Hello
I have a rs232 problem on pic18f45k40
when print some text I get this result
U V W $ Y YZ Y C irmware v1.00
Compiled on
07-May-25
11:20:24
normally I have to get
Firmware v1.00
what could be the problem
compilee ccs 5.115
cheers

Almost certainly hardware.
Suggests the line is floating, and not pulled up before transmission starts.
Or something else is clocking the line.
How is the physical connection made?.
Does the data repeat the same, or is it different each time?.
How is the power supplied?.
Is this at the start (power on)?.
Is this using a hardware UART, or software serial?. |

I think no need of pull up for tx pin I did too many project without it never encountered this issue
I am using FTDi232 to connect my board to PC..
settings of UART
#use delay(clock=64000000,RESTART_WDT)
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8,RESTART_WDT)
void version(void)
{
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//-- firmware version
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
printf("Telemmote Receiver\r\n");
printf("Firmware v1.00\r\n");
printf("Compiled on \r\n");
printf(__DATE__);
printf("\r\n");
printf(__TIME__);
printf("\r\n");
delay_ms(250);
printf("Telemmote Receiver\r\n");
printf("Firmware v1.00\r\n");
printf("Compiled on \r\n");
printf(__DATE__);
printf("\r\n");
printf(__TIME__);
printf("\r\n");
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
}
the first block of pritnt include garbage
but the second print is OK
-the power supply is 10 watt irm-10-12 smps and the feet to and LDO wihich power the PIC with 3.3 volts
-the printed are done after the PIC is configured.
-Hardware UART is used
cheers

| get RID of the 'restart WDT' codes and see what happens !!! |

and on pull-ups, these are needed if the line floats. This is why things like
RS485 buffer chips are available in versions that guarantee to flow to the
idle state, and if these are not used the bus dialling should ensure the drive
does this instead.
My thought is that the transmitting PIC line is floating till the UART starts.
Depending on the baud rate and how reset is handled, the result is garbage
preceding the first byte and giving a false start so this too is corrupted. |

still the same
when added ERROR nothing changed
I also added a pullup resistor on TX pin no effect
seems the problem is at startup.
After startup anywhere I put a printf there is no problem.
and I get everytime the same garbage everytime I compile

I finnaly go for a quasi solution
like that
putc(0);
printf("\r\nTelemmote Receiver\r\n");
printf("Firmware v1.00\r\n");
printf("Compiled on \r\n");
printf(__DATE__);
printf("\r\n");
printf(__TIME__);
printf("\r\n");
But a problem to be solved.

possible help...
1) add PUT to the fuses(Power Up Timer )
2) add a 250ms delay BEFORE the first print code. |

Tested but not solve for what you mentioned.

May I ask how this connection is actually done???
You say you are using an FTDI adapter. Is this a USB to 5v or USB to
RS232 unit?. If the latter how is your RS232 to 5v adaption done at the PIC?.
This sounds as if you have something like a level shifter that needs to see
the line driven high then low then high again to start working.
Put(0), will send 9bits of 0v, then go high again before the start bit for
your message. This is exactly what is needed to charge up certain types
of inverter based connection. |

90% of the time it is the grounding that is the culprit.
