| PIC24FJ32GU205 2nd UART will not receive |

Hi All,
I am implementing two HW UARTs on my PIC24FJ32GU205. The first UART (UART1) assigned to pins A10/B13(TX/RX) works fine in both directions but the second one (UART2) assigned to pins B9/B8(TX/RX) works only on TX but will not receive.
I checked that TTL incoming RX waveforms (using oscilloscope) are good on B8 pin when I press keys on my Teraterm console. As an experiment, I repurposed B8 as an input pin (to check HW is ok internally), and it can see toggling of the line (when pressing key on my TeraTerm console) so I know the input buffer is working. So now it's a question of why the second RX line is not clocking in characters.
I can see that somehow the UART2 RX buffer is tricked into thinking a byte or start of byte transfer has begun even when I'm not pressing any keys on my teraTerm console because if I add an "output_high(outPINA2);" line after the "fputc(selection, PORT2);" code, it will drive outPINA2 high, which means the UART2 RX buffer thinks a character did come in but I can clearly see on the scope that pin B8(UART2 RX) is high - never toggles low. However, if I press "p" nothing happens in my switch statement - so it's not receiving characters sent from my console.
Here are some snippets of the source and include files pertinent to the UARTS. I did not add any UART1 code because I'm testing one at a time. Would you kindly point out what I'm doing wrong.
I am not doing anything with USB - later I plan on working on that after I resolve this UART2 RX issue.
Main C code:
| Code: |
#include <twoUARTS.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void displayMenu();
void main()
{
char selection;
//PORT A PULL-DOWNS
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_A2);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_A3);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_A9);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_A11);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_A12);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_A13);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_A14);
//PORT B PULL-UP/DOWNS
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_B5);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_B7);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_B14);
set_pullup(TRUE, PIN_B15);
//PORT C PULL-DOWNS
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C0);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C1);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C4);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C5);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C6);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C7);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C8);
set_pulldown(TRUE, PIN_C9);
setup_wdt(WDT_1S);
displayMenu();
do{
do{
restart_wdt();
selection = fgetc(PORT2);
fputc(selection, PORT2);
}
while((selection!='p') && (selection!='c') && (selection!='v') && (selection!='P') &&
(selection!='U') && (selection!='t') && (selection!='i') && (selection!='e') &&
(selection!='g') && (selection!='o') && (selection!='d') && (selection!='u') &&
(selection!='D') && (selection!='L') && (selection!='I') && (selection!='?'));
if(selection == 'p')
{
fprintf(PORT2,"\r\n");
fprintf(PORT2, "Enter resistor value (1=1K, 2=2K, 3=3K, 4=4K, 5=5K 6=OFF: \r\n");
.
.
***More switch statements here but not including them as they are not pertinent***
.
.
void displayMenu(){
restart_wdt();
fprintf(PORT2, "\r\n");
fprintf(PORT2, " ______________________________________________ \r\n");
fprintf(PORT2, "| ***Control Menu*** |\r\n");
fprintf(PORT2, "|----------------------------------------------|\r\n");
fprintf(PORT2, "|p. Enter resistor value |\r\n");
restart_wdt();
fprintf(PORT2 "Enter Selection>");
return;
}

While I don't use that PIC ...
I'd....
1) get RID of the WDT. NOT needed.
2) cut a simple 'loopback' program.. press key on PC ,goes to PIC, PIC sends it back to PC, PC displays on screen. Nothing 'fancy', a simple basic program.
If that doesn't work, post it |

Get rid of #use FIXED_IO until you have things working.
Post your complier version. |

Hi Temtronic,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I simplified the code and removed the WDT.
I still can not see characters looped back to console.
I also tested with the same code below on UART1 and I can see characters on that port bouncing back to console.
Here's the new code:
| Code: |
#include <twoUARTS.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void displayMenu();
void main()
{
char selection;
do{
fprintf(PORT2, "Press Key>");
selection = fgetc(PORT2);
fputc(selection, PORT2);
}
while(TRUE);
} |

Hi gaugeguy,
I've used fixedio for years without issues. I don't think that is contributing to this issue as I have tested it out on UART1 and it's working fine. The issue is with UART2 RX pin B8.
For s***s and giggles I removed the #use fixedio lines but still, no RX characters are appearing on B8. |

I tried posting this twice and it's not appearing on the forum. Wonder if server's down or I had something on my post that was flagged.
Lets try it one more time.
Temtronic:
I noticed on pin list (page 16 of spec) that RP8 is not in bold text. Note 1 says RPn and RPIN represent mappable pins for PPS functions. Could it be that I chose a non mappable PPS pin and this is why RX on UART2 is not working? |

Problem Resolved!!
RB8 was not a mappable PPS pin so I couldn't route UART2 RX internally to that pin.
I just swapped pins with RB7 and now I see characters rolling up into UART2.
You can close this ticket now.
Thanks. |

NICE, it works.....
I've seen it before... the 'illusion' that PPS means ANY peripheral can be mapped to ANY pin...
..sometimes it does pay to read some of the 700-800 pages of the 'datasheet'. |

I try to get away without reading the spec as much as possible but it's always those mundane details like PPS assignments that get me.
One of these days when I can't go to sleep I'm going to read up on a few chapters of the PIC24FJ data sheet... |

I would point this out to CCS. Normally the compiler will give a warning
if you try to use a pin that is not supported,
Classically annoying!... |

re: Classically annoying!...
gee, anyone remember waiting 15 MINUTES to erase PICs ??? |

Remember it more with other processors. Still have an eraser somewhere.
Even with half a dozen chips, you always seemed to be waiting for one
to erase. |

| I remember those days where you had to whip out the UV eraser.... How far we've come yet we still want it faster and are never really satisfied. |

I'd rather go BACK to say WIN98 days. the last version of OS that gave YOU control over the REAL comports and had true interrupts on them.
I'd also like to meet the 'genius' that decided that pins 2 and 3 of the 25 pin comports were reversed when the 9 pin came out....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Also like to know why I can't run my QB45 programs on my PC,sniff,sniff
guess I'm a 'grumpysaurus'........
