#100704 - Thanks ALOT Jan !! Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I don't think -ever- in my life have I had as much discouragement as from anyone as Erik and Andy. Even when I was rebuilding the J69 jet engine in my garage, I didn't get that many "itll never work"s... (which it did and does still lol)
Anyhow, I do appreciate the suggestions Jan, very much. Finally, I've seen some positive results, and I'm still VERY much gleeful with that "Eureka" syndrome! I went ahead and added the line SETB RI1 on line 79, as shown on the code here : http://rafb.net/paste/results/m5ptis94.html Here's what it did : http://www.geocities.com/adempha/temp.avi < digital camera in movie mode, about 600kb. The laser started to move around with data coming from the serial port. The laser obviously didn't show the picture on screen - the baud rates were different, and since I was triggering the loop manually at the end of every PWM loop it was somewhat, well, reading pseudo-random numbers from the port (and probably the same value 3 or 4 times, that uC is FAST). However, that tells me that at least : 1. My PC program is sending the data correctly, and 2 : The second serial port does work, albiet probably not configured right. This is the first time I have seen the laser move to data sent from the computer, and I'm once again thrilled. Having to set the int to run manually narrow down quite a bit what to go over later. I'll start with the INT; once it is working when data begins to stream, I'm going to change the code so the first byte sent (which includes the laser being on or off) will be something to indicate it is the first of the 3 pieces of data, perhaps a byte that comes through before those three. I liked the earlier suggestion one guy sent of doing it in two bytes, but losing 1 piece of resolution. We'll just go from there - I think tomorrow night I'll be making some breakthroughs. Someone correct me on this math here, once I get the port working at 115.2kbps / 8bit = 14,400 bytes a second, or / 3 (3 bytes for each location), 4800 points per second in real time through the serial port. Eventually, I'd like to see if I can get 250kbit out of the 8051 to double that - the mirrors used on the system are rated at 8400 PPS. Sound about right on that 4800 PPS? |
