#int_rda and Buffering + rs485
PostPosted: Fri Jun 11, 2010 2:40 pm     Reply with quote

Hi Friends...I'm new programmer and I have a problem with serial asynchronous communication between PC and PIC with rs485 driver (SN75176).
When I send a packet with SIO monitor to my PIC16F628A I do not get a valid packet ...??? Here is my code:
Code:

    /*

You need a method to debug your program. You need to find out what
is wrong with the packet.

I suggest that you add a software UART port, with a MAX232-type chip
and send debug information to a terminal window on the PC.
Or, you could add an LCD, and use that to display debug information.
But the terminal window method is better.

Then, after the packet is received, you can transmit the bytes to the
terminal window as Hex numbers by using printf with "%x".

Hi PCM Programmer..! Smile I'm using function "putc();" for debugging info, and I see a valid packet back, but
Code:
     
    if(get_packet(packet_buffer)) 
         {
               output_high (PIN_A2);                       // turn_on red_led
               output_low (PIN_A3);                        // turn_off green_led
               
            //   printf(" Valid Pecket \r\n\n");
         }             
         else 
         {
            output_high (PIN_A3);                          // turn_on green_led[i]
            output_low (PIN_A2);                           // turn_off red_led
         
           // printf(" Wrong Packet \r\n\n");
         }[/i]
                     
   }
 }

this function turn_on wrong green led (wrong packet) every time ?
I forget to post my compiler version. v.4.104

Change your packet reader, so you can see which of the branches causes the problem. Something like (first part only):
Code:

short get_packet(int * packet_ptr)
{
   short retval = TRUE;
   int CRC;

   packet_ptr[0] = get_buff_int();        //STX_PC 0xD2
   if(packet_ptr[0] != STX_PC) {
      retval = FALSE;
      putc ("stx");
   }     
       
   packet_ptr[1] = get_buff_int();             
   if(packet_ptr[1] != address) {         //addres_slave 0x01
      retval = FALSE;
      putc ("addr");
   }

This way you will only get the debug message 'back', when it goes to the condition causing the 'false', and you will see what is triggering this.

As a comment, are you sure the application sending the message, does not add a LF, or CR (or both) to the packet?. If so, these need to be dealt with, or the message will rarely align where you expect it in the buffer....

Best Wishes

#int_rda and Buffering + rs485
PostPosted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 6:04 am     Reply with quote

Hi. PCM,Ttelmah I found my problem, but I don't know how to do this:
1. My general problem is packets that receive is variable length and with circular buffering method and Func. get_packet(). Maybe is not True Way to receive different packets with variable length. Can you tell me what is the best method for using "#int_rda " and variable length packet receive ?
Thanks:)

You must design a protocol ( a series of rules/format a packet must follow).

I thought this kind of a protocol should do

Code:
|STX |Addr|LEN|COP|ACK/NAK|   data    |CRC_?? |ETX |


LEN indicates the length of data (payload only) that follows, you also need an array that could store the received data. LEN can be 1 byte long

So the packet would consist of a header, payload and a end of packet (EOP) part

Header size will be STX + Addr+ LEN+COP+ACK/NAK
Payload length is the total size of the data you wish to send.
EOP length is CRC bytes+ETX

The total size of the packet will be header size+payload size+EOP size

In the receive part of program all you need to do is to wait for ETX, then the address that will indicate if the packet is intended for the node, then the length of payload.

hi..Smile My packet structure is defined,, Problem is that on the same rs485 bus have other slave devices with diferent packet , but my function "get_packet ()" requirement minimum 8 bytes for checking ..
