Strange glitch

[labrat31]

I have almost finished writing a program to receive and transmit strings of data. It reads a 4 byte data string from UART and sends it to RAM then transmits the data from RAM in a 4 byte string back over UART. It also has a timer so it will not lock up or loose sync if it reads 3 or 5 bytes. It works ok say 90% of the time other then this glitch, when I send data to the micro from a computer continuously with a delay in between strings say 100 mS sometimes it will miss a string and the ports flick on and off quickly even though I have no reference to ports in the program. Anyone know what this could be??

hi lab,
Is the 'sync' Timer on interrupts.??

Post your program

its still a little messy and missing some comments but this is what I have so far

if u mean dose it use the Receive interrupt flag then yes. Im still self learning so I may be missing something

copying my code into “wrap code” messed up my formatting big time sorry but the .asm should look ok

 

[labrat31]

anyone? The program looks like it should doesn’t it??

 

[labrat31]

Should my sync timer be on interrupts? Trying to get it working now but the interrupt only works once
