Making a 18f4620 work like a hyperterminal on echo mode.

Hi,

I am working with an 18f4620, and I am trying to use its serial port to send data to another embedded system. But I would also like to see the data come back. Similar to the hyperterminal working in echo mode.

I will be seeing the data on the LCD which is connected to another pic which is connected the the 18f4620 using USART.

Thanks

See the simple echo program shown in this post:

Thanks PCM !

But if I want to create a response from the micro (18F4620) based on a sentence given by the user, how would I get to do it.

Like if I would like to give a response for

"Would you like to clear the eeprom (y or n) : " and I want the micro to give the response of "y", how do i get to do that. The present program that I am running only takes in characters.

the present code looks something like this..



Code:


void ui_handle(void)
{
   char c;
   c=fgetc(USER);
   c=toupper(c);
   switch(c) {

case 'T':   hardware_test();
                  break;

      case 'D':   ui_settings();
              //delay_ms(3000);
                  break;

      case 'S':   ui_setup();
                  break;

      case 'Z':   clear_ee();
                  fprintf(USER,"\r\nEEPROM Cleared\r\n");
                  break;
}}


void main(void) {

   init();
   splash();
while (TRUE) {
   
   
   if (kbhit(USER))
      {
         ui_handle();
      }
     }
}



USER is the steam for the serial communication and in this case I am using the hardware pins.

I know fgets would be the best solution for this problem, but when I put it with a stream its showing compiling errors.


Code:

void ui_handle(void)
{
   char c[30];
   char h;
   
   printf("Type 'a' to relock baud-rate: ");
   printf("Erase FLASH? (y/n): ");
   
   c=fgets(USER);

   if (strcmp(c,Type 'a' to relock baud-rate:))
      {
         fprintf(USER,"a");
      }
   if (strcmp(c,Erase FLASH? (y/n):))
      {
         frpintf(USER,"y");
      }
   
                 
   }
