UART Receiving in LPC1768 - c

The uart_Rx() receives a character and stores it in a local variable and at the end return that local variable to the function. I have used the timer to control the execution time.
The new problem which I am facing is that my UART is not able to change baud rates as soon as a break is appeared in the loop.
Following is my code to read character.
Please advise if I am doing anything wrong.
char read()
{
flag0=0;
timer0_init();
timer_count =0;
uart_rxChar();
while(1)
{
if(timer_count<300)
{
if(uart_RxChar()>=97 && uart_RxChar()<=122)
{
uart_TxChar('k');
if(timer_count>=299)
{
LPC_GPIO2->FIOCLR=1<<13;
Glow_GreenLED();
delay_ms(100);
flag0 = 1;
}
else
{
Glow_RedLED();
LPC_GPIO2->FIOCLR = 1<<8;
break;
}
}
else if(timer_count>300)
{
LPC_GPIO2->FIOCLR = 1<<8;
Glow_RedLED();
delay_ms(100);
LPC_GPIO2->FIOCLR = 1<<13;
break;
}
}
}
//UART Receiving Function
char uart_RxChar()
{
while(util_IsBitCleared(LPC_UART0->LSR, SBIT_RBR)); //Wait till data is
received
char data = LPC_UART0->RBR;
return data;
}

Implementing state machine to read-write data in data flash

I am trying to implement a state machine to read and write data to a 128K x 8 data flash.
I am planning to have the following states in the state machine:-
typedef enum DATA_FLASH_TASK_LIST
{
IDLE = 0;
INIT,
READ,
WRITE,
VERIFY
}
The state machine function will look like this:-
//dataflash.c file
//Global variable to keep track of data flash tasks
DATA_FLASH_TASK_LIST Current_DataFlash_Task = IDLE;
void DataFlashStateMachine()
{
switch(Current_DataFlash_Task)
{
case IDLE:
{
//Wait for other tasks
Current_DataFlash_Task = IDLE;
}
break;
case INIT:
{
//Erase and initialize the data flash
Current_DataFlash_Task = IDLE;
}
break;
case READ:
{
//Call a function to read contents of data flash
//Address and length of data will be updated in global variables
//Read_Data(data, address, length);
Current_DataFlash_Task = VERIFY;
}
break;
case WRITE:
{
//Call a function to write contents to data flash
//Write_Data(data, address, length);
Current_DataFlash_Task = VERIFY;
}
break;
case VERIFY:
{
//Call a function to compare and verify the read/write data
Current_DataFlash_Task = IDLE
}
break;
}
//Function to check current data flash task
DATA_FLASH_TASK_LIST GetCurrentTask()
{
return Current_DataFlash_Task;
}
//Function to set new data flash task
void SetCurrentTask(DATA_FLASH_TASK_LIST New_DataFlash_Task)
{
Current_DataFlash_Task = New_DataFlash_Task;
}
//main.c file
int address;
int length;
unsigned char *data;
int main()
{
.
.
.
.
.
while(1)
{
//Continously poll the data flash state machine
DataFlashStateMachine();
}
}
//handle_events.c file
void handle_events()
{
//Write data
ifGetCurrentTask() == IDLE)
address = 0x8000;
data_length = 500;
SetCurrentTask(WRITE);
//Read data
ifGetCurrentTask() == IDLE)
address = 0x8000;
data_length = 500;
SetCurrentTask(READ);
}
I need help with the following questions:
In hanlde_events(), how to know if the read and write operations are completed? Should i implement global flags which return SUCCESS/FAILURE from the DataFlashStateMachine() function? If yes, how do i handle these flags?
Is there a better way of handling these operations?

How to continually print output inside a switch statement?

I have been trying to continually print the PWM output of pin 3 inside the switch statement condition but it only prints once. Can I continually print it in serial monitor until it meets the second conditon? or use a while loop? or a if else ?
Here is my code I also have a code with a similar function but it uses if else but still it only prints once
void loop() {
// if there's any serial available, read it:
while (Serial.available() > 0) {
int InitVal = Serial.parseInt();
int red = Serial.parseInt();
switch(InitVal) {
case 1:
if (Serial.read() == '\n') {
analogWrite(redPin, red);
Serial.println(red);
Serial.write(red);
}
break;
case 0:
analogWrite(redPin, 0);
Serial.println(0);
Serial.write(0);
break;
}
}
}
I'am planning to inter-phase this with a GUI . A GUI sends ascii to the arduino reads it then sends the output value to the GUI.
Example
1.GUI sends [1,123] : 1 = the trigger point for the switch statement ; 123 = PWM value.
Arduino receives instructions and it prints out the pwm value
GUI receives pwm value and displays it
Revised code: Stuck at the last while loop maybe i could use a threading function in arduino so that the last while loop would be satisfied/dissatisfied?
void loop() {
int InitVal = 0;
// if there's any serial available, read it:
while (Serial.available() > 0) {
int InitVal = Serial.parseInt();
int red = Serial.parseInt();
switch(InitVal) {
case 1:
if (Serial.read() == '\n') {
InitVal = 1;
//analogWrite(redPin, red);
//Serial.println(red);
// Serial.write(red);
}
break;
case 0:
InitVal = 0;
//analogWrite(redPin, 0);
//Serial.println(0);
//Serial.write(0);
break;
}
if (InitVal) /* when enabled, blink leds */ {
delay(20);
while (InitVal == 1) /* loop forever */{
Serial.println(red);
Serial.write(red);
delay(20);
}
}
}
}
I discarded Serial.parseInt() function, removed the switch statments and followed #Arno Bozo advise on serial listening while following this tutorial on http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=396450.0
I came up with what I want and here is the code
const int redPin = 3;
const byte numChars = 32;
char receivedChars[numChars];
char tempChars[numChars]; // temporary array for use when parsing
// variables to hold the parsed data
boolean newData = false;
int InitVal = 0; // change to init value or red
int red = 0;
void setup() {
// initialize serial:
Serial.begin(9600);
// make the pins outputs:
pinMode(redPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
recvWithStartEndMarkers();
if (newData == true) {
strcpy(tempChars, receivedChars);
// this temporary copy is necessary to protect the original data
// because strtok() used in parseData() replaces the commas with \0
parseData();
One();
newData = false;
}
else {
Zero();
}
}
///////////////////// ///////////////////// /////////////////////
void recvWithStartEndMarkers() {
static boolean recvInProgress = false;

rc = Serial.read();
if (recvInProgress == true) {
if (rc != endMarker) {
receivedChars[ndx] = rc;
ndx++;
if (ndx >= numChars) {
ndx = numChars - 1;
}
}
else {
receivedChars[ndx] = '\0'; // terminate the string
recvInProgress = false;
ndx = 0;
newData = true;
}
}
else if (rc == startMarker) {
recvInProgress = true;
}
}
}
///////////////////// ///////////////////// /////////////////////

In Summary the code works like this
1.In serial monitor send this <1,123> : 1 = the trigger point for the switch statement ; 123 = PWM value.
Arduino receives instructions and it prints out the pwm value
If you send <0,123> it prints a zero once
I post a refined code here. The architecture may be reused for serial treatment. I have written it as an example for people I meet and who are learning with arduino.
I have made comments and explanation of ways to avoid delay. Here it is used to print current value of pwm every 1s, without stopping with a delay(1000).
#include <Arduino.h>
// with schedule(f,i) , the function f() will be called every i ms
// schedule(f,i) lines are put in loop() function
// f is of type void f(void)
#define schedule(f,i) {static unsigned long l=0;unsigned long c=millis();if((unsigned long)(c-l)>=i){l=c;f();}}

USART crashes on PIC18F2550, What can I do?

I'm working in the communication of a PIC18F4550 and the PC with a pair of xBEE S2C. And
I am using xc8 to compile the code.
I send some characters to the PIC from the PC with an Xbee then I send a '/r', and the PIC has to return me the characters that I sent.
It works for 9 iterations, then it crashes. The image shows the
Serial Console (red characters are the response of the PIC).
I´ve tried resetting the EUSART but this doesn´t seem to work. Always fails at the 9th iteration. I´ve read some posts of OERR and I tried a lot of things but nothing has solved my problem.
EDIT: ***NOTE: This Error presents if the transmit interval of the package is
less than 1500 ms. And I need to transmit at least every 300ms.
Someone has an idea of what could it be?
Thanks

You are not using the "volatile" keyword anywhere although you are modifying some globals inside the ISR and using them outside.

how can I escape from main while loop(C programming)?

I am trying to escape from the main loop if external stop key is pressed.
Currently, communicating AT32UC with ATmega128 through RS485 communication where START and STOP keys are implemented.
RS485 receiver interrupt is called if there is data to be processed in the receiver side where 0x10 = Start and 0x11 = Stop.
My problem is that start and stop keys are recognised well and main loop is continued if start and I would like to terminate the main loop if stop key is pressed.
So I've set the start flag and stop flag accordingly. But, I am struggling with stop(escape) implementation. Below is brief snippets of interrupt routine and main loop.
__attribute__((__interrupt__)) static void rs485RxInterrupt(void)

uint32_t data;

{

//RxDatalength = 0;

All your flags should be declared volatile.
eg:
volatile int start_flag, sync_flag /*,other_flag ... */;
else the compiler may optimise out checks for their value being changed by code outside the current block.

It seems that you have the modem echo set on, so you'll receive each caracter you send it.
I would rewrite your code to something like :

while(1)
{
uint8_t answer_len = SendModemCMD(cmd,answer,timeout);
UART1_Write_Text(answer);

}
}
