16F88 port B UART assembly

As depicted in the 16F88 data sheet, port B 5 have the built in hardware UART function which made serial transmission easier.

**broken link removed**

However I am new to assembly language. To have RB5 send serial data, I am trying to modify the code shown as below:

I declare the variable for settling time for start up:
Code:
;----------------------
; DECLARE VARIABLES
;----------------------

cblock         0x20
tmp1
endc
and the serial transmission is called:

Code:
Ser_sent:
   banksel      SPBRG
   movlw      2580            ; 9.6kbps
   movwf      SPBRG
   movlw      b'00100000'         ; brgh = high (2)
   movwf      TXSTA            ; enable Async Transmission, set brgh

   ; Provide a settling time for startup
   banksel      tmp1
   clrf       tmp1
   settle
   decfsz       tmp1, f
   goto       settle


   ; Send a character through the UART
loop
   movlw      AmpHours
   call      send
   goto      $

;----------------------
; SEND function
;----------------------
send
   banksel      TXREG
   movwf       TXREG            ; Send data which has been stored in W

trans_wt
   banksel      TXSTA
   btfss       TXSTA, TRMT         ; Loop until data is sent
   goto      trans_wt      
   return

   end
The AmpHour is stored previously as:

Code:
store_Ah:
    mov16    dd+2,AmpHours
How about the tem1 timing for a baud rate of 9.6kbps suggested? Thanks
 
hi tt,

Code:
movlw      [COLOR="Red"]2580    [/COLOR]        ; 9.6kbps
movwf      SPBRG

You cannot load a value greater than 255 decimal into 'W'.

Look at the 16F88 datasheet tables for the UART values, it depends upon the crystal freq and baud rate.
 
Code:
Ser_sent:
   banksel      SPBRG
   movlw      2580            ; 9.6kbps
   movwf      SPBRG
   movlw      b'00100000'         ; brgh = high (2)
   movwf      TXSTA            ; enable Async Transmission, set brgh

Code:
   movlw      2580            ; 9.6kbps

The W register is only 8 bits wide so you can only load it with a value between 0 and 255 (0x00 to 0xFF hex).

No idea where the value 2580 has come from but it won't work


Code:
   movlw      b'00100000'         ; brgh = high (2)

This says it sets brgh = high but it is actually setting brgh == 0 which is low speed.

The baud rate is a function of the 16F88 clock speed. If it's running from the internal oscillator at the POR (power on reset) default speed of 4Mhz then you would use:

Code:
Ser_sent:
   banksel      SPBRG
   movlw      .25                  ; 9.6kbps
   movwf      SPBRG
   movlw      b'00100100'      ; brgh = high (2)
   movwf      TXSTA            ; enable Async Transmission, set brgh

   movwf      TXSTA            ; enable Async Transmission, set brgh

How about the temp for starts up? Is it needed for the UART as well? Can I just call the AmpHour just like that? Thanks.

Well I can't see all your code so I don't know what your doing but I don't think it's doing what you intended.

You are not loading the contents of AmpHour into the W register, you are loading the literal value of AmpHour into W.

Since I can't see where you have defined AmpHour I don't know what you are trying to do with it, neither will the assembler so it will probably give an error when you to assemble the code.

AmpHour is declared as below:
Code:
; Amps Accumulated
	LONG	AmpSum   ; addition of all Amp readings

While the code below shows how it is being calculated:
Code:
calc_Ah:
	add1632	Amps,AmpSum	; AmpSum = accumulated Amps
	mov32	AmpSum,dd
	movi16	3600*3,aa	; 3 reads per second, 3600 seconds per hour
	call	Div32		; AmpHours = AmpSum  / (reads per hour)
store_Ah:
	mov16	dd+2,AmpHours

That's not PIC assembler.

Maybe someone has written some macro instructions but what you show above is meaningless.

I see. Most of them are actually defined here for the macro:
