pic Serial communication

[shahzaib198]

Well Can any one tell me how to make a Serial Communication with
pic16f84a? I know many will answer it as that it does not have the capability but how to  create that. Pls tell me the code in Microbasic or Micro C

I know how to connect max232 with 16f84

help me how to set baud rate in Micro basic or Micro C

thanks in Advance

Hi
it is easy to use the soft UART, simply read the help file and u'll find very simple.
any way here is a sample code copied from the manual, hope that helps


program soft_uart_test
dim received_byte, er as byte

main:
  Soft_Uart_Init(PORTB, 1, 2, 4800, 0)    ' Initialize soft UART
  while true
    do
      received_byte = Soft_Uart_Read(er)  ' Read received data
    loop until er = 0
    Soft_Uart_Write(received_byte)        ' Send data via UART
  wend
end.

Regards

This will get u started.I used pic basic pro to program & used easy PIC 4 dev system.


' PicBasic Pro program to send and receive from the hardware serial port
'used comm1 seetings of 8N1 with flow control= none,cable used was provided by mikroelektronika.
'jumber settings on board were RC7=Rx (jp7) & RC6=Tx (jp8)
DEFINE      OSC 8
Define  LCD_DREG        PORTD   ' Define LCD connections
Define  LCD_DBIT        4
Define  LCD_RSREG       PORTD
Define  LCD_RSBIT       2
Define  LCD_EREG       PORTD
Define  LCD_EBIT        3

DEFINE HSER_BAUD 2400

'DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 51 

'DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1

        SPBRG = 51                      ' Set baud rate to 2400
        RCSTA = %10010000             ' Enable serial continuous receive
        TXSTA = %00100000             ' Enable transmit asynchronous mode
       

char   var   byte      ' Storage for serial character
'char="a"

loop:   Hserout ["Hello World", 13, 10]   ' Send text followed by carriage return and linefeed

   Hserin [char]   ' Get a char from serial port

   Hserout [char]      ' Send char out serial port
lcdout $fe, $80, "RECEIVE = ", char
   Goto loop      ' Do it all over again

hi hell_pk
your code is fine, but it uses a hardware serial witch the 16f84 does not have, so software UART must be used in this case

Yes. Try to use something like 16F628 with the same pinout.

You can use Interruptdriven SoftUart code from my PIC Serial Sniffer project:
