View Full Version : SERIN2, SEROUT2,& HSEROUT works great, HSERIN not working

Using all the information found here on the forums (thanks to all that help answer questions on the forum) we have a working SERIN2 program. We would like to convert the program to HSERIN to hopefully gain efficiency, and possibly use the On Interrupt. (i.e. http://melabs.com/resources/samples/x1/pbp/serbufx.htm)
Unfortunately we have been unable to receive any characters using HSERIN, but SERIN2 works great. HSEROUT also works great.

This line works great...
SerIn2 GPSin,baud19200,Timeout,Nostring,[WAIT("$GPRMC,"),dec2 gpsutctimehh,DEC4 gpsutctimemmss,skip 1,dec3 gpsmsec,skip 1,GPSstatus,skip 28,dec4 GPSspeed,skip 1,dec2 gpsspeedtenth,skip 1, dec3 gpscourse,skip 1, dec2 gpscoursetenth]

This line returns nothing but zeros (0)...
hserin Timeout,Nostring,[WAIT("$GPRMC,"),dec2 gpsutctimehh,DEC4 gpsutctimemmss,skip 1,dec3 gpsmsec,skip 1,GPSstatus,skip 28,dec4 GPSspeed,skip 1,dec2 gpsspeedtenth,skip 1, dec3 gpscourse,skip 1, dec2 gpscoursetenth]

Is HSERIN more involved than what I have shown in the below example (two examples shown, one SERIN and one HSERIN)? The HSEROUT works great, just as we would expect, but HSERIN receives nothing.

Here is the entire working version with SERIN...

Just a quick skim through and this caught my eye


SerIn2 GPSin,baud19200

Then you have
SPBRG = 64 ' 9600 Baud

When using HSERIN/HSEROUT, you MUST use DEFINE. Then later, If you want to alter the baudrate of whatever else feature of the USART on the fly, then you use SPBRG, TXSTA, RCSTA.

If I remember correctly, If you don't specify any DEFINE, PBP assume 2400 bauds.

Another thing, always begin without timeout label for testing purpose, then add it. However, an ISR is more efficient.

Dave, thanks for the response.

The SerIn2 GPSin,baud19200 is only used in the first example (SERIN2 example). And SPBRG = 64 ' 9600 Baud is only used in the second example (HSERIN). I was trying to show the two versions of the code, side by side, in my above post, but I cleaned them up below, removing the committed lines of code from each example. Both examples should (or that is our intention) accomplish the same thing. At first look, I though it could be hardware, but we are using RC6/TX and RC7/RX, and not changing any hardware when we go from SERIN2 to HSERIN. Keep in mind that SERIN2 works great.

Here is the entire working version with SERIN2...

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I did as you said and added the following...

DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 129 ' 9600 Baud @ 0.16%
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically

It appears the "DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically" line did it, as now everything works as expected.

Thank you,

Rodney

Yeah, that line is indeed handy. It also helps when SPBRG/TXSTA/RCSTA are properly set for the right OSC speed ;)

When using HSERIN/HSEROUT, you MUST use DEFINE.

Then why does this work?
