strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

hi everybody .

here its is what i want to do exactly and wat i got .

i want to connect 4 pic16f84a to 1 pic18f4550 serially . and every pic16 send
its portb value to pic18 serially . then pic18 send the value to my pc usb . so i write the code for pic16 and test it on my pc serial port and its working fine and send the right value . what when connect to pic18 , pic18 send wrong values . here is my code and hope to find anything wrong ?

Hi,

not sure if your Oscillator is set to the correct frequency. 20MHz; should this not be 48MHz? Are you defining the configs correctly for use with PLL?

For a 20MHz crystal I use these:

Code:

'Config1L ' Full-speed USB Clock Source Selection: Clock Source from 96MHz PLL/2 ' CPU System Clock Postscaler: Prescaler Divide by 5 for 20MHz Crystal ' 96MHz Prescaler: Divide by 5 (20MHz Input) @ __CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _USBDIV_2_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _PLLDIV_5_1L 'Config1H 'Oscillator: HS oscillator, PLL enabled, HS used by USB 'Fail-Safe Clock Monitor Enable: Enabled 'Internal External Switch Over Mode: Disabled @ __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H & _FCMEM_ON_1H & _IESO_OFF_1H

Cheers

Rob

thanks for reply , but when i paste this code i get an error .

and am sure i setup it to correct frequency .

error :
overwriting previous address contents (0000) .
symbol not previously defined (_fcmem_on_1h) .

regrads .

I've seen this before somewhere. Don't remember what the deal was.

Do a search on fcmem and fcmen.
Should fix you up...

EDIT: Found it...
Old versions of MPLAB use FCMEM, new one uses FCMEN

Skimask has given you the answer for the error but the frequency will need to be defined as 48MHz when you correct to FCMEN instead of FCMEM. This is because the config settings I have given you set the PIC to run from 48MHz PLL clock source which is generated by the PIC internally but using your 20MHz crystal as the original clock source.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.

Cheers

Rob

woow , yes you are right .

all i did is :

1 : for this "symbol not previously defined (_fcmem_on_1h) " error , i changed it

to "(_fcmen_on_1h" .

2 : i comment this lines in "18f4550.inc" in my "pbp" folder :

; __CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_5_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
; __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H

this 2 line is reponsable for this erro "overwriting previous address contents (0000)"

3 : i change "define osc 20" to "48" .

after that , all works fine , and i can now send and recive without any problems .

thanks again .

regards .

Excellent,

glad it's working for you!

Kind regards

Rob

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

Hi Rob:
if pic18f4550 use 16Mhz crystal , how to set 'Config1L to get precise output timing ?

'Config1L
' Full-speed USB Clock Source Selection: Clock Source from 96MHz PLL/2
' CPU System Clock Postscaler: Prescaler Divide by 5 for 20MHz Crystal
' 96MHz Prescaler: Divide by 5 (20MHz Input)
@ __CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _USBDIV_2_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _PLLDIV_5_1L

'Config1H
'Oscillator: HS oscillator, PLL enabled, HS used by USB
'Fail-Safe Clock Monitor Enable: Enabled
'Internal External Switch Over Mode: Disabled
@ __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H & _FCMEM_ON_1H & _IESO_OFF_1H

thanks , regards

what output timing ?

what cpu clock are you aiming for ?
do you need usb clock ?

what version of pbp ?
setting config like this is ancient history

hello,
my complier is PBP3 gold 3.0.9.0
16Mhz crystal work with Pic18f4550
output timing means : if I toggle portB.4 200 , led should toggle every 200ms , but it output toggle only every 20ms , how can i set exactly config to get precise output ? thanks

Lee

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

maybe you should post the actual code you are trying

Quote:

toggle portB.4 200

is not a valid pbp statement

Quote:

@ __CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _USBDIV_2_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _PLLDIV_5_1L

what cpu clock are you aiming for ?
do you need usb clock ?

did you define OSC?

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

Hi
my code is simple as follow:

define osc 48
TRISB = $00 ' Set digit pins to output
mainloop:
toggle portB.5
pause 200
Goto mainloop ' Forever

End

my complier is PBPX 3.0.9.4
16Mhz crystal work with Pic18f4550
I measure portB.5 output led by scope, it toggle only every 20ms , only 1/10 of my seeting , how can i set exactly config for 16MHz crystal application to get precise output ?
I check PBP3\Device\PIC18F4550.PBPINC file internal seting just for 20Mhz

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

Hi
Thanks , I tested PLLDIV = 4 before I posted .
if set PLLDIV = 4 , its output around 16.8ms , do you think any other setting was wrong ?

Best regards
Lee

The input to the PLL needs to be 4MHz , 16/4 = 4

CPUDIV = OSC1_PLL2 yields a 48MHz CPU clock if the PLL is fed correctly

If you don't post you code [in code tags] I would only be guessing

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

Hi
thanks Richard , my code as below

Code:

define osc 48 TRISB = $00 ' Set digit pins to output mainloop: toggle portB.5 pause 200 Goto mainloop ' Forever End

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

your not paying attention the solution has already been offered , and for an issue like this its important to include the config section
config + program are inseparable for diagnosing this problem

Code:

define osc 48 TRISB = $00 ' Set digit pins to output mainloop: toggle portB.5 pause 200 Goto mainloop ' Forever End

RTFM

;wrong define osc 48 DEFINES ARE CASE SENSITIVE
define OSC 48

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

Just testing, as sometimes I've noticed that when pasting code copied from MCS into the forum, it sometimes re-formats it and changes upper to lower case

Just ignore this

Code:

DEFINE OSC 20 ' 18F4520, 20mhz crystal

Edit: - seems to work fine so it's not that, so must be human error ;-)

Re: strange problem ! pic18f4550 & pic16f84a serial communication .

In MCS keywords are reformatted on the fly - but for display purposes only. The case in which you type it in is what's stored in the actual file. If you typ HsERiN that's what stored when you save the file even if MCS displays HSERIN on the screen.

define is a keyword so when you type that in MCS it gets reformatted to upper case (if you have your formatting setup that way) but if you then copy/paste that into Notepad or whatever it reverts to the way you typed it (which can be DefINe or whatever). OSC on the other hand - which is the important thing here - is NOT a keyword that MCS recognizes so it does NOT get reformatted and that's a good thing in this case because if it did you'd see OSC on the screen even if you typed it as osc which would then cause the assembler to not recognize it as OSC.
