[PIC] Ttl to Rs232 level shifter

[Sheritronics]

I have been working on serial communication from a month but didn't got any success in making the circuit of Rs232/TTL I already had make two circuits when i tested them they are giving me loop back that my circuit is working but after connecting it to my Pic16f877a the circuit start giving the garbage values on hyper terminal either on Proteus I am totally confused what to do I am using baud rate of 9600 any suggestions...

Wrong PIC baudrate?

hello


Your hardware schematic seems OK
Did you try to reverse 2 & 3 pin PC side ?

Maybe the problem is PIC side ...
Show how you connect to the PIC pins..
and post you code to get help..

 

[FvM]

Pin 2 & 3 assignment is correct for PC male RS232 connector. I already checked this.

And there won't be garbage characters with RX/TX flipped.

 

[Sheritronics]

Yeah I had tried loop back the circuit is working...... tnx to all. bt is their any issue of crystal oscillator with this circuit I am using 12MHz crystal

Hi,

Worth double checking the 232 chip your are using.

If its a Maxim 232 then it should be as you show with 1uf caps, but if its the Max 232 A then they are 0.1uf

As said just post your code so we can view /simulate your code and see if thats the problem.

Is it a 12 MHz crystal?

I would start with a delay, otherwise the receiver might have problems if the sender resets into break state.

There seems to be no defined code to execute after one transmission sequence.

 

[Sheritronics]

yeah I am using 12MHz crystal

Any modifications in the code you can made so plz suggest me I have to show this as a project task in my university as soon as possible

Hi,

Was going to give you the working code until I saw your updated message, uni project, - thats going cost lots :-D


Well it would, if it was not just for one simple omission you had made, you left out the TXSTA instruction.

As you can see it apart from that it works fine.

Don't think that TXSTA must be set twice, but it doesn't hurt of course.

ooops! :lol::lol:

Yes it does work ok without 2 TXSTA instructions !

So can only assume the default 9600 VT has been changed or the 877a Processors Clock Frequency has not been Edited to 12mhz ?
