Hi Darrel,
i already use

DEFINE HSER_EVEN 1
DEFINE HSER_BITS 9


but in hyperterminal it shows garbage. I set hyperterminal to 8 data bit, even parity, 1 stop bit.

If i dont use the above 2 defines and set hyperterminal to 8data bit, no parity, 1 stop bit, no problem.

Is this a bug with PIC18f4550?
