Hello! i noticed an unusual behaviour in my code earlier today i am receiving data and sending it back via bluetooth 

 

ISR(USART1_RX_vect)
{
	uint8_t temp_var =0;
	temp_var= UDR1;

 	if(temp_var > 10)
 		PORTA ^= 0b01000000;  //Toggle LED
	while(((UCSR1A&(1<<UDRE1))==0));
	UDR1 =temp_var;
}

 there is no problem in my communication because what ever i am sending i am getting back without any corruption but The led only toggles when i send in an Even number of string 

for example if i Send AA it toggles but when i send AAA it doesnt can anyone help me with this please? 

This topic has a solution.

Check if the DOR1 (Data Overrun Flag) in UCSR1A is set.
You might be losing characters because your ISR has a a potential time-delay while(((UCSR1A&(1<<UDRE1))==0));

it was not set though i found out what the problem was and Now i feel so STUPID :S

when i was sending odd number of character i.e. AAA they were actually AAA/n so because of even numbers of characters and no delay between toggling it was impossible to detect toggle.

Your 'even number of string' might actualy be an 'odd number of characters with value > 10'.

eg. when you send AA you might actually be sending

A(0x41)  A (0x41)  CR(0x0d)  LF(0x0a)

 

Try one of

/* ignore any control character */
if (temp_var > 31)

/* ignore CR or LF */
if (temp_var != 13 && temp_var != 10)

 

EDIT - OK you solved it already
