Got some 12F615 chips today, and when I remembered to configure the internal oscillator for 8MHz it produced nice 19200 baud using SEROUT2:

serout2 tx,32,1,[69,10,13] ' test serial output
...

That's a really cool chip - but it is pricey. I'm still on PBpro 2.50 - time to upgrade I guess. But I will try out the 12F615 first, I'm getting some next week. My bluetooth (BTM-182) unit needs...

Thanks Dave,
I'll consider that F615 chip. It has the 10 bit A/D that I need too. I can sacrifice the OSC1 pin and justify the cost of an external crystal oscillator I think. It's all coming...

Thanks Dave,
I dropped in a 10MHz crystal oscillator and YES that works. But not the 4 MHz internal osc apparently.

Unfortunately a resonator will eat up 2 valuable pins, and a crystal...

OH Duh! Should have turned the page in that manual. I never used SEROUT2 before...
I'm using a 12F675, so will I need an external oscillator/xtal/resonator? Or will the internal 4MHz work?

I am working with a bluetooth module (BTM102) that comes set factory default at 19200. I need to send serial data to it at that rate. It would seem that I need to bump up the clock rate of the PIC...
