hserin

[jcleaver]

when i purchased pbp it was because it was simple to use and did not require
master in programming or microchip documentation or much assembly
that has not been the case with what i have done so for
read the pic manual pg 113 which talks about this
all i wanted was a description of how the pins for this were labled
so i coulkd test this part of the pbp manual

guess i am over my head again do not see descriptors
i know there are pin liabled rx and tx but these are being used to connect to mcs

I was just trying to learn you something so you could figure other stuff out in the future...
HSERIN = receiving serial data = USART receiver = RX
HSEROUT = transmitting serial data = USART transmitter = TX
If the RX and TX on your particular chip in your particular system are already being used by something else, such as the MCS (which is what?), then you probably can't use HSERIN/HSEROUT without circuit mod's.

i know and i appreicate that however just at the begining stage and only a hobby
so just trying to get some experience with pbp not pics
mcs is microstudio plus

does this pic have hserout2???

[jcleaver]

i guess my main problem is i am trying to get data to a serial lcd driver
and cant get it to work even though there seems to be data from the pic
thats why i wanterd to try the various commands for serout to get this working this seems to be a tough area for me

thanks

Questions for Jack:
Why do you want to use HSERIN, HSEROUT? Do you know why they are not Serin and Serout? Or HSERIN2? HSEROUT 2?The masked man wants you to know those things that is why he keeps pushing the manual to you. See then you can ask questions which makes everyone's brain hurt, that is why we all do this, it's for the pain

no pain no gain

the problem is i am unable to get a serial lcd driver to function

tried many many different things still nothing
thought different commands would inprove nothing seems to work

even though i am getting something (scope) out of the pic

tried all the serial commands and different bauds ebven thought the device states 9600 8 n 1
device did work using basic stamp instructions

Why not post your schematic and some of your code so that we can be more help. Just telling us that you have tried lots of different things with no success doesn't give anyone a starting point to help you.

It's not a basic stamp, while a stamp is a pic. HUH? WHATS THAT?
PBP will program a stamp, but pics not always the same, little differences.
Hserin will not accept N9600, has to be true.
Serin wil accept N9600. Hserin will accept charactors incomming while pic is busy running subroutines, serin will not. Do a search for serial backpacks on this forum, this subject has been addressed. look at the code in my post on this subject after Darrel did his magic on it. It's sweet, uses hserin, DT instant interrupts and formats the same way as LCDOUT does. It is pretty well commented so you can learn how it works and change it to suit you.

if you just want a serial in parallel out
try

include "modedefs.bas"
pause 500
char var byte
Lcdout $fe, 1, "RTFM"
pause 1000
LOOP:
serin Portb.0, n9600, char
LCDOUT char
goto loop

What does the datasheet say as far as the number of USARTs (also reference the PBP manual, page 78, 2nd paragraph)?

I understand you're trying to get experience with MCS/PBP and not PICs, but what is MCS/PBP without a PIC? Just an expensive text editor...
