Slow starting up

Hey
belive me I had a look..
page 278 and 279 of the manual states the define and OSCCON values.
The datasheet talks about the OSCCON value which I set. But the define OSC 1 Mhz do not work. Lowest it will go is 4Mhz.
Datasheet stipulates internal oscillation can go as low as 31khz...

I'd like to see the rest of your code but is OSCCON = %01001000 correct? Shouldn't it be OSCCON = %01001110? I'm assuming you're using an internal oscillator, should be stable and it should be used as system clock. I don't know why 4Mhz worked but, if that's all you changed between compiles, then try that.

This is for a 16F88 and is on page 40 of the datasheet.

ya that works, that bit at position 1. Ithink that did it. thanks

[mackrackit]

Bits 0 through 3 of OSCCON are read only?

[lerameur]

Actually it compiles , but after careful testing, the frequency is all over the place when using only OSCCON = %01001110..

Hi All. After reading this thread, it made me look at something I now don't understand. I've been using this table for years for 'F819 and 'F88. But when you convert the decimal numbers to binary, the bits don't match the table in the datasheet. When you pick the bits and convert to decimal, they don't match the table. Does anyone know why? Thank you.


'osccon values for 16f818/819:
'OSCCON = $00 'for 31.25 khz
'OSCCON = $10 '125khz
'OSCCON = $20 '250khz
'OSCCON = $30 '500khz
'OSCCON = $40 '1mhz
'OSCCON = $50 '2mhz
OSCCON = $60 '4mhz 'set int osc to 4mhz
'OSCCON = $70 '8mhz

You can change READ-ONLY registers all you want. The PIC will just ignore your requests at best.

As you can see, the 4MHZ is uncommented. If you convert the number to binary, it doesn't match the osccon bits in the datasheet when you select 4MHZ. Same with the reverse, select the 4MHZ bits in the datasheet, convert to decimal and it doesn't match the table. Yet, the numbers in the table do work.

I'm curious what do you mean? Bits 0 to 3 set status bit, oscillator stability and mode select. Can't these be set at beginning of code?

[peterdeco1]

Sorry Dave. I still don't get it. 60 on the table I use comes out to 0111100 in binary. Are we choosing the bits from left to right (MSB first) instead of right to left (LSB first)?

[Sherbrook]

I think this is the problem
You are reading $60 as decimal when it is a HEX number
60 = 00111100 in binary
$60 = 01100000 in binary

Thank you Phil. Makes perfect sense now.
