Serial and interrupt

DEBUGIN works better on higher baudrate on Slower Speed OSC. Check your manual about that. Syntax is a bit different as well.

Before posting posting to this forum I tried "DT_INTS-14" but I got some compailing errors, any idea how to fix them?

wsave3 position request 416 beyond RAM_END 95
wsave2 position request 288 beyond RAM_END 95
wsave1 position request 160 beyond RAM_END 95
Unable to fit variable RS2_Save

open DT_INTS-14.bas file, there you'll find

' --- IF any of these three lines cause an error ?? ---------------------------- 
'       Comment them out to fix the problem ----
' -- It depends on which Chip you are using, as to which variables are needed --
wsave1      var byte    $A0     SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank1
wsave2      var byte    $120    SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank2
wsave3      var byte    $1A0    SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank3

So, just modify it as requested

;wsave1      var byte    $A0     SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank1
;wsave2      var byte    $120    SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank2
;wsave3      var byte    $1A0    SYSTEM      ' location for W if in bank3

So I did and now there's only one error left...

Unable to fit variable RS2_Save

[mister_e]

well, seems we hit one of the limitation of the low-end PIC. In this case, asm INT and home made serial routine would work. 12F683 would provide better range.


Let's see what Darrel would suggest...

I suppose that the only way to write the serial routine is to code it in asm.

Damn me for choosing this somewhat limited pic

12f683 is 8 pin device and has twice the flash memory available.
