Finally trying to do some serial- Won't compile :(

using 16F1947
PBP2.6A
MPLAB 8.53
and heres the big code:

Code:

---

INCLUDE "MODEDEFS.BAS"

DEFINE HSER2_RCSTA  90H
DEFINE HSER2_TXSTA  20H
DEFINE HSER2_BAUD  2400
DEFINE HSER2_CLROERR 1

 LED0 = 0
START:
 HSERIN2 [WAIT("S"),SPEED]
 LED0 = 1
 HSEROUT2 [SPEED]
 'HESRIN2 [WAIT("G")]
 GOTO START

---

Heres the errors:

Code:

---

ERROR: Macro HSERIN2WAIT?CL not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro HSERIN2?B not found in macro file.
ERROR: Macro HSEROUT2?B not found in macro file.

---

edit: forgot to mention if I take out the "2's" as if using EUSART1, it will compile as is

There is nothing wrong with your code, it is something in PBP.
You code works with other two port chips.

Contact Melabs and ask for Darrel :)

BTW...

INCLUDE "MODEDEFS.BAS"
is not needed.

And your code only worked with the other chips when the VARs were defined. ;)

Leave it to me to find a problem. OK I will attempt to contact them/him

I didn't think so, but I put it in when it didn't work. Seemed to be the "regular" answer. I will take it out.

Just posting for the VAR's sake.

From what I see in the .LIB file, it seems the 2nd USART is not implement yet in any 16F... PIC(tm)

Seems like I missed that declaration of limitation when deciding to buy.

I, you or some, could copy paste HSERIN macros (and some other compiler directives), modify it, include them in the .LIB so you have a "fully workable" 2nd USART... but it belongs to Melabs to fix :p

Nothing stop you to implement a home-made one though...

Modifying .LIB files works well, but it is a mixed blessing when MELabs releases a new version. You want the new features, but you have to be really careful to move your changes into the new library. When that time comes, I highly recommend the program ARAXIS MERGE.

Thanks for the help guys. I looked at the LIB files and I don't want to mess with them. I will try my luck with support, until then I guess I will just do it "long hand". It seems to me the advantage of HSERIN/HSEROUT is easy array TX/RX and data formating.

Can anyone confirm this?

true. do you need all features, high baudrate and interupts? In meantime can DEBUG/SERIN be enough?

I am not sure what "all features" are. No I don't need high Baud or interupts. I DO need to use the 2nd UART and not the 1st. I am trying to play with SERxxx2 now just to establish board function and communcation with PC. When I have that working, I will move on to the hardware UART. I am hoping by then maybe Melabs will have an answer as to fixing the omission or not. From there I will decide how I want to code the hardware UART based on their answer. Right now I am feeling like a "PBP talking to the registers" is going to be the answer. Thats still a tiny bit simpler then writing it in ASM.

Or I will come up with an "include" file so I can use it like HSERxxx. maybe I'll call it BSHIN and BSHOUT!

Sounds like The hardware serial port 2 should be on this bugs list, as well as HPWM for the chips that have multiple HPWM but can't use the command. At least with HPWM you can easily control it manually though.

Well I heard back from Melab. They confirmed the 2nd Usart has been overlooked in the 16F devices. They said there may still be time to include it in the 2.6B patch. But not sure just yet. So for me, I guess only time will tell if they fix it before I need it. And with the way I work, it may take me a month to need it, or could be tomorrow - LOL

That's what happen when the PCB is design first :D

Wish you a month before needing it ;)

Or, to throw a really big wrench in, sounds like you could change to a PIC18F6722 or similar PIC18 device, and have two serial ports.

@ steve, somewhere I missed the part about designing hardware around the UNKNOWN compiler limitations instead of the hardware requirements.

@walter, I will look at those chips and see if I want to change.

Now don't get me wrong, this is no show stopper by any means. Simply a matter of (in)convience:D

It's a hidden free feature not much ;)

I feel your pain, I think we all hit one of those feature once in a while. At least Melabs are aware and they have it listed, so it's all good. Just need to wait a lil bit.

Fortunately, in your case, "this is no show stopper by any means".
