rs485_send_message function always return false
PostPosted: Sun Dec 14, 2014 6:56 am     Reply with quote

Hi all,
I am trying to communicate between 2 pic 18f4550 1 master & 1 slave via rs485.c using max485.
I can't figure out why "rs485_send_message" always returns false & no data received to the Slave. Here is my code:

MASTER:
Code:

#define RS485_RX_ENABLE    PIN_C5   // Controls RE pin.  Should keep low.

If anyone has any idea I would be greatful

hmm..
hardware....
I'd remove the 120r resistors labelled R1 and R2 in your schematic as they do not follow the RS485 bus requirements.
As a side note, usually pushbuttons/switches are 'active low' ( grounding is the active signal). though your way will work, it is more suseptable to noise/EMI causing false readings.At the very least add a small cap (say .1mfd) across the resistors to filter out some possible noise.


software....
not too sure if 9 bits for data is proper though I've never used the CCS supplied RS485 driver... is serial ISR should only read 8 bits from the UART...

others who use it should know....

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your response.
I have removed resistors R1 & R2 and 9 bits , but the same thing.
Has any one interfaced a communication pic to pic via rs485?

Thanks In Advance

Yes, I suspect hundreds of us.

I can see your problem. It is the use of C5, as the enable pin. This is one of the USB pins on your PIC. Look in the data sheet at the "PORTC I/O summary". Can this pin be used as a normal output?.....

It can only be used as a USB output or normal I/O input. It can't act as a normal output. Hence your enable pin never gets operated.

What is the purpose of R1 & R2? Is that a model of the worst case resistance of a long transmission line? If you wire is long enough to have 120 Ohms of DC resistance you will probably see a lot of reactance as well. What type of wire or cable are you modeling?

I don't think he was modelling anything.
I suspect the circuit is from a data sheet. One of the common chips has this in the sheet as the 'test' circuit, for simulating the drop with long lines.
