Serout (send data)

transmits a byte or string of bytes serially at 300 to 2400 bps (4 MHz clock).

Serout lets a PIC application transmit data to another PIC or any computer equipped with an RS-232 serial port.

If you have not already done so, please read the discussion in paragraph two of the first Serin entry (page 74) on the meaning of "polarity" as it applies to these serial routines.

When you want to connect the PIC's serial output directly to a computer without a line driver, use inverted polarity. Even though the voltage swing isn't legal RS-232, this will generally work, provided cables are kept short.

To use Serout, put the desired pin into the stop-bit state (0 for inverted output, 1 for true) and make the pin an output. This will prevent sending a false start bit to the receiver.

Next, create a string of the bytes you want to transmit at the location labeled buffer. Store the number of bytes at buffer, the first byte at buffer-1, the second byte at buffer-2, and so on.

Specify the baud rate by moving one of the constants B300 through B2400 into the variable baud. Specify the sense by setting or clearing the polarity bit (0 = true, 1 = inverted). Put the pin number into pin and the port number into port. Call Serout. The routine will automatically send each byte of the string.

When Serout returns, the data starting at buffer-1 will be intact, but the count (at buffer) will have been cleared to 0.

Note that Serout permits your program to make a serious mistake; If the count at buffer is 0 when Serout is called, the routine will attempt to send 256 bytes of data. It will alter ports and control registers in the lower seven or eight bytes of RAM. Make sure that buffer contains the correct count before calling Serout.

If your application requires sending a number out the serial port as a text string, see the next entry, Serout (format # data). It converts a 16-bit value into a Serout string with an optional fixed decimal point.

Note that this version of Serout does not support the open-drain/open-source capabilities of the PBASIC version. Those require manipulation of the TRIS register, which we've avoided in this series of subroutines.

Serout can transmit serial data through any pin of any I/O port, and can change port and pin assignments while the program is running. In many applications, it's enough to assign one pin for serial output and leave it at that. The disk that accompanies this book contains stripped versions of Serout for such applications. The advantage is that they use less program memory than the routine listed here. Check the files SEROUT_2.SRC and SEROUT_3.SRC on the accompanying disk.

Serout, like the other routines that accept pin and port arguments, requires the short table Pinz. Remember that tables and subroutines must be located in the first 256 words of a 512-word program memory page.

Demonstrating Serout.

To see Serout in operation, connect the circuit below to an erasable PIC or PIC emulator, such as the Parallax downloader. Assemble and run SEROUT.SRC. Make sure to use a 4-MHz clock on the PIC or downloader. Load a terminal program on the PC connected to the PIC and set it for 2400 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit (N81). When you apply power to the PIC or reset the downloader, the letters "OK" will appear on the PC screen.

; SEROUT port (in w), pin, baud, polarity, data
; Transmits data serially at the specified rate and polarity out the specified port
; pin. Data bytes to be transmitted must be arranged in memory starting at the
; address "buffer-1" and working downward (e.g., 30,29,28...). The number of
; bytes to transmit must be stored at the address labeled "buffer." A companion
; routine, BIN_ASC, converts 16-bit numbers to this form, optionally adding a
; decimal point. See the listing for Serout ...(format # data).
; Serout uses the common data format of no parity, 8 data
; bits, 1 stop bit (N81).
