AUTO baud rate detection FOR UART connection to PC

[mike20200]

Im using PIC 16F877A with 20MHZ crystal and i wonder how to auto detect baud rate instead of setting it constant. DO anyone haev example for it?

Hi, this will be found in Assembler but its really simple code, you can find it on the
Bootloader application Note from microchip for pics 18F. This code has a nice
autoBaud detection routine at the begining.

My guess, since i am not a great ASM coder is that they always send a $0F a the beggining of each packet, this $0F is used to measure the baud rate.

Since the BootLoader applies to 16F877 it will help you.

thx alot but i prefer the code in Basic. i need to combine this auto baud rate code with the rest of my other code.anyone can help and got example to share?
