Dual USART, Second USART sends but not receives, PIC18F24K22

[svjohngalt]

My application is utilizing both USARTs for this chip. The primary USART is working fine. The second USART will transmit but will not receive. I sususpect I have an issue with the configuration. I did see this note for the RX2 pin in the documentation with Note 2 below for the RX2 pin. I do not know what this information means.


2: Alternate pin assignment for P2B, T3CKI, CCP3 and CCP2 when Configuration bits PB2MX, T3CMX, CCP3MX and
CCP2MX are clear.

Thanks

TRISB.7 = 1

RX1 and RX2 Pins = input pins.

I only see 6 of the 8 TRIS bits being set for each port.

Something happened in the cut and paste, all 8 TRIS bits are set.
I did change the bits to inputs and it didn't resolve the issue:
TRISA = %11111111 ' Setup TRIS
TRISB = %11110000
TRISC = %11111111

Any other suggestions on why hserin2 may not be working?

Thanks

Define OSC 16

what is it 8 or 16 ?

no 3

'Configuration
DEFINE FOSC INTIO67
that's not a configuration , it does nothing


no 4

hserin2 100, main, [hex char2]

main does not exist in the snippet , who knows what goes on there

no 5

given that hserin2 does infact work correctly when used correctly , the fault probably lies in the code not shown

[richard]

also, char2 we cant see how it was declared but if its a byte then it can only receive a single hex digit
it may never be $13 it may only be 0 to F
$13 sent as serial hex is ascii 0x31,0x33 ie two chrs

you need to be sure what you actually sending

I'd try this if hex is whats sent
hserin2 100, main, [hex2 char2]
hserout2 ["input was", hex char2]
if char2 = $13 then

Sinde you say that UART1 is working fine with your config settings, then UART2 should also be working fine with the same config settings.
Change your lines to

DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically

It is now working. It was the issue of sending bytes and data mismatch. I had HSERIN2 100, main, [HEX char2] with char2 defined as a byte. When I dropped the HEX modifier, it worked properly and that is my last issue to resolve. My project is not complete and thank you everyone for your input.

Thanks
