    Default UART communication problem

    Hello,

    I am trying to use following code in a PIC18F14K50 to change configuration of a rn42 Bluetooth Module and it goes to command mode but then it gets stuck:


    As an example I want to change name of bluetooth module and then reboot it.
    Code:
    DEFINE LOADER_USED 1
    DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h
    DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h
    DEFINE HSER_BAUD 115200
    DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 12 
    DEFINE HSER_CLOERR 1
    
    DEFINE OSC 24
    
    ADCON0 = 011100
    ADCON1 = 000000
    ADCON2 = 110101
    
    ANSEL = 001000      
    ANSELH = 000011  
    
    TRISC.4 = 0 
    TRISC.0 = 0
    TRISC.1 = 1
    TRISB.5 = 1 
    TRISB.7 = 0 
    
    tx1 VAR PORTB.7
    rx1 VAR PORTB.5
       
    LED VAR PORTC.4
    
    Mybutton VAR PORTC.1
      
    mainloop:
       If Mybutton = 0 Then 
          HIGH LED      ' Turn on LED
                Hserout ["$$$"]                             'enter command mode
                Pause 100        
                Hserout ["SN,MyBT"]                       'Change name to MyBT
                Pause 100
                Hserout ["R,1"]                               'Reboot                      
          Pause 500
       Else
          LOW LED     ' Turn off LED
          Pause 500
       Endif
       Goto mainloop   ' Do it forever
    I receive the data on serial monitor when I use a UART-USB converter so I know the strings are being sent.

    However,the module starts blinking after $$$ but it doesn't perform the rest of commands.The similar Arduino code works without any problem.

    Any idea why it doesn't work?

    Hi,
    Never used the RN42 but shouldn't there be some sort of line termination characters after each command, like a LF or CR?
    How else would it distinguish between for example MyBT and R, perhaps you wanted to change the name to MyBTR....


    EDIT: Yeah, the command reference seems to indicate CR is what it expects.

    You also have a typo, you have DEFINE HSER_CLOERR 1 it should be DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1

    AWESOME! That was the problem and it's working now.
