DMX problems receiving characters
PostPosted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 6:11 pm     Reply with quote

I am using an 18F6520 at 16Mhz to receive DMX. I am using a hardware UART and an SN75176 level convertor. I am not getting valid level data. I am not attempting to detect the start of a DMX packet yet I am only resetting the port (cycling CREN) when I get an Overrun. I always get 0x82 as the level data no matter what level I send. The rcsta byte changes with different levels, ie. when sending 1>512@0 I get FERR (0xD4 for rcsta), when sending levels above zero I get 0xD1. Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong or how to trouble shoot this further?


Below are relavent sections of code

Code:

#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_G1,rcv=PIN_G2,bits=8, ERRORS, STREAM=Serial)
#use rs232(baud=250000,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=9, STREAM=DMX)

#int_rda //DMX receive interupt service routine
void DMX_isr()
{
   while (PIR1bits.RCIF)
   {
      fputc(DMX_rcsta, Serial);
      fputc(data, Serial);

      if (rcsta.OERR) //Overrun
      {
         rcsta.CREN = 0;
         rcsta.CREN = 1;
      }
   }
   return;
}

You code never reads the data value from the uart. You also can't transmit those data byte inside the ISR. You will always get an overrun error.

reading data from uart
PostPosted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 8:41 am     Reply with quote

So do I need to use fgetc to read from the uart? Then put read data into a buffer and send from the buffer between interrupts? Thank you for the help.

That would do it.

also take a look at

Thanks Mark! Its funny how it works when you actually read the value from the uart! Better a stupid mistake than a hardware problem. Thank you again for your help.

DMX receiving problem
PostPosted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 12:13 am     Reply with quote

I wrote a code like the others based on Mark's code found in this forum, following the same ideas, but it doesn't work. The first problem is that the usart never generates a FERR error to detect the break. Second problem is about baud rate. Is this
Code:
#USE RS232(baud=250000,rcv=PIN_C7,xmit=PIN_C6) 
enough for setting baud rate or do we have to separately initialize using SPBRg reg ?

Here is my code
Code:

#include <16F1938.h>
#device adc=8

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
//#FUSES INTRC_IO                 //Internal RC Osc, no CLKOUT
#FUSES HS                       //High speed Osc (> 4mhz for PCM/PCH) (>10mhz for PCD)
#FUSES NOPUT                    //No Power Up Timer
#FUSES NOPROTECT                //Code not protected from reading
#FUSES MCLR                     //Master Clear pin enabled
#FUSES NOCPD                    //No EE protection
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES IESO                     //Internal External Switch Over mode enabled
#FUSES FCMEN                    //Fail-safe clock monitor enabled
#FUSES WDT_SW 
 #FUSES NOCLKOUT 
 #FUSES NOWRT                    //Program memory not write protected
#FUSES NOVCAP 
#FUSES PLL 
 #FUSES STVREN                   //Stack full/underflow will cause reset
#FUSES BORV19   
   #FUSES NOLVP                    //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES NODEBUG                  //No Debug mode for ICD

#use delay(clock =16000000)

#USE RS232(baud=250000,rcv=PIN_C7,xmit=PIN_C6)
