How to calculate CRC16 checksum for iButton

[ashwini kotwal]

I have made small iButton project. I want to calculate CRC-16 checksum in which polynomial is x^16 + x^15 + x^2 + 1. If I use 'writePagePacket' function for writing data on iButton then it gets automatically calculated, how will I get CRC checksum using 'write' function only?

Hi there
I am mot famiriar with the ibutton you work on but here are my code i use in a modbus protocol to calculate CRC16 cheksums

Calcul_CRC16:

CRC16=$FFFF
For i=0 to (DataAmount -3)
CRC16=CRC16^DATACRC[i]
For j=1 to 8
IF CRC16.Bit0=1 Then
CRC16=$A001^(CRC16>>1)
Else
CRC16=CRC16>>1
EndIF
Next j
Next i
Return

hope it helps

And if you change the


For j=1 to 8

to


For j=0 to 7

you will gain and a few memory bytes!

i am not sure only one way to find out try and try again

I haven't used the CRC16 routines, but Tom's CRC8 worked great on a project of mine.

Thanks for replying me.
I tried the given code, but I am not able to write it in C#.Net. As I don't know the varaible type of CRC16. Can you please explain me?

Dear Andre

i need the sample code for implementing modbus slave on a PIC16F877A

please help me

[Andre_Pretorius]

here is the code i used on a 16f627
Hope it helps

Dear Andre

thank you for the code you have posted,actually i am trying to use the PIC16F877A

another thing i have copy and pasted your code to proton+ compiler and i got some error messages one of them was
for this part of the code:

IF CRC16.Bit0=1 Then '<------ error here is saying Invalid Cast for this type of variable
CRC16=$A001^(CRC16>>1)
Else
CRC16=CRC16>>1
EndIF

i don't know what does that means,please help me.

Best Regards

[Ioannis]

First of all this is PBP forum list not Proton.

Second, as this is PBP, all examples are for this compiler. The syntax is a little different.

The syntax of the line IF CRC16.Bit0=1 Then means: Set bit 0 of the word variable CRC16.

You have to open your manual and find how this can be accomplished in your Compiler.

Daer Andre
can you please post the circuit schematic for such code?

i want to know what is the use for the
PORTB.4 = 1
PORTB.5 = 0

any clue?

best regards

Have you read the document emplementing modbus on serial comms,
You can get it at www.modbus.org

[mech962784]

Dear Andre

yes i have the modbus specification.

but these pins or at least PortB.5 is not something related to the specification,i think it is related to RS485 handshaking (correct me if i am wrong).

is it correct?and which pin it is connected to?

[Andre_Pretorius]

Sorry for the delay
Yes pin portb.5 is for rs485 communication but this part is not working yet still need to try and find out why
ps. any idea why it does not work
Portb.4 is only showing running
Hope this help
