Hi. I have a rs485 module connected to my due and I have problems.. ermh.. while transmitting over rs485.. Yes.. The same old problem; I need to put RTS pin high while transmitting and set it low again to receive.. Problem is that RTS pin is closed too early so the data being sent.. Isn't complete.
2 solutions:
-
add a delay. This works.. And then again it doesn't. Length of delay should be dependant on the data that was sent. As we don't know the buffer in all cases, all it varies.. This isn't good. Ofcourse, we could add a delay long enough.. But then receiving might fail, because other end might already be answering to the query..
-
use status registers of usart to detect if transmission buffer is empty/transmission has ended/or something else.. Here's a popular atmega code:
while (!(UCSR0A & (1 << UDRE0))) Â // Wait for empty transmit buffer
  UCSR0A |= 1 << TXC0;  // mark transmission not complete
while (!(UCSR0A & (1 << TXC0))); Â // Wait for the transmission to complete
Well this nonsense doesn't work on the due.. Here's something that I've been trying:
 while (USART1->US_TCR == 0 );
 while ((USART1->US_IER & US_IER_ENDTX ) != US_IER_ENDTX );
 while ((USART1->US_CSR & US_CSR_ENDTX ) != US_CSR_ENDTX );
 while ((USART1->US_IER & US_IER_TXBUFE ) != US_IER_TXBUFE );
 while ((USART1->US_CSR & US_CSR_TXBUFE ) != US_CSR_TXBUFE );
Neither of those lines did the trick or anything towards the solution.. I am using Serial1, so I guest USART1 is correct, right?
Little help needed here
