Wait for a string on a serial port

[flotulopex]

Hi,

I'm trying to do almost the same as RuudNL but I'm having some trouble to make it work.

From the Serial Communicator (MECANIQUE), using a FTDI TTL232R serial cable, I send a command identifier and a value to the PIC.

' ====== FUSES ====================================================================================
' PIC 12F683
@ __CONFIG _FCMEN_OFF &_IESO_OFF &_BOD_OFF &_CPD_OFF &_CP_OFF &_MCLRE_OFF &_PWRTE_OFF &_WDT_OFF &_HS_OSC

' ====== REGISTERS ================================================================================
' Registers   76543210
ANSEL      = %00000000  'Disable analog inputs
ADCON0     = %00000000  'ADC is OFF
CMCON0     = %00000111  'Comparator is OFF
OPTION_REG = %10000000  'Pull-Ups disabled
TRISIO     = %00000001  'Inputs/Outputs
GPIO       = %00000000  'High/Low

' ====== DEFINES ==================================================================================
DEFINE OSC 8

' ====== VARIABLES ================================================================================
TX_ON  var GPIO.2 'LED
DataIn var GPIO.0
Switch var byte
BdRate var WORD
          
' ====== INITIALIZE ===============================================================================
TX_ON  = 0
Switch = 0
BdRate = 49236 '9600 OIN

' ====== PROGRAM ==================================================================================
MAIN:
    SERIN2 DataIn,BdRate,[WAIT("Identifier"),Switch]
    IF Switch = 1 THEN TX_ON = 1
    IF Switch = 0 THEN TX_ON = 0
    GOTO MAIN
END

Unfortunately, the PIC doesn't react to the incoming data.

I might not use the correct syntax in the Serial Communicator.

Do I have to type something different as this here:


Thanks for any help.
