BUFFER_SIZE ) // buffer overflow ?
{
char rcvd = 0;
rcvd = getc(); // get sign from RS232
if( rcvd==91 ) // if sign=="[", begin record
{
index = 0;
idata_valid = 1;
}
if( idata_valid==1 ) // if data valid
{
rxdata[index]=rcvd; //push sign into buffer
index++;
if( rcvd==93 ) // if sign=="]", stop record
{
idata_valid = 0;
}
if( index>BUFFER_SIZE )
{
idata_valid = 0;
}
if( !idata_valid )
{
istreamcomplete = 1;// buffer has stored data
index = 0;
}
}
}
}
void startup() // set all devices
{
setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
set_tris_a(0);
set_tris_b(0);
C7TRIS = 1;
}
void deletebuffer() // delete buffer
{
int n = 0;
istreamcomplete = 0;
for( n=0; n<15;n++ ) // why does'nt with BUFFER_SIZE ?
{
rxdata[n] = 0;
}
}
void main()
{
startup();
enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
while (1)
{
int n = 0;
blinky(75); // let led blink all 75ms
if( istreamcomplete==1 ) // if buffer has data stored
{
disable_interrupts(INT_RDA); // disable serial interrupt
blinky(1000); //give a optical signal for stored data
blinky(500);
if( rxdata[0]=91 ) // first sign must be a "["]
{
for( n=0; n<15;n++ ) // send stored buffer data back to pc
{
putc(rxdata[n]);
}
}
deletebuffer(); // delete buffer
enable_interrupts(INT_RDA); // enable serial interrupt
}
}
}

have any here suggestions or ideas why the pic does'nt receive datas ?
with best regards from snowy switzerland

Does your test program look like the one shown below ?
If it fails, the problem could be:
1. The PIC is not programmed properly. What is your programmer ?
(Example: Microchip ICD2, or PicStart-Plus, etc.)
2. Your terminal program which runs on your PIC, must be set for
4800 baud, with 8 bits and no parity. Is it set properly ?
3. It's possible that your RS-232 connections are not correct.
For DB-9 connectors, you need these 3 connections:
Code: |
PIC PC
DB9 DB9
pin pin
2 to 3
3 to 2
5 to 5 (this is the common ground connection) |
Here is your test program. The LED should turn on for 500 ms when
a character is received.
Code: | #include <16F877.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOPUT,NOBROWNOUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(baud=4800, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, BITS=8, PARITY=N, ERRORS)
void main()
{
char sign;
while(1)
{
sign=getc();
output_high(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(500);
output_low(PIN_B0);
delay_ms(500);
} |

i use the warp13 programmer from here

the connections are set correct.
i've found the mistake, why the pic does'nt receive datas
the resistor (240ohm) on the (pc) tx-signal (you remember... show the tx signal with a led) was a tad small... now i take a resistor with 480ohm and... it work. with your code turn the led on and off
i'm very happy that's work.
thanks a lot for your help
regards
