Serial data sent to 16F627A being read incorrectly by PIC?

I'm having a problem with trying to read a single byte over hardware serial @ 2400 8N1 on a 16F627A running at 4Mhz. I've created a very thin program below to simply read the byte on the hardware RX (B1) and send it back out on the hardware TX (B2) but what it echoes out is not what is sent to it (I verified what is being sent with a logic analyzer)

Code:

---

include "modedefs.bas"
#CONFIG
    __config _FOSC_INTOSCIO & _WDT_OFF & _MCLRE_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF
#ENDCONFIG
define OSC 4
define HSER_CLROERR 1
define HSER_RCSTA 90h
define HSER_TXSTA 24h
define HSER_BAUD 2400

Loop:
    if PIR1.5 then hserout [RCREG]
goto Loop

---

I originally had some variables naming the PIR1.5, etc. and a variable to store the byte that was read in but moved to this when testing (and both ways act the same)

Essentially if I send a byte, the PIC reads it in "wrong". I've verified the data coming into the PIC and going back out with logic analyzer and the issue seems limited to the RX side. I just made a PC program to send a single byte from an FTDI USB/serial adapter from 0x00 to 0xFF and record what the PIC sees and responds:

There is a bit of a pattern in there where the odd numbers count down from 127 (e.g. 1 is seen as 127, 3 is seen as 126, 251 is seen as 2, 253 is seen as 1) and the even numbers count down from the lower bits (every 2nd even number counts down from 63, every 4th even counts down from 31, every 8th counts down from 15 every 16th counts down from 7, etc.)

Any idea why this might be happening? The TX side seems perfectly fine but the RX always sees the bytes on the right when it receives the byte on the left.

If you connect PIC directly or via resistors to PC, 7 bits are sent only.

Add Max232 or MAX3232 type of RS232 chip in between the PIC and the PC.

Take the PC out of the loop you're just introducing more variables, your LA is all you need.

A couple of things to check, is the Fosc (the clock running the PIC, not necesarily the crystal) you tell the compiler is the same as the actual? Is the signal inverted?

Use your LA to decode the signals and look at the polarity? Let the LA determine the baud rate or calculate the bit time at 2400 and measure it on the LA.

I should have elaborated more on the PC part; I moved to sending bytes via PC as a direct result of this issue. The PIC in question is actually supposed to be talking to another device via serial - I need to send a byte to this device to query it and then it responds with a few bytes I need to capture. I can successfully send the byte to the device and the PIC captures the correct amount of bytes in return but it just captures the "wrong" bytes. I changed my code on the PIC to look for these "wrong" bytes and it actually functions but this is quite a hack and I'd like to sort out why it's not reading them properly in the first place.

I put together the simple code above and connected to the FTDI on my computer to be able to quickly test the result of sending various bytes to the PIC to see their result. The bytes my PC send are interpreted by the PIC the same as the bytes the other device was sending (e.g. device/PC sends 0x0A [confirmed w/ LA] but PIC sees 0x3D)

The RX signal is not inverted. The device is listening for an inverted signal to start but that's on the TX side which is passed through an inverter. The TX from the PIC is successfully received by the device and the device's response (not inverted) does not function.

Confirming the baud with the logic analyzer is a good idea; I'll have to do that and report the value. I believe I did have it set to "autobaud" when I first tested and it was something like 2389 or slightly off from 2400 baud but I will confirm again to be sure.

just tried your code on a 16f648a , works perfectly from my pc usb through tty converter to pic , you must have polarity of signal screwed up.

The difference between 2389 and 2400 would not seem a big deal, it only 0.5% (if my maths right, which is unlikely)

I traced out the board and realized another component sitting between the board input and PIC was inverting the signal. The board is being re-purposed from a different use so I was able to bypass that and everything is working as expected. Thanks
