MicroCode Studio Plus Problems

I have the MicroCode Studio Plus installed and am having trouble getting it to connect.

I am using the 18F1320

Here is a portion of my code:

Code:

---

include "BS2DEFS.BAS"
       
    'OSCCON =$ff 'clock speed
    OSCCON = $62
    ADCON0 = 0  'diable A/D
    ADCON1= 127  'all digital out 
    define OSC 4
   
    ' Set Debug pin port
        DEFINE DEBUG_REG        PORTB
        define DEBUGIN_REG PORTB
        ' Set Debug pin bit
        DEFINE DEBUG_BIT        4
    DEFINE DEBUGIN_BIT  2
    define DEBUG_PACING 2000
        ' Set Debug baud rate
        DEFINE DEBUG_BAUD        2400

        ' Set Debug mode: 0 = true, 1 = inverted
        DEFINE DEBUG_MODE        1
        define DEBUGIN_MODE 1
          'TRISA = 0
    led1 var PORTA.0       
    led2 var PORTA.1
    led3 var porta.2
    led4 var porta.3
    led5 var porta.4
    x var byte
    loop:
        debug "hello world",cr ,10
      for x = 255 to 1 step-5
      pwm  led1,x,10
      if x < 60 then high led2
      'if x < 25 then high led3
      next x

When I compile amd program with ICD then click the play button it cannot connect

I can read the "hello world" on the Hyper Terminal

Any Ideas as to what is wrong?

Serial communications with the ICD requires you to use the hardware USART.

Look in the MCS+ helpfile for ICD Serial Communcations.

Bruce, thank you for the response. If you don't mind, I just switched over from the Stamp, could you put that in more simple terms?

You need a MAX232 interface between your PIC & PC, and you'll want to use HSEROUT
to display text from within MCS+ while running the ICD.

The MCS+ help file has instructions on using the ICD, and a full schematic. The ICD just
does not work without the MAX232 interface.
