How On Interrupt works?

**koossa** · - 9th February 2008, 09:25

Good day Picers

Where can I get a simple explanation or sample how "On Interrupt" works with Serial communication (HSERIN / HSEROUT)?

Bruce, thank you very much for your sample file.
I have tried to create an easier implementation, just to see if it is working on my circuit.
I have a TX circuit and an RX circuit, using RS485.

Below is my code. The LED on the TX is blinking, but not on the RX side.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

TX Code
<hr>
<code>
  Include "Modedefs.bas"

  DEFINE     OSC 4

  DE_OR_RE    VAR PORTC.5     ' DE and RE Pin of SN75176
  LEDPIN     VAR PORTD.2     ' LED to confirm PIC is running
  DATARECEIVED  VAR BYTE
  
  '======== HSEROUT, HSERIN SETTINGS ==========
  DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h
  DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h
  DEFINE HSER_BAUD 9600

  ADCON1 = 7

  RCIF  VAR  PIR1.5& nbsp;   ' Alias RCIF (USART Receive Interrupt Flag)
  OERR  VAR  RCSTA.1     ' Alias OERR (USART Overrun Error Flag)
  CREN  VAR  RCSTA.4     ' Alias CREN (USART Continuous Receive Enable)
  
Main:
  HIGH DE_OR_RE              ' Make ready for RX
  HSEROUT ["1"]        &n bsp;    ' Send R1
  HIGH LEDPIN
  PAUSE 5000
  LOW LEDPIN
  PAUSE 5000
GOTO MAIN

END
</code>

RX Code

  ON INTERRUPT GoTo serialin      ' Declare interrupt handler routine

Lookup disable in your manual under ON INTERRUPT. Then lookup RETURN under GOSUB. That will get you started.

Thank you!!

You're welcome, but you'll want to consider a few other things here too.

1. RCIF is only cleared after a read of RCREG. To clear RCIF, you will want to read this data
with HSERIN or X = RCREG until RCIF is cleared.

2. Values you use in hardware USART defines are not loaded into USART registers if there is
not at least one instance of HSERIN or HSEROUT used somewhere within your program.

Just inserting these defines is not configuring the hardware USART for you. Just FYI.

Hi Bruce,
That's good info! Thanks, How is that book coming? Sign me up for a copy

Where in the Picbasic Manual can I get more info on what INTCON means and how to determine its value?

Thank you

Information on INTCON will be found in the PIC data sheet. Not your PBP manual.

Do NOT GOSUB to another routine outside the DISABLE / ENABLE block in your interrupt handler.

After the ENABLE, PBP begins placing more code to jump to the interrupt check routine. So what happens is you jump out to BLINK, you land smack on code that sees the interrupt has not been serviced, and bingo, you're sent right back to SerialDataReceived before code in the BLINK routine can execute.

Keep all code in your interrupt handler in the protected area between the DISABLE/ENABLE block, or simply remove ENABLE. If SerialDataReceived and BLINK are the last routines in program memory, then you don't even need the ENABLE. This tells PBP to start inserting code before & after each PBP statement to test for the interrupt condition.

Try this;

Code:

 DISABLE  
SerialDataReceived:                ' Buffer the character received
  HSerin [DATARECEIVED]        ' Read USART and store character to next empty location
  IF RCIF Then SerialDataReceived
  HIGH LEDPIN
  PAUSE 1000
  LOW LEDPIN
  PAUSE 1000
  RESUME

  END
