RS232 and gets() problem
PostPosted: Tue Jun 22, 2010 8:10 pm     Reply with quote

Dear Friend...
I need your help.
I have some problem with 16F877A and RS232 communication.
This is the code:
Code:

#include "C:\Programmi\PICC\Examples\fabio\siemens.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=8000000) // 8Mhz Crystal is Used
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7)

void main()
{
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);
   setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
   setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);

   // TODO: USER CODE!!
   
char string[30];

while(1)
   {
    printf("HELLO WORLD \n\r");

    delay_us(50);

    gets(string);
    printf("%s =String \n",string);
    printf("TEST");
   }
}

I simulate it with PIC SIMULATOR IDE and I saw that the pic have problem with gets() function because it not execute the line -> printf("TEST");

In my example there is a while(1)....if I cancel the gets() function and simulate...I can run the loop!!

Why the gets() block the while loop??
How is correction for read array from USART??

Many thanks

Read the gets() section in the CCS manual:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/downloads/ccs_c_manual.pdf
Quote:

gets( )

Reads characters (using GETC()) into the string until a RETURN
(value 13) is encountered. The string is terminated with a 0. Note that
INPUT.C has a more versatile GET_STRING function.

It waits until you press the Enter key.

Ok...thanks a lot dear PCM Programmer.

And now...I have to read incoming sms form SIEMENS phone and one other question!

If I would to not stop my While(1)....I use if (kbhit()) or a RS232 Interrupt??

Many thanks!!

The "standard" way to do something like this is to read bytes into a circular buffer with a RS232 interrupt. When a byte that signals the end of a message is read by the interrupt it sets a flag. The main program periodically checks the flag and if it finds it set, the main program reads the message from the buffer and clears the flag.

The search for better is endless. Instead simply find very good and get the job done.

Many thanks....I was out for work!!
I will make tests and if I will have other problems....I post it here!
Thanks a lot

Pcm programmer....I have now one strange problem!!!
I have made a simple code with IRDA interrupt + gets() and it works very fine in PIC <==> PC configuration!!
When I connect the Siemens sl55 or c35i or other phone, the CR character is not read and I cannot go out of interrupt function!! It's the same if I insert gets() in the main without using interrupt!!
Its more strange because if I connect the phone to the PC and I use Hyperterminal to comunicate... I see that the CR character is sent by the phone right way!! Again.... If I call the phone, in Hyperterminal I see:

RING

RING

RING

etc.

Why is my pic is not able to read the CR??
Many thanks again!!

Post your short test program for the PIC that is supposed to detect the
CR character from the phone. Show the #fuses, #use delay, and
#use rs232 statements. In other words, show the complete (short)
test program.

Also post your compiler version.

Thanks PCM Programmer,

my code is it:
Code:
#include "C:\Programmi\PICC\Examples\fabio\siemens.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=8000000) // 8Mhz Crystal is Used
#use rs232(baud=19200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7)
#include <input.c>
#include <glcd.c>

#int_rda
void isr()
{

char string[70];
char *msg;
   
  gets(string);
  msg=string;
  glcd_text57(5,10,msg,1,1); 

}

void main()
{

   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);
   setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
   setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);

   // TODO: USER CODE!!
   

enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL); 

   
glcd_init (ON);
delay_us(100);
glcd_fillScreen (0); 

//char string[70];
char pdu1[70];
char pdu2[70];
//char *msg;
//strcpy (pdu1, "04D2D8D309");
//strcpy (pdu2, "05D2D8D36804");



delay_ms(100);
printf("at\r\n");
delay_ms(1000);

while(1)
   {
delay_ms(1000);
glcd_fillScreen (0);

   //if (kbhit())
   //  {   
   //gets(string);
   //msg=string;
   //gets(string);
   //msg=string;
   //printf("atd 155\r");
   //glcd_text57(5,10,msg,1,1);
   //delay_ms(1000);
   //  }
 
 }
 
 
}


I repeat that the problem is only between PIC <---> SIEMENS because PIC <---> PC work very well!!

If I send commad to the siemens directly by PC....the command is execute very well and I can see on the GLCD any casual string written by keyboard!

If I send command to the SIEMENS directly by PIC....It execute the command but on the GLCD generally I cannot display the response!!

If I call the siemens by another cellphone.....it type on the serial line (saw by Hyperterminal) the string:

Code:

RING

RING

RING

RING

RING

ecc.


In the GLCD I see the first RING because the GLCD is not clean every second:
Code:

delay_ms(1000);
glcd_fillScreen (0);


Any idea?? what are my many errors?
Many Tanks

Dear PCM....I think that I found the problem!!
I saw that cellphone reply with this format:

Code:

Sent: at

Received: 0x0D 0x0A 0x4F 0x4B 0x0D 0x0A
 


and i the last character received is 0A (LINE FEED -LF )....afther the 0x0D (CR - CARRIAGE RETURN) that represent the end of the string!!
So....0x0A is interpreted as a new string!!

How can I solve this problem?? I try to use getch() in INTRDA without success...for the moment!!

PCM PROGRAMMER can you set me on the right way Smile

You should not address your posts to me only. Then other people
may not reply.

You should let everyone have the opportunity to give you a reply.

Code:
#int_rda
static char string[30];
int i;
static char *msg;
void isr()
{
What are you doing here???
Your code was fine, but now you suddenly put code between the '#int rda' and 'void isr { '. Why??
I don't know what the compiler will make of this, but it is not what it should be like.

Code:
string[i++]=getch();
i++;
i is not initialized. You are writing to random memory.
Second problem is that you are incrementing i two times.

Code:
#priority rda
You have only one interrupt, so why add a priority directive? You are making things more complicated when there is no need to. Keep It Simple !!

Code:
setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
Not a big problem, but the CCS Wizard generates invalid setup code here. The line should be changed to:
Code:
setup_spi(FALSE);

Have you tried this advice? It is the best way for receiving data in the PIC. See the example ex_sisr.c for how to do this.
You can combine it with code from input.c to receive strings.

General comment is that a computer will exactly do what you tell it to do, this is often not the same as what you want it to do.
Be more careful in your programming. You are making a lot of sloppy mistakes.

TNX ckielstra...I have changed my program and I read the CCS example for circular buffer.

Now my code has other problem:
The routine " strcmp (msg , ring) == 0 " is always true or she doesn't work good...because I read in output "Activated" at every "RING" and not only 5 "RING".
How is the problem??
Anyone can help me?
Code:

#include "C:\Programmi\PICC\Examples\fabio\siemens.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=8000000) // 8Mhz Crystal is Used
#use rs232(baud=19200,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,errors)
#include <input.c>
#include <glcd.c>

char string[30];
char temp[10];
char *ring[10];
int temps;
char *msg;
int i=0;
int a=0;
int c=0;
int nr=0;

#int_rda
void serial_isr() {

a=0;
temp[0]=getchar();
temps=(int) temp[0];

   if(temps==0x0D)
   {
   a=1;
   c++;
   }
   if(temps==0x0A)
   {
   a=1;
   c++;
   }
   if(a==0)
   {
   string[i]=temp[0];
   i++;
      if(i==69)i=0;
         a=0;
   } 

   if(c==4)
   {
   i=0;
   c=0;
   }   

msg=string;
strcpy (ring, "RING");
if ( strcmp (msg , ring) ==0)
      {
      nr++;
      glcd_text57(5,40,msg,1,1);
      }
}

void main()
{
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   setup_adc(ADC_CLOCK_DIV_2);
   setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
   setup_spi(FALSE);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL|RTCC_DIV_1);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);

   // TODO: USER CODE!!
   
glcd_init (ON);
delay_us(100);
glcd_fillScreen (0);

enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);

printf("at\r\n");
delay_us(50);

while(1)
   {
       if (nr>5)
       {
       // Enable some thing like Relè ecc
       printf("Activated");
       nr=0;
       }

   msg=string;
   glcd_text57(5,10,msg,1,1);
   delay_ms(1000); 
   glcd_fillScreen (0);
}
