wow I sure missed that. I typically use the 8MHz internal oscillator because I have no external crystals to use.

here are the datasheets for the 16f688, VDIP1, and the command codes for the VDIP1:

16f688 datasheet - http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/41203d.pdf

VDIP1 datasheet -...

I finally got around to setting up my VDIP1 and I have no clue where to start. I have it connected to a 16f688 and am using the onboard serial communication ports and HSEROUT commands with 9600 baud...

Yes I have. That's where I got my examples from and it seems to be a very good article indeed. Well that should be it for now, I think I'll order a VDIP1 soon and see what I can do. Thanks again for...

Once again mackrackit you've helped a lot, thank you. I've got one more question though. Most example codes I've seen are using SERIN and SEROUT, can I use HSERIN and HSEROUT instead?

I'm interested in buying a VDIP1 so I can read some .txt files via pic chip, but I can't seem to find a list of commands to control the VDIP1 anywhere I look. I've seen things like "MKD" (make...

I added this to my code but yet again nothing has happened. I also have tried it without TXSTA and BAUDCON.


TXSTA = %10100000
RCSTA = %10110000
BAUDCON = %10000010
trisc.6 = 0
trisc.7 = 1

Good eye. I'll try that and get back to you later.

I have always used the 8 MHz internal oscillator. I've done serial communications with the 16f887, 16f688, and 16f630 all with internal oscillators (simply because I don't have any crystals around to...

hey no need to apologize, but yes, the 18f4685 is attached to the same hardware as the 16f887. I chose the 18f4685 because it had an identical pinout to the 16f887 so all I would have to do is swap...

I'll have to explain some things about the program. The project is a text-based video game system designed around multiple slave PICs and a master PIC, which communicates between both the console...

these changes make it so the only symbol transmitted the "≡" symbol instead of receiving mixed characters and symbols

The code does compile 100% no errors, but it runs improperly. I am getting scrambled characters from the HSERIN/HSEROUT commands when the program is on the 18f4685, but when the program is on the...

I'm sorry but that didn't seem to work either, but I have a few questions now. The WDT, was that set to 512 to somehow complement the 8MHz oscillation speed? Also this config line:

...

Alright. I was able to find the .INC file and found the config bits at the bottom of the page. I came up with this so far but it doesn't work yet. Whenever I compile my program in MCS it gives me an...

No, I don't have anything nor have ever used anything like that before to my knowledge. I looked into the devices folder within my MPASM installation and I didn't see it in the list. Could that be...

I am using MPASM v5.1 with Processor, Radix, Warning Level, Macro Expansion, and Hex Output set to default;
Generated File has Error and List files selected; Case Sensitive is also selected.

I forgot to add I'm using MicroCode Studio with PicBasic Pro.

How would I go about configuring the 18f4685 so I can use the pins as simple I/O ports along with the serial communication pins 25 and 26? I have this configuration so far but it doesn't seem to...

Well it doesn't seem like it will hurt the chip any. Thanks again for the help guys.

What you said is right. I have the music playing while a title screen loads on my tv, and when I DEFINE the oscillator speed at 10 MHz, the music stops when the screen is finished loading. If I...

I have a 16f688 outputting music using the FREQOUT command. When I define the internal oscillator at 8 MHz the audio is slightly warbled and plays faster than I would like, but when I define the...

I feel the ChatBox is a good idea and is worth keeping around. You can have simple questions answered easily without having to start a new thread. The only problem I have found is response time of...

Here is what I am trying to do. I have two 16f688 chips communicating with the hardware serial ports. I have a Nintendo NES controller attached to the transmitter chip and an LCD attached to the...

Ok, so I chose the 18f4620, I have a new question though. When you compile your program in Microcode Studio and it tells you in the bottom left corner that your program uses (in my case) 1632 bytes,...
