Hi Paul
Thanks for the reply, I have used the code exactly like you have written it without any extra interupts etc.
What I did was remove the TXWait and just put a PAUSE 100 in then it does transmit.
What is funny is if I put a meter on the nIRQ pin then it keeps sending info on the SEROUT2 and the TX Led remains ON,
If I take the meter off the pin then it settles down ant the TX Led switches off. What I did was wire an extra LED onto a unused pin on the PIC and then
monitor this in relation to the nIRQ pin when it goes High or Low.
I read no voltage on the nIRQ pin but the extra led stays on so there is something weird with this pin?
Maybe I should rebuild the PCB onto a Veraboard instead on leaving it all on a Bread Board as there seems
to be a lot of capacitance floating around, I suppose that this could cause a problem on the nIRQ pin?
What can you suggest Paul?
Kind Regards
Craig
