modbus ascii wants 7 bit word length - stm32 has 8 bit ?

#define USART_WordLength_8b ((uint16_t)0x0000)

#define USART_WordLength_9b ((uint16_t)0x1000) hello forum,I am trying to modbus ascii comunicate with a delta operator panel the settings of OPanel is 7 bit data, 1 stop, 1 parity however my STM32F103 has only the above settings why there is no 7 bit wordlength ? what can I do else ?thanks #modbus-ascii-stm32f103

7-bit + 1-bit (parity odd or even) = 8-bit

You program the STM32 as 8-bit, and enable parity. This will enable 7N1 or 7O1 in the classic sense. For 8N1 or 8O1 you'd configure in 9-bit mode.

hello ,

I did what you said ; I setup serial port 7Even1 ( 8 bit word length + even parity )   what I want is to connect my STM32F103 to Delta HMI operator panel with modbus ascii when I request some internal memory of HMI , it responds with an ascii array just like modbus standart says as you know modbus ascii has terminating characters 0xd 0xa  however when I watch the received ( by the STM32 ) characters I see 0x8d and 0xa how can a serial port receive an 8 bit character with 7E1 setup ? thank you PS. delta HMI is also setup 7 E 1

That should have been 7E1 and 8E1 above.

You'll want to mask the data from USARTx->DR to remove the parity bit. Basically USART_ReceiveData(USART1) & 0x7F; for the 7-bit case and USART_ReceiveData(USART1) & 0xFF; for the 8-bit case. The register is 9-bits long.

I am trying to get 8E1 to work right now I get 7E1 , I have a board with  

32bit STM32F427 Cortex M4 

and I using the operation system to open the Uart etc, how do I set the

USART_WordLength_9b to make the STM send 8E1
