Hi,
Thanks a bunch Jerry. I will play with it and see how it works so I can better understand this process. This has been a good learning experience about Interrupts for me. Hopefully I will see charcters come in while the LED Blinks.

Hi, Ok I made a tweak to the code posted in the earlier message. I looked in ISSRX.bas for the Initialize routine and it does a Enable(OnRX) so I changed my ReadSerial event to match the name. It did not seem to make a difference. I think my RX Interrupt is not getting turned on, but I am unsure how...

Hi Jerry, I had a couple more questions if you had time to answer them. I went through my routine, and made the changes you pointed out. I now get the LED to blink as expected every 1 second. I also went back to the ISRRX routine using ReadSerial() from the examples I found previously. The part I do...

Hi,
Thanks a bunch for evaluating this for me and breaking it down. I will work through it and see where I get. I will try to stay on this horse and see where it takes me

Hi All, I am currently on a quest to get a simple timer working toggling a LED, and I ran across a wonderful piece of code written by Darryl Quinn that seems to do the job quite well. I did however run into a issue now when I try to add in a ISRRX module. It seems that if I leave in the ENABLE(ISR) ...

Hi Dave, Thanks for the input. I copied your code and modified it for my part and oscillator, and all I get now is a RED LED on all the time. This is a step in the right direction, but I was wondering if your LED toggles. I guess I am going to have to take baby steps till I can narrow down what is r...

Hi Guys, Thanks a bunch for the help. I made a few tweaks but still no LED toggle. I changed the code to turn on the red LED on the first timer interrupt and also to tuen on the green in 5 interruputs and hold them in this state. I still do not see LED's turn on. Any ideas ? This should not be this ...

Hi, I threw a simple test together after reading the examples everyone posted and what I could find elsewhere. Below is a simple program that is suppose to toggle the RED LED every second, and the GREEN LED every 5 Seconds. Any idea why I see no LEDS toggle ? Thanks Device = 18F25J10 // Setup the de...

Thanks a bunch Jerry. I will play with the software timer stuff and see if I can figure it out. Really all I need to do is run a counter in the background incremented off the timer, and compare it on timeout to a known value. If it matches then I can do something and start counting again. Waiting to...

Hi Jerry, Well thanks to all you and Jon's help I was able to finally RX packets and decode them. I figured out that besides my coding errors the data coming in was inverted probably since I am using RS-485 hardware to interface too. Anyway I wanted to ask if there was a simple timer0 routine out th...

Hi Jerry and Jon, Thanks a bunch for all the help. I just did not understand how the PICKIT2 unit worked. I guess I am also having a hard time understanding the UART interrupt stuff to. I will play with it this weekend and try not to bug you guys too much. Is is possible to also run a timer 0 interr...

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the input. I did not realize this was how the ISRRX routine worked. I will try to play with it and rearrange some stuff. The PICKIT2 connects to the 6 pin programming connector so I have to assume the software fetches the RX data on the RX pin and displays it in the UART tool. I...

Hi Jerry Below is the ISRRX routine. It gets called in the main code After it sets a packetflag I then use the If statement to verify the first few bytes are correct. The problem is I see the LED flashing indicating the ReadSerial() got called, but I never see any data in my PICKIT2 UART window, and...

Hi, Well I am stumped then. I can see the LED come on when a packet is received in the routine looking for 12 bytes in length, but when I try to compare the start of the packets with a constant it never matches. I thought I could use the PICKIT2 to view what it received, but that did not work out so...

Hi All,
It just dawned on me that the packet is stuffed into the buffer backwards since the (SdataSize - 1) decrements the byte counter. Am I right about the packets being stored backwards ? It still does not explain why I do not see anything on the RX pin using the PICKIT2 module. Any ideas ?
Thanks
