Garbage in from RFID

[lilimike]

Hi,
I can not get arround to read the RFID reader.
I was able to properly read my RFID by connecting to pin 3 from my computer's serial port and using hyperterminal so I know the RFID module is working.

Running my code bellow I see the word "test" on my LCD so I know the LCD is properly connected but everytime I get a beep out of my RFID tag I get garbage characters and different characters every time I use the same tag, I am using the dev board that came with Pickit2 (16F887) and connected LCD in 4 bit mode to port B0-B3, RS to B4 and EN to B5 with output of RFID to port C7.

Any help would be appreciated to get me started.

Thank you.

Are you connecting your reader via a max232 chip to your pic.

Well I was hoping to connect directly to pin RX!
Maybe I am missing some knowledge?
Can this be done?

[Sphere]

The signal needs to be inverted if using the hardware serial pin on your pic hence the reason for the max232. You could just use serin2 comand and run it in inverted mode.

Sphere,

You sent me to the right direction and I finally got it working, I spent a lot of time trying to understanding the mode value from serin2 because in the PBP manual it says bit 15 is not used but it is not specified anywhere (that I could find) that it should be set to 1 but I got it now.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

No problem.
