| Printf used in dsPIC33f |

I used dsPIC33F want to print out:
| Quote: |
0 CrLf
1 CrLf
2 CrLf
3 CrLf
4 CrLf
A CrLf
|
The program like this
| Code: |
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
printf("%2x",i);
printf("\r\n");
}
printf("A");
|
But what I get from the PC are
| Quote: |
70 70 0D 0A 70 71 0D 0A 70 72 0D 0A 70 73 0D 0A 70 74 0D 0A 81 |
Is there something I missed? I am appreciate any help in advance. |

what size is i? int8? int16?
what does your CCS manual say about the %x printf format specifier?
what effect does the '2' have upon this specifier?

I have highlighted the CR/LF above.

I have highlighted variable "i" above.
What program are you using on the PC end?

Thanks for your response.
I did some changes:
| Code: |
#use rs232(baud=9600,xmit=pin_f5,rcv=pin_f4,bits=8,stop=1,parity=n)
unsigned int8 i=0;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
printf("%d",i);
printf("\r\n");
}
printf("How are you?");
|
But this time it still not right.
It shows on Hyper terminal,

there should be
| Quote: |

1

4
How are you? |

Check your manual... is "%d" used for signed int or unsigned int?

Do not use Hyperterminal for debugging serial problems -- it stinks. So download and install TeraTerm or other (good) serial terminal program. Ensure that the bits/parity/stop settings are the same at both ends. I think this is the root cause of your problem.

jds-pic is correct, you should be using %u but it shouldn't matter in this case.
The output you show would imply an incorrect baud, bits, parity settings between your PC/term prog and the pic or a hardware/cable problem, you have got RS232 driver chip on your circuit, haven't you?
70 shown in your first post is hex 0x70 = 'p' = 0b01110000 it should be 0x30 = '0' = 00110000 this matches your latest output with using %d to display the decimal value rather than the hex.
%d converts the number 0 to the char '0' and when output hyperterm is displaying 'p'.
More importantly, show your whole program, not just these little snippets!
And yes Hyperterminal is crap but it should still work for this. |

Yes.
A simple look, says '70' (hex), is the letter 'p'.
The number '0', is '30', so what the PC is seeing is the signal being high for three bit times (at RS232 levels), when it is only meant to be seeing two high bit times.
Implies baud, is either 50% slow at the PIC, or 50% fast at the PC (in fact, depending on the PC's 'sampling strategy', anything over perhaps 30% slow would give this).
Start simple. Do a basic 1 second LED flash program, and with a stopwatch, count thirty flashes. 30seconds?. If not, the crystal is wrong,or one of the fuse settings, so the PIC is not running at the speed required.

Thanks you guys.
According your guys analysis, I try so many way to find out what is going on there. Finally I make a 1 second led flash program as Ttelmah said. I found it was 1.07 seconds other than 1 second. So I try use chips internal clock then it works properly. So i think I need to change the crystal.
Thanks again. |

the clock variation that you document above (+7%) is outside the generally accepted RS232 frequency tolerance of +/-3%. some implementations will be more tolerant, some less so, but 3% is a good starting point.
