    Default SERIN2 WAIT problem

    good day to all in this forum,
    I am currently using PIC18f252 for receiving a data stream via UART connected to portc.6 .
    I use the following method: SERIN2 RX_12,396,3000,WARNE ,[WAIT("T="),STR TE\4 ] . Mode is 0.
    Everything work well but the WARNE label is not fired if the portc.6 pin is stack LOW.. It works correctly if the pin stays HIGH all the time .
    Just to summarize the timeout label is fired in case of "T=" is not received within 3 secs and the line stays HIGH.
    "T=" could not be received for the following reasons:
    > because not transmitted
    > because the line is staked LOW
    > because the line is stacked HIGH.
    I am asking if there is a possibility to jump to timeout label in all three condition.
    Any assistance is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    two thoughts
    1 investigate why rx line is being held low and stop it from happening
    2 change strategy and use the usart

    Thanks Richard,
    I am going to try to consider all the possible failures of the radio receiver.
    Do you mean to use the HW UART pin RC7 ?
    The point is that i am using two UART in this project.
    Any other possibilty to consider ?
    Thanks again for your interest on the matter.
    regards

    If you can use another PIC there are some with 2 uarts. Either 16F or 18F like these:

    16F19175
    16F19176
    18F43K22
    18F44K22
    18F45K22

    and many other pin compatible with your chip.

    yes , you did not indicate the uart was already in use


    Any other possibilty to consider ?
    as ionis says a better chip with 2 eusarts
    or
    check pin status before using serin
    or
    write your own serin routine that can detect a permanent spacing condition

    I have to ask, What is the serial input port connected to? Does the receiver have a CMOS output meaning it can sink and source voltage for the input pin? If it is an open collector output from the receiver then I would connect a pullup resistor of about 10K ohms from +5 to the input pin of the micro. I have never had issues with the SERIN command if used with a pullup resistor.

    Thanks very much for all the suggestions received.
    I did solve the problem by checking the pin state before launch SERIN2: it is working now.
    All the best to all of you,
    regards
