Hserin

[[email protected]]

Hello,

I'm pulling my hair out, so I got on this forum hoping that someone could help me with my sanity.

I am trying to create a Christmas show with some boards that I built earlier this year. I am transmitting using xbees to onboard pics from a piece of software called vixen. Vixen transmits a string like the following:

In hex:

7E 80 00 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 7E 81 00 00 FF 00 00 00 00 00 7E 82 ...

The 7E is some sort of like identifier and the 80, 81, and 82 are the "box" that the data is intended for. The following 8 hex values are then the brightnesses of each of the 8 channels on board.

I setup HSERIN like this:

HSERIN [wait($7E),wait($80),STR INP\8]

It seems to work fine, when the identifier is the last one in the string, so for the example above, my identifier would have to be $82 in order for the device to work correctly. In other words, the rest of my boxes with identifier 80 or 81 would not receive everything correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Dave

Receive 9 bytes to the array, and test for the "Box" code after receiving the data.
Maybe something like this...


HSERIN [wait($7E),STR INP\9]

SELECT CASE INP(0)
CASE $80
; The data for Box $80 is in INP(1 thru 8)

CASE $81
; The data is for Box $81

CASE $82
; The data is for Box $82

END SELECT

Thanks for the response.

I tried loading the 9 characters after the $7E, and then running it through the case statement and I get the same problems.

I tried sending back out serially what I am was loading into inp, and I realized that I think that actually it is receiving correctly, but in fact that it has something to do with the dimming. I don't know if anybody has the time to look at all of this, but I'll attach my code below and see if anybody catches anything that I'm not.

The USART settings indicate that you want to receive at 115200 baud, with the CPU running at 20Mhz.

But since there isn't an OSC defined, PBP defaults to 4Mhz, which would give you the wrong baudrate.

If you are actually running at 4Mhz, then the closest you can get to 115200, is 125000. That would be a SPBRG of 1.

Hello to everybody,

I have ALSO a problem with HSERIN(?).
My setup is CPU 16F627A internal OSC 4Mhz.I want to send via a termial(hyper or similar) a byte to pic.
The PIC reads the byte and it sends to the DS1620 Digital Thermometer and Thermostat.That is not working......

FOR EXAMPLE if i send via the termial the hex A1 (this is the InChar) I should have take an answer to the terminal with the stored value of high temperature limit.The DS1620 is working with the PIC.
BUT I CAN NOT FIND THE MISTAKE

HERE IS MY FULL CODE

PLEASE I need your advice

My setup is CPU 16F627A internal OSC 4Mhz.I want to send via a termial(hyper or similar) a byte to pic.
Use a 4Mhz crystal or resonator instead of the internal 4Mhz.
HERSIN/HSEROUT are clock sensitive. The DS1620...not so much...

[ngeronikolos]

I will try to add an external crystal BUT i do not think that this is the brpblem!!!!!!!!!!The echo sample code for HERSIN/HSEROUT is working...


Something else happend.When It reads the byte and trying to send to DS1620
(Shiftout).

Maybe you need to make the variable a number of some kind?
From the manual...


Modifier Operation
{I}{S}BIN{1..16} Send binary digits
{I}{S}DEC{1..5} Send decimal digits
{I}{S}HEX{1..4} Send hexadecimal digits
REP c\n Send character c repeated n times
STR ArrayVar{\n} Send string of n characters

My variable is the InChar (look the code) and I set it as a byte.

The possible value could be $a1 or $a2 or $aa.

When I type that value via the terminal I have it back (hserout) but I do not have correct answer from the DS1620.

The strange thing is that I send
$a1

and I receive back
$
a
1

[mackrackit]

hserin 100,start,[WAIT($), HEX InChar]
Shiftout DQ, CLK, MSBFIRST, ["$",HEX InChar]

MAYBE????

[Darrel Taylor]

Do you have a Pull-Up resistor on PORTA.4 (RST)?

It's an Open Collector output, so it can't go HIGH on it's own.

[ngeronikolos]

Of course my friend Taylor I use Pull-Up resistor on PORTA.4...
