Trying to inch my way to the finish line w/ a 16F1829.........

Hi,

Ok sensei, but if that's the case, why did it work fine before? Does high/low set the pin to digital as well as setting the tris bit?

No, HIGH/LOW only handles the TRIS bit. I'm surprised, and a bit sceptical to be honest, that it really did work before. Then, of course, there might be something I'm missing - wouldn't be the first time, for sure.

When moving from one PIC to another you really do need to verify that what you set the registers to applies to the new chip as well. Usually it does but certainly not always - especially if you move from one series to another. CMCON is one example, someone searches the forum, finds a post where it says that CMCON=7 disables the comparators. This is true for the some PICs but not all.... It's tedious (some might even say boring) but reading the datasheet really is a must and you certainly do learn a lot from doing it.

Or you do like me and let Alldigital tell you what to do.

I go to the datasheet when I need a specific feature.

Well in this case I did that... It's just that it seems when trying to enable the hardware serial, there is A LOT of stuff to activate/set, and I just wasn't getting the combination correct. Still haven't... but haven't tried today either. I got sidetracked on another project... Gotta start a thread on that one now.

Datasheet p. 118, APFCON0, bits 2 and 7.

The rest comes from Multicalc.
