Manchester Code Library
The mikroC PRO for ARM provides a library for handling Manchester coded signals. The Manchester code is a code in which data and clock signals are combined to form a single self-synchronizing data stream; each encoded bit contains a transition at the midpoint of a bit period, the direction of transition determines whether the bit is 0 or 1; the second half is the true bit value and the first half is the complement of the true bit value (as shown in the figure below).

- The Manchester receive routines are blocking calls (
Man_Receive_Init
andMan_Synchro
). This means that MCU will wait until the task has been performed (e.g. byte is received, synchronization achieved, etc). - Manchester code library implements time-based activities, so interrupts need to be disabled when using it.

Library Routines
The following routines are for the internal use by compiler only:
- Manchester_0
- Manchester_1
- Manchester_Out
Man_Receive_Init
Prototype |
unsigned int Man_Receive_Init(); |
---|---|
Description |
The function configures Receiver pin. After that, the function performs synchronization procedure in order to retrieve baud rate out of the incoming signal. |
Parameters |
None. |
Returns |
|
Requires |
External dependencies of the library from the top of the page must be defined before using this function. |
Example |
Stellaris// Manchester module connections sbit MANRXPIN at GPIO_PORTE_DATA.B0; sbit MANRXPIN_Direction at GPIO_PORTE_DIR.B0; sbit MANTXPIN at GPIO_PORTE_DATA.B1; sbit MANTXPIN_Direction at GPIO_PORTE_DIR.B1; ... if (Man_Receive_Init() == 0) { ... } Stellaris// Manchester module connections sbit MANRXPIN at DIO_P6IN.B0; sbit MANRXPIN_Direction at DIO_P6DIR.B0; sbit MANTXPIN at DIO_P6OUT.B1; sbit MANTXPIN_Direction at DIO_P6DIR.B1; ... if (Man_Receive_Init() == 0) { ... } STM32// Manchester module connections sbit MANRXPIN at GPIOE_IDR.B8; sbit MANTXPIN at GPIOE_IDR.B9; ... if (Man_Receive_Init() == 0) { ... } CEC1x02// Manchester module connections sbit MANRXPIN at GPIO_INPUT_PIN_023_bit; sbit MANTXPIN at GPIO_OUTPUT_PIN_023_bit; ... if (Man_Receive_Init() == 0) { ... } |
Notes |
In case of multiple persistent errors on reception, the user should call this routine once again or Man_Synchro routine to enable synchronization. |
Man_Receive
Prototype |
unsigned char Man_Receive(unsigned int *error); |
---|---|
Description |
The function extracts one byte from incoming signal. |
Parameters |
|
Returns |
A byte read from the incoming signal. |
Requires |
To use this function, the user must prepare the MCU for receiving. See Man_Receive_Init routines. |
Example |
unsigned int data = 0, error = 0; ... data = Man_Receive(&error); if (error) { /* error handling */ } |
Notes |
None. |
Man_Send_Init
Prototype |
void Man_Send_Init(); |
---|---|
Description |
The function configures Transmitter pin. |
Parameters |
None. |
