Hello everybody.
I've been looking a lot your forum which gave me a lot of help without the need of ask questions... all my problems where solved using 'Search'...
Now I think I need some guru help to solve my little problem.
I am trying to build a remote trasmitter wich will send SHT11 sensor data to my wireless station.
The modules I am using are this(TX):http://elmarpeters123.googlepages.com/TM1000-1.pdf
and this for RX (RM1SGS):http://e-madeincn.com/Product/Product-RXModule.htm
I've found them on ebay. They are very cheap. I paid 12€ for 3 pairs of them, shipping included!
I am writing some simple code to test them. The transmitter is a 12F683. Power pin is used to power up the transmitter via a transistor, will send data and then will be powered off for a minute to save battery.Here is the TX section:
Then there is the RX section, the pic used is a 16F876:Code:INCLUDE "modedefs.bas" ANSEL=0 CMCON0=%00000111 define osc 4 txpin var gpio.4 led var gpio.5 power var gpio.2 i var byte low power loop: for i=0 to 9 high power serout txpin,n2400,[$55,$55,$66,#i] high led pause 30 low led pause 1000 low power pause 1000 next i goto loop
The TX/RX modules work fine, If I monitor the rx pin of the receiver I get exactly what I send, with no garbage at all.Code:INCLUDE "modedefs.bas" define osc 20 Define LCD_LINES 4 ' Settings for a 4x20 LCD Define LCD_DREG PORTB ' 4bit mode Define LCD_DBIT 4 ' Define LCD_RSREG PORTB Define LCD_RSBIT 3 Define LCD_EREG PORTB' Define LCD_EBIT 2 'LCD Lines constants row4 con $d4 row3 con $94 row2 con $c0 row1 con $80 rxpin var portb.0 rx_data var byte TRISC=255 intcon=0 pause 500 lcdout $fe,1 lcdout $fe, row1, "** RX TEST **" pause 300 loop: serin rxpin,n2400,1000,loop,[$66],#rx_data lcdout $fe, row3,dec1 rx_data goto loop
Still on the rxpin set on the pic I get the same clean data.
Can somebody explain me why the PIC does not always print the correct data?
The amount of correct numbers recieved is about 60%.
I've tried with and without preambles, serin, serin2,hserin, but I always get the same results.
I repeat, connecting the rxpin to an rs232 everyhing's perfect. It seems the pic is not fast enough the get data! It has a 20Mhz clock with proper capacitors.
One more thing: The pic has all the sensors(18b20, SHT11, pressure, RTC) soldered around.
I'am trying to expand the initial project, adding a receiver.
Anyway, the code uses just the rxpin to catch data.
Thank you for your attention
Francesco
