Hi :
I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this problem.
I am using SDFS code example with Pic18F4550. Although most of the code in the example is working fine , but the Serout2 is giving out garbage.
I checked and rechecked everything , but still no success , ofcourse I don`t think the problem has anything to do with SDFS , there must be something
that I am doing wrong with 18F4550 .
Thanks in advance .
Is this the first time you use that PIC model?
What CONFIG settings are you using?
What version of PBP, MPASM, etc.
Robert
Thanks Robert.Quote:

I am using PBP 3 - Microcode Studio Plus 5 - MPLAB IDE v8.80 and my device programmer is melabs U2 Programmer.
and I have put everything together based on SDFD schematics , connected to RS232 with a MAX232CPCE
Are you sure about the oscillator setting? Didn't that change with PBP 3.0? (not sure)
What CONFIG settings did you use? that's often a source of problems.
Thanks Robert.
It looks like PBP3 automatically sets the config and it works for every other PIC that I have but 18F4550.
I tested it with various PICs and I even used a brand new 18F4550 , still getting garbage out of portc.6 .
Did you try setting port C as output?
TRISC=0
I did no change .Quote:

Not sure if this applies to 18F family.
I did try that too , I also tried other routines like HSEROUT or Debug with all the Define s required but still no luck.Quote:

Set your DEFINE at 48, regardless of your external oscillator.
I just saw that in another thread just now.
