HSERIN and internal buffer problem on 16F628

[mister_e]

how about

HSERIN 10, jump [command, DEC3 SERIALBYTE]

Could you post the whole thing here?

Hi,
I was just about to make the same sugestion as Steve. But looking at the manual it actually says that if no number follows the DEC modifier it will receive as many digits as it gets. So I'd say it should work as it is (except the missing comma after jump).

Is your X-tal 3.5Mhz or 3.58Mhz? (Can't seem to find a 3.5Mhz so I'm guessing 3.58Mhz). Have you informed PBP of oscillator speed?

DEFINE OSC 3     '<---This assumes a 3.58Mhz X-tal

And how is the USART baud rate generator setup? With PBP defines or 'manual' ?

Please, try adding 3 to the DEC modifier as per Steves post and let us know if that helps. If so there seems to be an error in the manual.

DEC may work or not, depending how your terminal will send your data. If he send CR+LF, this will screw your data for sure.

i've tried with

Command     var byte
SerialByte  var byte

hserout ["---- Ready ----",13,10]
Start:
        while 1
            if pir1.5 then
                hserin 10,jump,[Command, DEC3 SerialByte]
                gosub ManageBytes
                endif
            Jump:
            wend
        goto start

ManageBytes:
        hserout ["Command=",Command,_
                 "   SerialByte=", #SerialByte,13,10,13,10]
        return

And it's working just fine, with terminators (CR+LF) or not

depending of your Baudrate, 3.58 MHz may work fine or not. Worth to use the PicMultiCalc to see the error %
