Serin serout problem

[lerameur]

I took a picture of both circuit
receiving on the left
http://www3.sympatico.ca/lerameur/

its the exacte code you gave me :

'RECEIVE
INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"
DEFINE OSC 20 'use external 20mhz crystal
CMCON = 7 : ANSEL = 0 : ADCON1 = 7
DEFINE LCD_DREG PORTA ' Set LCD Data port
DEFINE LCD_DBIT 0 ' Set starting Data bit (0 or 4) if 4-bit bus
DEFINE LCD_RSREG PORTB ' Set LCD Register Select port
DEFINE LCD_RSBIT 1 ' Set LCD Register Select bit
DEFINE LCD_EREG PORTB ' Set LCD Enable port
DEFINE LCD_EBIT 0 ' Set LCD Enable bit
DEFINE LCD_BITS 4 ' Set LCD bus size (4 or 8 bits)
DEFINE LCD_LINES 2 ' Set number of lines on LCD

'try1 = count of times waiting for bytes, try2 = count of bytes received
try1 var byte : try2 var byte : temp var word : tempf var word : input portb.3 : pause 2500

loop:
lcdout $fe , $c0 , "Waiting..." , DEC3 try1 , "," , DEC3 try2
try1 = try1 + 1
serin portB.3 , n2400 , 1000 , loop , [ temp.highbyte , temp.lowbyte , tempf.highbyte , tempf.lowbyte ]
try2 = try2 + 2
lcdout $fe , $c0 , "Received.." , DEC3 try1 , "," , DEC3 try2
lcdout $fe , $c0 , "Displaying" , DEC3 try1 , "," , DEC3 try2
lcdout $fe , $80 , "Tc=" , DEC temp , "C,Tf=" , DEC tempf , ".."
lcdout $fe , $c0 , "Displayed." , DEC3 try1 , "," , DEC3 try2
goto loop
End

The picture at the site is messed up. Scale it down or something.
Have you tried switching the pins/code over to RB2?
Have you tried changing the receiver to t2400?

Change
serin portB.3 , n2400 , 1000 , loop , [ temp.highbyte , temp.lowbyte , tempf.highbyte , tempf.lowbyte ]

to
serin portB.2 , n2400 , 100 , loop , [ temp.highbyte , temp.lowbyte , tempf.highbyte , tempf.lowbyte ]

Now you should see try1 increment fast, like 10 times per second.
Wait on it for a couple of minutes. If it only increases about once a minute or so, something is wrong with your oscillator, it's running on the internal backup failsafe oscillator.

I thought you said DEC3 doesn't work?

[lerameur]

the site is ok now,

the counter goes up ten times as fast

I change to t2400 and n 2400 , no change,

bth crytals are clocking 20 Mhz,

also I have been swaping pic, i am using 2 pic16f88, so they can be both ****ed up, and I have a third one, with no change,
I just tried a brand new pic88, no changes, i swapped the crytals between the two circuits too!

I thought you said DEC3 doesn't work? yes I thought, it was because try2 was not initialized, and it happend only where dec3 was, . The other program was compiling

What is that big yellow wire for? The one that looks like it's going over the top of the picture? Either that or zoom back out just a little bit more for your picture....

[lerameur]

that is the data, serout going to the input pin of the other circuit

i also tried an f648a, nothing on the lcd
k

[lerameur]

I just flip the circuit around, I mean take the receiving chip put it in the sending circuit and flip the other chip around, Then I just plug in the input wire to the new receiving chip.
Same output as before. The receiving LCD just sits there

Ok, I'm back...the relatives showed up for a bit...had to deal with them...

Your programs:
Transmit side - output is on RB2, correct?
Receive side - input on RB3, correct?

And the big yellow wire is the data wire right?

[lerameur]

yes that sit,
Its hard to belive it works on your end.

thats ok , i was watching mad tv...
