PIC16F676 RS232 baud rate

[jrprogrammer]

Can you output 19200 baud using the internal "precision +/-1% internal oscillator on a PIC16F676? I have an existing board and suddenly changed from 9600 to 19200 baud...
Thanks, Jim

I don't know anything about that chip, but if the INT OSC is 4MHz then you can run 38,400 if you use a hardware USART, or if you have to bit-bang, you can run 19200 using DEBUG.
If you are running at 8Mhz, then you can run 57,600 on hardware or 38.4K using DEBUG.

I run these rates quite often using 18F2221's on their internal oscs.

Thanks for the reply... I'll try it out today..
