| problem with send and transmit data by using serial port |

HI, I'm a new user for CCS compiler. Can anyone can check the following code? Why the PIN_B6 can't be turned on although I have sent the char "1" from my computer to PIC?? Anyone can guide me about it?? Thanks
| Code: |
#include <16F877A.h>
#include <string.h>
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#define REDLED PIN_B4
#define GREENLED PIN_B6
#define YELLOWLED PIN_B3
#use rs232 (baud = 9200,xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
char ch;
void main()
{
ch= getc();
if (ch == "1")
{
set_tris_b(0b00);
output_High(GREENLED);
}
}

Try this.
| Code: |
#include <16F877A.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232 (baud = 9200,xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)
#include <string.h>
#define REDLED PIN_B4
#define GREENLED PIN_B6
#define YELLOWLED PIN_B3
char ch;
void main()
{
set_tris_b(0x00);
while(1)
{
ch= getc();
if (ch == "1")
{
output_toggle(GREENLED);
}
}
}

Your first problem is that in C to represent a single char you use single quotes '
So you should do:-
if (ch == '1') |

Start with the code:
Have you corrected the test, as Wayne pointed out. This is vital.
Then, are you sure about your baud rate?. 9200bps, is 'non standard'. 9600bps, is the nearest standard setting.
Then are you sure about your hardware. RS232 transceiver chip?. Correctly wired?. Have you tested that the processor is actually running, and running at the right speed (toggle an LED at one second intervals - is it actually working at the right interval?). Can you send a 'hello world' message to the PC over the serial?.

| Thanks for you all. I have corrected the code and changed the baud rate to 9600. About the hardware, I use UC00A which is USB-UART converter from Cytron. I have tried the code again but still have the same problem. Ttelmah, can you give me a sample code?? Thank you very much. |

Do you have an RS232 interface transceiver on the PIC though?
In order to hook a PIC to an RS232 port, say on a PC, you must meet the voltage requirements needed by RS232 standards.
This is typically accomplished with an interface IC like the MAX232 or in the needs of only TX/RX, a MAX221.
If you are connecting your PIC directly to an RS232 port (via USB or backpanel connector), you are most likely injecting >+5VDC and <0VDC to the pins on your RX line, while your TX line is seen as a marginal/erroneous transmitter to the PC.
