Transfering DATA between two pics via SPI OSHONSOFT

Hi J,
Working
There are some patient people here, but a big thanks to JJW.

Hi,
I've just come back to this thread, and now see that my optimism in #81 has been dashed, because even though this works with HSEROUT/IN, it needs to work with SPI
EDIT: I've re-read this post, and now I think it may be what I need, so I'm testing it again.
EDIT EDIT: First attempt failed, I'm puzzled why the SLAVE PIC doesn't need a CS?

The slave does not need SS, if it is the only slave, then SS can be permanently ON.
Don't you see on master Hserout what is coming from slave?

Hi J,
The SLAVE is the only SLAVE, but not the only MODULE addressed by SPI. CS/SS is used to time the READing of each module. I thought the SLAVE SS could be used to READ the SLAVE at the correct time in the program.

I don't see on the MASTER (18F4620) what is coming from the SLAVE, but I do see what is HSEROUT from the SLAVE (18F4431) by using a computer Terminal (e,g Tera term)

Then you have multiple slaves and need to use SS on all devices.

Hi M,
I consider a SLAVE as one that has been set up as a SLAVE, e,g,
______________________________________________________________________________
• Serial Data Out (SDO) • Serial Data In (SDI) • Serial Clock (SCK) Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave mode of operation: • Slave Select (SS)
______________________________________________________________________________
And MODULES e,g, COMPASS which is simple switched on with CS

Can you not see why all modules need an SS pin?

Mike.

 

[camerart]

Mike.

Hi M,
I can see why all modules need a CS/SS PIN, but I don't know how to set up 2xPICs as MASTER SLAVE. I have an SS track on my PCB between the 2x PICS

I didn't know that CS and SS meant the same thing.

Your master and slave setup has been ok before, because some data has been received from the slave.
Check all chip select and sdi / sdo connections for all SPI devices.

 

[Pommie]

If I remember correctly, only the slave pic has hardware SS. The master has to have 1 pin per slave and select the correct one before communicating.

Hi J,
No DATA has ever been received by the MASTER PIC from the SLAVE PIC yet.

The slave had a RADIO MODULE that transmitted the QEI AZIMUTH into a computer Terminal, to show the INCREMENTAL ENCODER is working [ HSEROUT "AZI", strazi, crlf ] , but the setting for transferring SSBUF has not yet been done correctly. All the other MODULES e,g, Compass are working on SPI ok.

Hi M,
The MASTER has 1PIN/SLAVE including the PIC SLAVE. The PIC SLAVE SS is PIN44, All correct.

You wrote this in #75
"Hi,
So far all of the tests involving SPISEND, always SPIRECEIVES whatever value is SENT"

So the master got back what it had sent.
It means, that the slave did not put anything to SSPBUF, but the data was moving.

 

[camerart]

Whereto is the slave cs connected.
Show the define SPI's in the master.

Hi J,
Just spotted this!
I don't have CS set in the DEFINE SPI in MASTER.

Checking #75, you're correct, I'm getting mixed up. So we've had it kind of working before, good.

I change a few things and come back.

Hi J,
I think my comment at #75 was incorrect.

See 2x attached programs, with the result, but this is because of HSEROUT in 4431 not SEND RECEIVE.

I think you have changed something.
Make a simple test.

SPIsend 5
SPIreceive data
Hserout data
SPIsend 10
SPIreceive data
Hserout data

 

[jjw]

In test.jpg you print the slave data.
If you want to test SPI, print the data in the master.

Hi J,
DATA not accepted.
NOTE: To clarify, I changed the 18F4620 MASTER.

In the TEST.jpg both are shown, e,g for the 4620 "4620AZILB=" for the 4431 "4431AZILB="

[jjw]

Do you have Dim data as byte?

 

[camerart]

Do you have Dim data as byte?

Hi J,
Dim DATA as BYTE added to 18F4620 MASTER.

Do you accept PMs?
