Problems adding up of Ascii values

[attachment=0]SerialResultFrom Baby Orangutan328p.

Hello everyone ,
I’m working on a project that communicate use serial and I got the code working in arduino IDE. But I’m having trouble transferring some lines of code from my code that written in Arduino 1.0.5 to Avr studio 6. So I use my baby orangutan 328 and programming it with pololu avr usb programmer.

if(Serial.available()>0){
    value=Serial.read();
    Serial.print(value);
    total=total+value;
    Serial.println(total);
   }

In Avr studio 6 I can only read out Ascii code in serial, but some reason i can’t get any addition to work in the program.
serial.transmit&receive

void USART_Transmit( unsigned int data )
{
/* Wait for empty transmit buffer */
while ( !( UCSRnA & (1<<UDREn))) )
;
/* Copy 9th bit to TXB8 */
UCSRnB &= ~(1<<TXB8);
if ( data & 0x0100 )
UCSRnB |= (1<<TXB8);
/* Put data into buffer, sends the data */
UDRn = data;
}
unsigned int USART_Receive( void )
{
unsigned char status, resh, resl;
/* Wait for data to be received */
while ( !(UCSRnA & (1<<RXCn)) )
;
/* Get status and 9th bit, then data */
/* from buffer */
status = UCSRnA;
resh = UCSRnB;
resl = UDRn;
/* If error, return -1 */
if ( status & (1<<FEn)|(1<<DORn)|(1<<UPEn) )
return -1;
/* Filter the 9th bit, then return */
resh = (resh >> 1) & 0x01;
return ((resh << 8) | resl);
}
/*in Avr Studio*/
            .......
             value=UDR0;
             Total=Total+value;
             Serial328.Print(data,"");
             ..........

received data1 97 data2 97
Total’s output is 97.
can anyone help me fix this?
Total’s is suppose to be 194 not 97…
any help would be appreciated.

Hello.

It looks like you are using code written for the Arduino rather than the Orangutan. Could you try using the Orangutan libraries included in the Pololu AVR Development Bundle instead? Also, I cannot see where the transmit and receive code that you posted is being used; it is difficult for me to debug your code without seeing the entire program. Could you simplify your code to the most basic program that demonstrates the problem and post it?

but still i can’t get the right reading from the Read().
type a String “how” and send it to the baby orangutan 328p. Then the Baby orangutan 328p translate to Ascii values. So I can then add the ascii values together to get a total value.

Hello, Hovic.

That program is unreasonably long and complicated for us to debug for you. Can you try writing a simple program (ideally only a few lines long) that just uses our OrangutanSerial library?

- Ben

Hello ben
convert the example Section 3.h
how can I get ascii value read out and get the total of the ascii values?
I didn’t get any value, but i got the letter that i sent to baby orangutan.

Can you very specifically say what you are trying to accomplish? (Pretend you want me to do this project for you and tell me everything I would need to know to do so.)

- Ben

I would like copy a library from arduino’s hardware serial.CPP and it’s called HardWareSerial:read(void);. Then make hardwareserial:read() compatible for baby orangutan 328p.
It read data out of received_buffer translate it into ASCII (int)values.
But the problem I don’t exactly know how the HardWareSerial:read(void); works.

int value;
int total;
   Void   Setup(){
    Serial.bring(9600);
}
Void loop(){ 
   value= Serial.read();
   total=total+ value;
  Serial.print(value);

Send “how” received ascii int values print out total value= 334
Make the code above work with the orangutan using the orangutan library.

I haven’t tested the following code, but maybe you can give it a shot and let me know how it works?

#include <pololu/orangutan.h>
#include <stdio.h>

char send_buffer[10];
int size;
char received_byte;
unsigned int sum;


int main()
{
   // Set the baud rate to 9600 bits per second.  Each byte takes ten bit
   // times, so you can get at most 960 bytes per second at this speed.
   serial_set_baud_rate(9600);
   
   while(1)
   {
      // loop until we receive a single byte
      while(serial_receive_blocking(&received_byte, 1, 1000));
	  
      sum += received_byte;  // add byte to running total
	  
      size = sprintf(send_buffer, "%d", sum);  // represent sum as an ASCII string (e.g. 97 -> "97")
      if (size > 0)
         serial_send_blocking(send_buffer, (unsigned char)size);  // transmit ASCII representation of sum
   }
}

Success! Thank you Ben and to all answer me.

I’m glad to hear it worked. Why do you need a program to do this? Did I just do your homework assignment for you?

- Ben

Nope. This is for a robot that I’m building for my self.
just wanted to transfer Decipher.cpp and Decipher.h to AVR studios.
Decipher.cpp (11.8 KB)
Decipher.h (1.19 KB)

problem 2
This photo shows the response I want from the Baby Orangutan 328. I’m also using the arduino Serial to read the outputs from the Baby Orangutan 328 to the screen .
can i use serial_receive_ring() to achieve this or no?


It is possible for serial_receive_ring() to be part of your solution.
