Need Help With [ TX/RX ] For PIC16F628 - Please Look Into IT

pic16f628a tx

Hi There Friends

I obtained a picstar plus programer from microchip to program all my pic's for the score board project.

well here is my problem , i made an interface program using visual basic to give a serial output of 8 bits data with 9600 kbaud rate

in my pic i used the internal oscillator [ 4 mhz ], set the BRG =1 [ spbrg = 19h ]
set the tx and rx / but didnt work !!!

i tried doing an assambly code to recive the code form the pc, but it didnt work

so if any of you have a sample program of a pic16f628

for serial tx & rx please attach it here i need to see it so i can solv my problem

===============
at the end i thank you all of you for this nice helpfull forum and give a special thanks for those who read my problem and tried to solve it for me. thank you :|

serial communication with pic16f628 to vb6

this isint the one

i want to know haw to make the rx and tx of the pic 16f628 work

but thanks for trying to help me ! :wink:

pic16f628 serial port tx rx

Hola Ghassan,

Please show your code so someone could check for eventual errors. Anyway, I don't think using RC oscilator would be good enough.

Just three weeks ago, used the 16F877 (for USART, it is the same as your micro) and was really SIMPLE.

Do something for others to help you.

Okay Sir Here is my code, the wanted baud rate is 9600 this was just to test the chip if the rx program is working or not , i tested it on board but didnt work hope you can tell me whats the problem, thank you all of you

Hi !

Working with high baud rates and internal oscillators is not a good choice. The internal oscillator is not stable and accurate, so you are going to get high error baud rates, so the serial communication will not work properly. Try to configure the communications to lowest baud rate (150 or 300 bps can work with internal oscillator) to check if your routine is correct. If it works, the problem is for sure the oscillator. To work with high baud rates, you should use a crystal oscillator, much more stable and accurate.

Good luck.

at least can any one tell me if my program should work or not !! is my program all right or is it wrong ??

well as for the 4mhz internal oscillator l i will change it to find out but need some body to tell me if it is working

programming sample tx rx

Salam-o-Alikum!
Here is my code that i have successfully used with 4MHz external oscillator. Serial communication with the internal oscillator is not recommended.
The code is in C language but you can easily generate the assembly code.


void setup_usart(void)
{

TXSTA = 0X04;
RCSTA = 0X10;
SPBRG = 207;(decimal value)
SPEN = 1;//enable serial port
TXEN = 1;//enable_transmit
}
/**************************************************************/
char getch (void)
{
while(!RCIF)
{
}
RCIF = 0;
return(RCREG);
}
/***************************************************************/
void putch (char c)
{
TXREG = c;
DelayUs(100);
while(!TXIF)
{
}
TXIF = 0;
};

This code will establish a serial communication at 1200 baud rate.
I am also providing a free to download software for communication with the PIC.
Once the controller starts communicating with this software then you use your own software so that you are sure that at least one thing is working.
Another thing is that there is no need to define the special function registers as you have done in your code just include the relevant processor include file.

If you still find it difficult then donot hesitate to ask.

Allah hafiz.

Hi Waseem,

I have also problem decoding pulses. Please see my lately posted code under the topic "Measuring Pulse Width". It is a code that will decode 2 sets of pulses from a transmitter. If the code is correct, corresponding LED will light. Please look at it and need help on this. Thanks a lot...
