An open-drain or open-collector output pin is driven by a single transistor, which pulls the pin to only one voltage (generally, to ground). When the output device is off, the pin is left floating...
I've misunderstood/misinterpreted the data sheet before. :D Seriously, I read the EUSART section and my eyes gloss over when they start making distinctions between half-duplex, full-duplex,...
The USART section in the datasheet for your device will tell you if you should set/clear the TRIS bits for the TX/RX pins.
If the chip supports open-drain mode then you just need to setup the TX pin...
Re: SOLVED - PIC seems to RESET unless I add a PAUSE in Mainloop
It is definitely a reset, a look at the lst file shows that the looped code segment has no pbp statements in it that generate a clwdt instruction
richard Today, 10:59that loop does the the same thing for every pic...
