Hi to all,

i am trying to transmit the Data from PIC16F877A to PC using serial communication with following code.

the problem is i am facing is the message "HELLO TECHNOLOGY" is receiving continuously
anyone help me so that it should send the message only once.....

Complier used is HI-TECH complier.

The possible reason of this may be that, you haven't turned off your watch dog timer..
If you have not turned of your watch dog timer off then turn it off.
It will solve the problem.

i have turned off the watch dog timer...........
plz help me........

You do not appear to have the correct value for Configuration Register setting.

How are you obtaining the value of 0x1f3a?

For a PIC16F877A the first digit can only be either a 0 or 2, not 1.

Have you mistakenly referred to the PIC16F877 datasheet, as it is not the same as PIC16F877A datasheet?

I would strongly recommend you use the predefined macros to set the Configuration Register.

Replace this:

Code:

__CONFIG(0x2F0A);

With this:

Code:

__CONFIG(FOSC_HS & WDTE_OFF & PWRTE_ON & BOREN_OFF & LVP_OFF & CPD_OFF & WRT_OFF & DEBUG_ON & CP_OFF);

The predefined Configuration Register bitmasks are available in the device specific header file, in this case pic16f877a.h.

Code:

#ifndef	_HTC_H_
#warning Header file pic16f877a.h included directly. Use #include <htc.h> instead.
#endif

/* header file for the MICROCHIP PIC microcontroller
 *  16F877A
 */


#ifndef __PIC16F877A_H
#define __PIC16F877A_H

#define CP_ON                0xDFFF

Also you no longer need:

Code:

#include<pic.h>

Just:

Code:

#include<htc.h>

i have load the Configuration register with 0x2f0a valve, but the still the problem is not solved.................

I managed to compile the following version of your code and execute it on a PIC16F877A, the output was a single non repetitive line:

Therefore the issue does not appear to be code based.

Perhaps the issue is due to a power supply, EMI or other hardware related cause.

Have you utilized an appropriate bypass capacitor between Vdd (5V) and Vss (GND) as close to the PIC pins as possible?

Can you post a schematic of the actual circuit?

here is the schematic of the circuit ......

bigdogguru · Oct 13, 2012

You need bypass capacitors, 0.1uF is a common value, between Vdd and Vss as close to the PIC as possible.

Is the power supply well regulated?

Power supply circuit is fine..........
