USART Functions: (Page # 70)
This library consists of several functions that can be used to configure and use the USART module of PIC18. The USART library consists of the following functions. The functions containing an x are used when there are multiple USARTs on a chip, x stands for the USART number.
OpenUSART(arguments)/ OpenxUSART(arguments)
This function is used to configure the USART module.
WriteUSART(arguments)/WritexUSART and putcUSART(arguments)/putcxUSART(arguments)
These functions are used to write a single byte to the USART.
putsUSART(arguments)/putsxUSART and putrsUSART(arguments)/putrsxUSART(arguments)
These two functions are used to send strings to the USART. The putrsUSART/ putrsxUSART function requires that the string be stored in program memory.
BusyUSART()/ BusyxUSART()
This function is used to check whether the USART is busy with an ongoing transmission.
DataRdyUSART()/DataRdyxUSART()
This function is used to check whether there is any data available in the USARTs read buffer.
getcUSART()/getcxUSART() and ReadUSART()/ReadxUSART()
These functions are used to read a byte from the USARTs read buffer.
baudUSART(arguments)/ baudxUSART(arguments)
These functions are used to change the baud settings of an enhanced USART.
CloseUSART()/ClosexUSART()
This function is used to disable the USART.
Here is the code:
Code
//This is a program that displays the use of EUSART with
//Microchips Libraries.It simply sends "Hello World!" after
//"S" is sent from the PC.BR=4800,No Parity,1 Stop Bit
//The EUSART Section is documented on P#70 of C18 Libraries
//Use 181320Basic.DSN
/****************************************************************/
//For Baud Rate calculation refer to Page 137 of datasheet
//Baud Rate=Fosc/[64(n+1)], n=value of SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair
//For a Baud Rate of 4800, we need to find value of SPBRGH:SPBRG register pair
//SPBRGH:SPBRG=((FOSC/Desired Baud Rate)/64) – 1
// =((4Mhz/4800)/64)-1
// =(833.33/64)-1
// =13.02-1
// =12.02~12
//SPBRGH:SPBRG=12
