some time i startup my pic 16f876a it work without follow the instruction! I used serial port to send data to it and some time it repeat about 3 times. please help my knowledge is limited.
 

Maybe you have enabled WDT (Watch Dog Timer) but not clearing the WDT and maybe this is causing the PIC to reset and restart repeatedly and causing the Serial printing to be done more than one time or maybe stack is overflowing and causing the PIC to reset and restart.
 

I don't know exactly but this is my code:
Code:
char  receive[64] ;
void main(){
int x;
int i=0;
TRISA=0X00;
TRISB=0XFF;
TRISC=0X80;
PORTC=0X00;
PORTA=0X00;
PORTB=0X00;
UART1_INIT(9600);
delay_ms(100);
while(1){
if(Uart1_data_ready()==1){
uart1_read_text(receive,'F',65);
for(i=0;i<64;i++){
  switch(receive[i]){
      case'1': x=1; break;
      case'0': x=0; break;
  }
 PORTA=x;
 delay_ms(50);
 PORTA=0X00;
 delay_ms(50);
}
   uart1_write('F');
} // end if

}  // end while

}// end main
 

it work without follow the instruction
Means exactly what?

read1_uart_text() may be waiting endlessly for serial data that never comes. Which data is send to the serial input? Char array receive is too small and can overflow, by the way.
 

I wanted to send string code such as binary code to pic and pic will execute if it receive 1 in each block array. I am doing this in purpose to hake CNC 2 axis the binary 1 is the coordinate write.
Please give me more advise!
 

Hi,

Where is your configuration bits initialisation. Can you share that.

Amit
 

what is the configuration bit ? what do you mean? mikroc or VB?
 

Hi,

If you are using MPLAB, you will see in the bottom of the window.

Check whether WDT is enabled?



Amit
 

It is enabled. Anyway, this code is a bad example of working with UART. Don't share it ))))
 

Or one can also use circular buffer using USART interrupt, it is much more easy than polling for UART_data ready.

Hi johnny,

Try using this code:

Code:
unsigned short q=0;

void interrupt()
{
if(PIR1.RCIF==1)
{
receive[q]=UART1_Read();//copy byte by byte in receive
q++;
}
}

char  receive[64] ;
void main(){
int x;
int i=0;
TRISA=0X00;
TRISB=0XFF;
TRISC=0X80;
PORTC=0X00;
PORTA=0X00;
PORTB=0X00;
UART1_INIT(9600);
RCIE_bit=1;
INTCON.GIE=1;
PIE1_bit=1;
delay_ms(100);
while(1){

if(q>64)q=0;

if(receive[0]=='0')
{
x=0;
q=0;//resetting q to 0
}

if(receive[1]=='1')
{
x=1;
q=0;
}

 PORTA=x;
 delay_ms(50);
 PORTA=0X00;
 delay_ms(50);
}
   uart1_write('F');
} // end if

}  // end while
 

I used MikroC

it can not compile in PIE1_bit=1;

what's the problem?

Zip and post the complete mikroC project file. I have to see the project settings.
 

The configuration shows WDT disabled. So everything is inside the shown code.

hi johnny,
Oh, I am sorry it was a typo.try using as easyrider83 suggested, or edit that line with PEIE_bit=1; now it should compile and work. I also use MikroC.
 

what is easyrider83 ?

I really don't understand, my setting is the same as shown but it still doesn't work.
