    Hello There,

    I am trying to send a message from pc to pic16f877a and want to display it on lcd. But problem is that no matter the message length that i am sending from pc ,i am able to receive and display only 2 characters on lcd. I am sending you the code. Looking forward for a reply. By the way i am using mikroC for writing the code.

    Thank you,
    rahul

    I also experienced this problem, while using uart and wifi module… I think this problem is due to less buffering space in pic microcontroller…there is only one RSR register for saving the received data…. So if the received data is not read, no data will be received further…
    So try transmitting byte by byte..

    Thanks Ligo
    can you please program it in mikroc and send the codes ?

    Try it yourself.. it is simple…

    When sending data from PC to PIC.. send it byte by byte…… If you need to send a sentence…
    just transmit and receive byte by byte… and you can use a terminator (eg: ‘.’ for the end of a sentence) to know the end of a sentence….

    PIC Microcontroller also has interrupt feature… you may use it, to reducing the continuous uart reading load ….
