16F877A USART Problem
PostPosted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 9:26 am     Reply with quote

Hi friends.

I am having troubles with mi PIC 16F877A and his USART module. I am usign MAX232.

This code don�t work.

Code:

#include <16F877A.h>
#device adc=10
#FUSES NOWDT, HS, NOPUT, NOPROTECT, NODEBUG
#FUSES BROWNOUT, NOLVP, NOCPD, NOWRT                    
#use delay(clock=20000000,RESTART_WDT)
#use rs232 (baud=57600,parity=n,[b]xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7[/b],bits=8,restart_wdt) // HARDWARE USART

void main() {
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
   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);

  while(1)
  {
  int i=0;
    while(i<255) {
    printf("Current CHAR: %C\n\r",i);
    i++;
    delay_ms(100);
    }

  }
}



But following code works.

Code:

#include <16F877A.h>
#device adc=10
#FUSES NOWDT, HS, NOPUT, NOPROTECT, NODEBUG
#FUSES BROWNOUT, NOLVP, NOCPD, NOWRT                    
#use delay(clock=20000000,RESTART_WDT)
#use rs232 (baud=57600,parity=n,[b]xmit=PIN_C4,rcv=PIN_C5[/b],bits=8,restart_wdt) // SOFTWARE USART

void main() {
   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
   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);

  while(1)
  {
  int i=0;
    while(i<255) {
    printf("Current CHAR: %C\n\r",i);
    i++;
    delay_ms(100);
    }

  }
}



it�s seems hardware usart fail.

thank you.

try using the same IO pins as the hardware UART but forcing the compiler to use software.

Code:
#use rs232 (baud=57600,parity=n,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8, force_sw) // SOFTWARE USART


For your hardware implementation you forgot to add the keyword errors but this affects the receive logic not the trnsmit logic.

HI

thankz for answer..

Well, My intention is to send information towards the PC only....i will try your suggestion.


Bye

Hi there

I have tested your code, and this is the result.

1.- USART�s pins with force_sw as simple I/O, works fine for rs232 communications. TX and RX functions works very well.

2.- I did some test.
a.- TX in force_sw mode / RX in hardware mode ==> TX ok / RX not OK
b.- TX in hardware mode / RX in force_sw mode ==> TX not OK / RX OK


Code:

#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600,bits=8,parity=n,xmit=pin_c6,rcv=pin_c7,force_sw,errors,stream=pc1)
#use rs232(baud=9600,bits=8,parity=n,xmit=pin_c6,rcv=pin_c7,errors,stream=pc2)

void main() {
char c;

   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF);
   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);

   while (1) {
    c=fgetc(pc2);  //RX in hardware mode
    fputc(c,pc1);   //TX in force_sw mode


  }

}


after

Code:

while (1) {
    c=fgetc(pc2);  //RX in hardware mode. DONT WORK
    fputc(c,pc1);   //TX in force_sw mode

    delay_ms(1000);
    fputc(c,pc2);   //As RX dont work, TX in HARD/SW mode dont work also.


  }



Im afraid USART HARDWARE ist FAULT....


A question:

- When i use usart in force_sw mode, the data to send is stored in RAM or TXSTA register????

thank you

What compiler version?.
If you look back a few days, another poster was having problems with the receive, on the hardware UART, on another chip, and I suggested he simply set the TRIS bit for the RX line. This is a fault, that seems to have appeared a few compiler versions ago, with some chips, when using standard_io, where the compiler clears the TRIS bit incorrectly, setting the receive pin as an output (I have reported it to CCS). Can I suggest you try the same fix?
The software UART does everything in RAM.

Best Wishes
