Define osc 8 not working on 12f683 - wondering if Its related to include files?

[dw_picbasic]

Hi gang,
I've been playing with a 12f683 in 4mhz mode and sending results to a serial LCD using "SEROUT pin, T9600, ["text here"]

works fine.

But then I tried bumping the internal osc to 8mhz

OSCCON = %01110111 ' internal oscillator at 8 MHZ
define osc 8

The oscillator frequency is definitely changing
But the "define osc 8" command looks like its being ignored by PBP3.

I put an Oscope on the serial clock pulse-width to check.
And with our without the "devine osc 8" there is no change.

Where should I look for troubleshooting this?
I'm using Pickit2 as the programmer.

Big Thanks!!
Duane

Hi Duane,
The manual would be the first place to start when troubleshooting this particular problem :-)
Define is a case sensitive keyword, ie osc is not the same as OSC. So, try define OSC 8.

THANK YOU! I've been having the same problem for the past year, just adjusted timing manually and never bothered to figure it out.

Just make sure you enter any "DEFINE" statements as all CAPS.

They are case sensistive.

[HenrikOlsson]

And again, it's WHAT you trying to define that's case sensitive, not the word define itself

DeFiNe OSC 8  ' works
define OSC 8 ' works
DEFine OSC 8  'works
DEFINE OSC 8 ' works
DEFINE osc 8  'does not work because OSC is what's case sensitive.

/Henrik.

Actually, I'm using Micro Code Studio editor and it auto-magically changes the case of everything to what it likes.
So I tried typing all upper case and MCSE just changes it to lower case.
I've looked in the PBP3 manual and don't see anything that would give a hint.
I think I'll try to email Mel Labs if they have the time to answer.
I'm sure they've seen that before.
They designed the compile code, so I would hope they would know what I should be looking for.
I wonder if there is something in the include file that is over-riding the define statement.
I'll post what I find out.
Thanks my friend :-]
