You should see it in UltraEdit with syntax highlighting. :D

Seriously though - thank you.

I'm reluctant to post code because I always look at it wondering if a professional would do it that way.

I usually avoid GOTOs, but I thought at the time it was a rare but nice fit.

As the years go by and I keep writing stuff -- especially Verilog for FPGAs, I've been formatting things a certain way that really helps me make code that's visually coherent in a way that I can quickly check a blob for mistakes.


Kinda weird how that works out.

Thanks again. Smile

      {
         OUTPUT_low(PIN_C3);
         delay_ms(300);
      }     
   }
}


I'm using 32MHz now with NOWDT.
I'm only are reading and record data from 'N,' so I'm not recording ',' and transfer with atoi() these data from buffer to an int8 var:
Code:
speed = atoi(buffer);
I think I can use this var speed in main program to turn HIGH or LOW PIN C3.
But it still always ON like before. Maybe I'm using data not so well, right? Or maybe I'm not read only data I need and can't convert with atoi()

Your example seems so clear for me and it is very similar with my purpose and I can not put my idea running :-(

Thank you for your help again.

One thing I saw is the value you put for character_counter, 4. This is too small. The idea is to count the number of characters AFTER you got $GPVTG and before you encounter 'N'. The format of the data is:
$GPVTG,0.00,T,,M,0.00,N,0.00,K,.... That means you have at least 17 characters before you see 'N', so character counter must be higher than that. But you changed the code, so that might not be the issue, because that counter doesn't count what was intended any more. What surely is a problem is this:

Code:

   // Inicialise Vars
   tmp = 0x00;
   Character_Counter = 0;
   next_in = 0; 


Every time you reach RDA_ISR you set next_in to 0, so I think you only write to the first location of the buffer. All starting values should be declared outside the interrupt. Also the plan with the flags was to only record the data inside ISR and then do the calculations in MAIN and only turn LED's on or off when you get new data. Do you use a debugger, to be able to see what is happening? The contents of the buffer, state variable, next_in and so on? There might also be a problem with NULL (or rather the lack of it) in the buffer. ATOI isn't happy without it at the end of the string. That one I missed in my original code.

Also case 15 is wrong. If it doesn't see 'N' as the first received character, it goes straight back to waiting for '$' (gsm_state gets reset to 0). You never reach case 16, even if all else works.

This should work. Once again, I can't test it, since I don't have a GPS module here. Please note output_toggle(PIN_C1); in state1. The LED should blink every time you get an '$' over the UART. Move this line to other states, so you can see if you even get there. The code was built for 18f46k22, so you'll need to add pin selects at the beginning and chanhe include main.h to whatever name you use for your project.

I can understand your frustration, by the way.

You could test it. Program a 2nd PIC to output a NMEA test stream
at a desired interval. Connect it to your first PIC and test.

Hi PrinceNai,

I follow your recommends, I use: output_toggle(PIN_C1); to see if I'm receiving the correct data, so I can see I have $, than try the same after receive 'G' in case 11 and nothing, LED not blinks.

I'm with PCMP about a 'controlled' test setup ! Though another PIC sending NMEA data will work, probably easier to use a PC running, say RealTerm, where you press a key and a 'script' (message) can be sent. This way KNOWN data can be sent and frankly easier to make it happen.

I also wonder if it's 'better' to receive the entire NMEA msg in the ISR, then have main() decode/parse ? Perhaps the 'data' is NOT what you expect. Getting the whole msg, then displaying it, would SHOW you what IS coming into the PIC. Maybe there's a flaw in the ISR decode logic
that would show up if you can SEE the incoming data.

Case 11 is a "case" problem. It should look for a capital 'P' :-( . Please change that. I whipped together another board to send out the message every second and will test the reception in the evening. I also added a bigger buffer in the beginning of the ISR to capture all the data that comes in.

That's what I did for my test-bed...

Except I used a PC and wrote something in TCL to just rattle out strings I wanted and then added lots of strings I didn't want normally found in the stream.

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/tclsh
#
#
# Commandline Args are:
#
# rate (bit rate) port (comm port)
#

set debug "0"

set com(bits)   "8"
set com(parity) "n"
set com(stop)   "1"


set stringlist   {
         "\$PMRRC01LR0"
         "\$PMRRC041KCMI"

So many stupid mistakes :-( . Anyway, I'm sending this string from my sender board with 19.200 baud: "$GPVTG,360.0,T,348.7,M,000.0,N,123.4,K*34\n"

I tested the sending PIC on a terminal and it does output that.

After correcting one oversight, the following code works. I get 123.4 in the buffer.

Code:

#include <main.h>

char tmp = 0;
int8 Nmea_State = 0;
int8 Dollar_Sign = 0;
int8 Character_Counter = 0;
int8 next_in = 0;
#define BUFFER_SIZE 8                       //create 16 byte large buffer
char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE];
int8 Got_Data = 0;

int8 Test_Buffer_Pointer = 0;
#define Test_Buffer_Size 64
char Test_Buffer[Test_Buffer_Size];

#INT_RDA
void  RDA_isr(void)
{
 tmp=getc();                      // get received char and thus also clear interrupt flag
 
      Test_Buffer[Test_Buffer_Pointer]= tmp;                  // move received char to the appropriate place in buffer.
      ++Test_Buffer_Pointer;                             // increment next_in pointer       
      if(Test_Buffer_Pointer == Test_Buffer_Size - 1) {       // prevent rollover. Numbering in the buffer begins with 0         
         Test_Buffer_Pointer = 0;
      }
// ............................................................................                                                                                 
// Process reception through state machine
// Possible data from NMEA module that will be handled is $GPVTG plus data
//
// Actions of this state machine are:
//                 
// Dollar_Sign = 1;            inform MAIN that we have an $
// Got_Data = 1;             inform MAIN we have some data to work on
// main is responsible to clear those flags

            Nmea_State = 1;               //expecting G

            Dollar_Sign = 1;              // inform main we have an $
        }                                     
         else {

         }
         break;         
            }

      case 1:{

               Nmea_State = 0;                  // abort, something went wrong
               Character_Counter = 0;           // 'N' didn't come in time
               next_in = 0;
            }           
         }
         break;         
      }
// don't record ',' in the buffer               
      case 16:  {
         if(tmp == ',' )   {                    // now get the data
            Nmea_State = 17;                   
      }   
         else{
            Nmea_State = 0;                      //error, reset state machine
         }
         break;           
               }     
     

      case 17:  {

         else{

            next_in = 0;                  // go to beginning of the data buffer
            delay_cycles(1);
            Got_Data = 1;                 // inform main we have the data
            Nmea_State = 0;                // reset state machine
            Test_Buffer_Pointer = 0;

}

void main()
{

   enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
   enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);

   while(TRUE)
   {
      if(Dollar_Sign){
         Dollar_Sign = 0;           // clear flag
// do one thing     
      }
      if(Got_Data){
         Got_Data = 0;              // clear flag
// do another thing           
      }

   }     // while true

}        // main


Now about my mistake. The code was rewritten from an existing GSM project. I changed the name of the switch statement for this, but never the name of the states (gsm_state, Nmea_State). Of course it came only till state 0.

I do have a question for the OP: How do you get your speed out of this info? Is the dot correctly positioned or does it output the data reversed?

Samo

This is what I found on the net for that answer:

$GPVTG

Track Made Good and Ground Speed.

eg1. $GPVTG,360.0,T,348.7,M,000.0,N,000.0,K*34
eg2. $GPVTG,054.7,T,034.4,M,005.5,N,010.2,K*48


054.7,T True course made good over ground, degrees
034.4,M Magnetic course made good over ground, degrees
005.5,N Ground speed, N=Knots
010.2,K Ground speed, K=Kilometers per hour


eg3. for NMEA 0183 version 3.00 active the Mode indicator field
is added at the end
$GPVTG,054.7,T,034.4,M,005.5,N,010.2,K,A*25
A Mode indicator (A=Autonomous, D=Differential,
E=Estimated, N=Data not valid)

If this is the correct format for the GPS output you get, you should change the limit of Data_Counter in state 15 to at least 25, otherwise you'll never see a 'N' in case 15. I already edited the code above to the last working one I have. Format of the message I found on the net is already taken into account. Also, if you'll do ATOI on the buffer, you'll only get the decimal representation of the part before the dot.

Samo
