explanation about HSERIN command!

[DeViLa_Q8]

Maybe this will help?
From the manual
Quote:
As the hardware serial port only has a 2 byte input buffer, it can easily overflow if characters are not read from it often enough. When this happens, the USART stops accepting new characters and needs to be reset. This overflow error can be reset by toggling the CREN bit in the RCSTA register. A DEFINE can be used to automatically clear this error. However, you will not know that an error has occurred and characters may have been lost.

*** DEFINE HSER_ CLROERR*** 1

To manually clear an overrun error:

*** RCSTA. 4 = 0*
*** RCSTA. 4 = 1

dear mackrackit,

I changed the code to manually clear the buffer,but unfortunately it gives the same incorrect result as before .

thank you for yr help,



dear

Can you tell us what you are sending and the result?
Also, how is your hardware set up?

hi mackrackit,

Also, how is your hardware set up?

three PICs are attached to a master PIC all of type 16F877A using RS-485.

configuration without leds lcd definitions :

* MASTER PIC:



Include "Modedefs.bas"
DEFINE OSC 4
DE_OR_RE VAR PORTC.5
RS232_DEBUG_PIN VAR PORTB.5
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 20h
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 25
DEFINE HSER_BAUD 2400
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1
OPTION_REG.7 = 0
CMCON = 7
ADCON1 = 7
B0 = 0

SLave PIC:

Include "Modedefs.bas"
DE_OR_RE VAR PORTC.5
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h
define HSER_TXSTA 20h
define HSER_SPBRG 25 'SPBRG 2400
DEFINE HSER_BAUD 2400
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1
DEFINE OSC 4 ' We're using a 4 MHz oscillator
DEFINE ADC_BITS 8 ' Set A/D for 8-bit operation
DEFINE ADC_CLOCK 1 ' Set A/D clock Fosc/8
DEFINE ADC_SAMPLEUS 50 ' Set A/D sampling time @ 50 uS
TRISA = %11111111
PORTA = %00000000
OPTION_REG.7 = 0
CMCON = 7
ADCON1 = 0

Can you tell us what you are sending and the result?

i'm sending from another PIC 1's and 0's which represent the status of my sensors it's attached on analog pins(four sensors for each slave PIC).
The result should be also received as 1's and 0's as sent in sequence.

thanks for help...

485 ....
Have you enabled/disabled the TX pin?
If you are not familiar with 485 this is a good read

And buried in this thread is some code.

Post your whole code so we can take a look.

hi mackrackit,
sorry for being late but i had some wrok to do the previous days..
here're the full code attached down, so it'll be easier to detect the errors.

Have you enabled/disabled the TX pin?

yea, i'm already receiving and sending but my problem is the incorrect received values.

thanks alot...
