Function Documentation

◆ init_usart()

void init_usart ( void )

Takes the defined BAUD and F_CPU, calculates the bit-clock multiplier, configures the hardware USART ready for use.

Takes the defined BAUD and F_CPU, calculates the bit-clock multiplier, configures the hardware USART.

Definition at line 48 of file usart.c.

{
  // defined in setbaud.h
  UBRR0H = UBRRH_VALUE;
  UBRR0L = UBRRL_VALUE;
 
#if USE_2X
  UCSR0A |= (1 << U2X0);
#else
  UCSR0A &= ~(1 << U2X0);

  UCSR0B = (1 << TXEN0) | (1 << RXEN0);
  // 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
  UCSR0C = (1 << UCSZ01) | (1 << UCSZ00);
}

◆ print_string()

void print_string ( const char myString[] )

Utility function to transmit an entire string from RAM.

Definition at line 67 of file usart.c.

{
  uint8_t i = 0;
  while (myString[i])
  {
    transmit_byte(myString[i]);
    i++;
  }
}

◆ read_string()

void read_string	(	char	myString[],
		uint8_t	maxLength
	)

Define a string variable, pass it to this function.

The string will contain whatever you typed over serial.

Definition at line 81 of file usart.c.

{
  char response;
  uint8_t count = 0;
 
  while (count < (maxLength - 1))
  {                  
    response = receive_byte();
    transmit_byte(response); // echo
 
    if (response == '\r') // enter marks the end
    {
      break;
    }
 
    else
    {
      myString[count] = response; // add in a letter
      ++count;
    }
  }
  myString[count] = 0; // terminal NULL character */
}

◆ print_byte()

void print_byte ( uint8_t byte )

Prints a byte out as its 3-digit ascii equivalent.

Definition at line 106 of file usart.c.

{
  // Converts a byte to a string of decimal text, sends it
  transmit_byte('0' + (byte / 100));            // Hundreds
  transmit_byte('0' + ((byte / 10) % 10));   // Tens
  transmit_byte('0' + (byte % 10));         // Ones
}

◆ print_word()

void print_word ( uint16_t word )

Prints a word (16-bits) out as its 5-digit ascii equivalent.

Definition at line 115 of file usart.c.

{
  transmit_byte('0' + (word / 10000));       // Ten-thousands
  transmit_byte('0' + ((word / 1000) % 10)); //  Thousands
  transmit_byte('0' + ((word / 100) % 10));  //  Hundreds
  transmit_byte('0' + ((word / 10) % 10));   //  Tens
  transmit_byte('0' + (word % 10));          //  Ones
}

◆ print_binary_byte()

void print_binary_byte ( uint8_t byte )

Prints a byte out in 1s and 0s.

Definition at line 125 of file usart.c.

{
  uint8_t bit;
  for (bit = 7; bit < 255; bit--)
  {
    if (bit_is_set(byte, bit))
    {
      transmit_byte('1');
    }
    else
    {
      transmit_byte('0');
    }
  }
}

◆ nibble_to_hex_character()

char nibble_to_hex_character ( uint8_t nibble )

Convert nibble to hex character.

Definition at line 142 of file usart.c.

{
  if (nibble < 10)
  {
    return ('0' + nibble);
  }
  else
  {
    return ('A' + nibble - 10);
  }
}

◆ print_hex_byte()

void print_hex_byte ( uint8_t byte )

Prints a byte out in hexadecimal.

Definition at line 155 of file usart.c.

{
  uint8_t nibble;
  nibble = (byte & 0b11110000) >> 4;
  transmit_byte(nibble_to_hex_character(nibble));
  nibble = byte & 0b00001111;
  transmit_byte(nibble_to_hex_character(nibble));
}

◆ get_number()

uint8_t get_number ( void )

Takes in up to three ascii digits, converts them to a byte when press enter.

Definition at line 165 of file usart.c.

{
  char hundreds = '0';
  char tens = '0';
  char ones = '0';
  char thisChar = '0';
  do
  {

    ones = thisChar;
    thisChar = receive_byte(); // get a new character
    transmit_byte(thisChar);   // echo
  }
  while (thisChar != '\r'); // until type return
 
  // TODO: Bracketise this further
  return (100 * (hundreds - '0') + 10 * (tens - '0') + ones - '0');
}
