Connecting two PIC16F84A using RS-232
PostPosted: Sat May 27, 2006 5:58 am     Reply with quote

Is it possible to connecto two 16f84a using the rs-232 protocol? I'm trying to do it but what I get is that there is no transmission/reception.
I want to use a single wire (in one pic as rx channel, in the other as tx channel).
Is there any place where I can find an example of this two PIC connection?

THANK YOU!
Humberto

You can do it connecting Tx pin of one PIC to the Rx pin of the other PIC directly.

Ever think that maybe your code might be the problem? Post what you have and make sure that you use the "Code" button.

This is the code, it is just a remote control for 10 channels. What I want that the Rx PIC copies exactly the channel configuration in the Tx PIC.

For the Rx PIC

Code:


#case
#include <16F84A.H>
#include <defs_f84.h>  // registers and bits
#include <STDLIB.H>



#fuses xt,nowdt,put,noprotect


#define RS232_XMIT   PIN_A1 //Pin de transmision
#define RS232_RCV   PIN_A1   // Pin de recepcion (sera el mismo que transmision)

#use delay(clock=4000000)   // 4 MHz OSC
#use rs232(baud=1200,xmit=NULL, rcv=RS232_RCV)


int canales[2];



void main(void) {

 
  trisa1=1; //Receiving Pin
  trisb0=0;
  trisb1=0;
  trisb2=0;
  trisb3=0;
  trisb4=0;
  trisb5=0;
  trisb6=0;
  trisb7=0;
  trisa2=0;
  trisa3=0;
  trisa0=0;

  //Setting Channels
  output_low(PIN_B7);
   output_low(PIN_B6);
   output_low(PIN_B5);
   output_low(PIN_B4);
   output_low(PIN_B3);
   output_low(PIN_B2);
   output_low(PIN_B1);
   output_low(PIN_B0);
   output_low(PIN_A3);
   output_low(PIN_A2);




  while(1){


   canales[0]=getchar();
   canales[1]=getchar();



      if(bit_test(canales[0], 0)){
         output_high(PIN_B7);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B7);

      if(bit_test(canales[0], 1)){
         output_high(PIN_B6);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B6);

      if(bit_test(canales[0], 2)){
         output_high(PIN_B5);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B5);

      if(bit_test(canales[0], 3)){
         output_high(PIN_B4);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B4);

      if(bit_test(canales[0], 4)){
         output_high(PIN_B3);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B3);

      if(bit_test(canales[0], 5)){
         output_high(PIN_B2);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B2);

      if(bit_test(canales[0], 6)){
         output_high(PIN_B1);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B1);

      if(bit_test(canales[0], 7)){
         output_high(PIN_B0);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_B0);

      if(bit_test(canales[1], 0)){
         output_high(PIN_A3);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_A3);

      if(bit_test(canales[1], 1)){
       output_high(PIN_A2);
      }
      else output_low(PIN_A2);

      delay_ms(15);



   }





} // end of main







For the TX PIC:

Code:


#case
#include <16F84A.H>
#include <defs_f84.h>  // registers and bits
#include <STDLIB.H>



#fuses xt,nowdt,put,noprotect


#define RS232_XMIT   PIN_A1 //Transmitter pin
#define RS232_RCV   PIN_A0   

#use delay(clock=4000000)   // 4 MHz OSC
#use rs232(baud=1200, xmit=RS232_XMIT, rcv=NULL)

int canales0;
int canales1;



void read_ch(void){


if (input(PIN_A2)){
bit_set(canales1,1);
}
if (input(PIN_A3)){
bit_set(canales1,0);
}
if (input(PIN_B0)){
bit_set(canales0,7);
}
if (input(PIN_B1)){
bit_set(canales0,6);
}
if (input(PIN_B2)){
bit_set(canales0,5);
}
if (input(PIN_B3)){
bit_set(canales0,4);
}
if (input(PIN_B4)){
bit_set(canales0,3);
}
if (input(PIN_B5)){
bit_set(canales0,2);
}
if (input(PIN_B6)){
bit_set(canales0,1);
}
if (input(PIN_B7)){
bit_set(canales0,0);
}


}


void send_data(void) {

putchar(canales0);
delay_ms(50);
putchar(canales1);

}


void main(void) {

 
  trisa1=0; //tx pin
  trisb0=1;   // channels
  trisb1=1;
  trisb2=1;
  trisb3=1;
  trisb4=1;
  trisb5=1;
  trisb6=1;
  trisb7=1;
  trisa1=1;
  trisa2=1;
  trisa3=1;
 
  while(1){

  read_ch();
  send_data();
  delay_ms(100);


  }

} // end of main



The data will only travel from Tx to Rx, this means that no feedback from the receptor is needed in the transmitter for the application in order to work.

THANKS!!!

In the FAQ is this:

This method is truly "one wire" ...
