PIC 18F2220 from hell

Hi and welcome here.

There's a few things you have to change and delete. Let's see

@ INCLUDE "P18F2220.INC"	 ;processor specific variable definitions
@	LIST P=18F2220 ;directive to define processor and file format

you don't need them, PBP do it for you, just delete those lines above

DEFINE OSC = 20

must be written like

DEFINE OSC 20

However, with this changed, you'll also need to change your OSC mode in your config fuses... and then you'll probably have a list of Error[118]... read the following thread (at least post 1 and 5)

RCSTA = $FAB
TXSTA = $FAC
SPBRG = $FAF

kinda hard to fit a 12bit result in a 8bit register Your program don't use the USART as it use a bit-banged solution (SERIN2/SEROUT2). If you want to use the USART, have a look in your manual for HSEROUT/HSERIN

Hello Steve,

Thank you for your reply. I was not sure if i need those first two lines of code. I will apply your recommendations when i get home.

Using HSERIN, will it read data @ 38.4K assuming I DEFINE the correct BAUD and SPBRG?

Yes it will work. In fact you can change the baudrate on the fly if you need. If you do so, you'll need to change the SPBRG value.

Have a look at my PicMultiCalc, kinda handy stuff to calculate the SPBRG register

Hello Steve,

Your advice was right on. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Wihile i am fairly new to this forum, I have learned a lot from you and others who contribute to this forum regularly. The PicMultiCalc tool was very useful i will make good use of it. Thanks again.
