How do you make it go

Elmac Chaygap

Hello,

My name is Elmac Chaygap. I am a student at the school and I am doing a course on Physics and Electronics. One day I want to be a manager but I think I will be an Engineer first. I am working on a project with a processor and memory. The problem is that it works very slowly. Can anyone tell me how I can change the speed by making it faster?

    don't be sorry. this isn't class and you can ask what you want without fear or disturbing anybody. by the way, I am sorry for being a little rude before, I thought you were another one of these annoying trolls that appear here from time to time (yesterday we had a genius that claims to be able to compile entire programs in his head. if he is reading, I am curious: did you get the results of the CAT scan I recommended?).
    Now, let's start from scratch. you have a functioning system but it under performs. can you use a simulator to find the bottle neck? please try a demonstration program as I suggest in my previous post so that you can put the blame on something - PC or controller. and provide more details about your setup. that can help, too.

    Elmac,

    If you have access to an oscilloscope, check to see what your 80C31 is receiving and transmitting.

    Do the characters look right? If you can measure the time between receiving and transmitting, how much of a delay is there?

    You mentioned that you use hyperterminal. If you can, try another program. I have found that hyperterminal can sometimes confuse you with strange actions. Sometimes my copy just stops receiving anything until I close the program and restart it!

    Let us know the results.

    Distinguished clan member and Elmac,

    'TeraTerm Pro' is freeware and a good replacement for HyperTerminal.

    Tamir,

    I've never heard of that one, I'll hunt it out and give it a try.

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    It is me again, Elmac Chaygap.

    Thank you John, Tamir and Per. You helped me find the problem.

    I managed to get a scope and saw that my board was sending a letter very quickly after getting a letter. So the board and my code worked properly.

    I then got teraterm and tried that and the problem was gone.

    I will never use hyperterminal again.

    I now think that I have a working board and some working code. Now I make it do more :)
