Re: Can't reliably transfer over serial connection between two PICs

Why 22k? It seems pretty high to have. Your post suggests you've tried a lower value like 1K; if both PICs are running at the same voltage levels, then altogether do away with the resistor. Due to...

Re: Can't reliably transfer over serial connection between two PICs

How about this code:

x vart word
x=345
barka:
serout2 portc.3,84,["s",x]
pause 100
goto barka

Re: serial LCD 1602 Backpack using PIC16F690 for Hitach HD44780

Less code usage. If for some reason you need Serin, it may hang if the device is not replying correctly. Hserin has timout and will save the day.

For your project it may not have any meaning, but...

Re: serial LCD 1602 Backpack using PIC16F690 for Hitach HD44780

Hello,

you're right
my assumption was that software or hardware control serial communication are the same
and one way or another I'll get the same result.

if I may ask in this project what...

Re: Can't reliably transfer over serial connection between two PICs

if I reduce control values to 1 or two, then it works, but totally wrong data is being decoded.

Re: Can't reliably transfer over serial connection between two PICs

I just tried this code, and it does not work:

TX:

Main:
FOR TxValue = 0 TO 255

Re: Can't reliably transfer over serial connection between two PICs

Yes, X is word type, and it sometimes get values over 8 bits, but never 345.
I tried sending lower numbers, like 4 or 16 or whatever - they also got distorted.

I also tried like this:

Re: serial LCD 1602 Backpack using PIC16F690 for Hitach HD44780

Hello Ioannis,

good question,

when I design the PCB I used the PortB.5 with a 20Mhz crystal with bigger pcb foot print 46x17mm
then I decided to lower the parts count and the PCB foot print...

Re: Can't reliably transfer over serial connection between two PICs

1. How can you be sure that the receiving PIC will start "listening" just before the sending PIC? Better use a start character on the sender and use this character as a WAIT one on the receiving PIC...

Companion Sheild

The entry level shield is labelled The Companion Shield. This is a PCB laid out in the pattern of a solderless breadboard. The holes are single sided, which means that components can easily be removed using solder mop braid, or a solder vacuum tool, if a mistake is made, or components need to be re-used.

The (PBP3) Companion Shield Manual iCan be downloaded from here

What is Amicus18?

Amicus is a multifunction development system inspired by the popular Arduino board, however, the Amicus board uses a Microchip PIC^® microcontroller instead of an Atmel AVR^tm type.

Comprehensive documentation and a helpful and friendly support environment, make using Amicus18 an easy and enjoyable experience for beginners and seasoned programmers.

Forum Moderator Mackrakit (Dave) very kindly ported the Proton BASIC Compiler code over to PBP3 and modified the original AMicus18 docuemts for PBP3 users.
