| RS232 not working |

Hi, I am new learner of PIC microcontroller. I am using microchip explore 8 board with PIC16f1719. I wrote a simple program try to send string through RS232 to computer but doesn't work. I have try with other demo program and confirmed the PIC could actually send data to the PC. I guess might be something wrong with the code? Would anyone help me out? Thanks
Please find code below:
| Code: |
#include <16f1719.h>
#include <string.h>
#use delay (clock=20M)
#use rs232 (baud=9600,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7)
//#pin_select U1TX=PIN_C6
//#pin_select U1RX=PIN_C7
/*
*
*/
int main()
{
while(1)
{
//setup_uart(9600);
//printf("Hello World");
output_b(0x0);
output_d(0x0);
while(!input(PIN_A5))
{
printf("Hello World");
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_B3,1);
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_B2,0);
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_B1,1);
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_B0,0);
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_D3,1);
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_D2,0);
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_D1,1);
delay_ms(10);
output_bit(PIN_D0,0);
delay_ms(10);
}
}

| Code: |
#include <16f1719.h>
#include <string.h>
#use delay (clock=20M)
#use rs232 (baud=9600,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7)
|
First a slight syntactical change:
| Code: |
#include <16f1719.h>
#use delay (clock=20M)
#pin_select U1TX=PIN_C6
#pin_select U1RX=PIN_C7
//The PIN_SELECT stuff must be before you use the UART
#use rs232 (baud=9600,UART1)
//Generally only include things (except for the chip setup) _[u]after[/u]_
//the chip is configured
#include <string.h>
|
However now there is a big problem. Where is the 20Mhz clock coming from?....
The Explorer8, has an 8MHz crystal. Has yours been changed?.
Then the chip needs to be told to use this crystal. So:
| Code: |
#include <16f1719.h>
#FUSES HS //This enables the high speed oscillator
//Suitable for a 20MHz crystal
#FUSES NOWDT //Otherwise some chips will default to enabling this
#FUSES NOLVP //Should normally always be disabled.
#use delay (clock=20M)
#pin_select U1TX=PIN_C6
#pin_select U1RX=PIN_C7
//The PIN_SELECT stuff must be before you use the UART
#use rs232 (baud=9600,UART1)
//Generally only include things (except for the chip setup) _after_
//the chip is fully configured
#include <string.h>
|
Now whether this will work depends on what crystal your board has.
This is why the standard 'first test' should always be to simply flash an LED. Only once you have this flashing _at the right rate_, can you move on to trying serial. |

Oh I see. Yes, the clock setting was incorrect. I just randomly put a clock time on it since I saw some sample code online was just like that, but i have no clue how I should set it. Thanks for your help. |
