Serial Baudrate 115200

[flotulopex]

I tried this already: no success.

Still looks like this:

I was referring to you trying to run 19200. That was what your code above referenced.

If you want to run 115K baud -

From Mr. E's Multi-Calc:

RCSTA1 = $90 ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
TXSTA1 = $24 ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
SPBRG1 = 42 ' 115200 Baud @ 20MHz, 0.94%
SPBRGH1 = 0
BAUDCON1.3 = 1 ' Enable 16 bit baudrate generator

Some of these might change if you are using a 16F part.

You may have to remove the "1" after the register names if you are not using PBP 3

if serout2 was inverted, HSER is not inverted. 16416 in table shows inverted.

[dhouston]

Is there any way to set the DEBUG baud rate at runtime?

[flotulopex]

if serout2 was inverted, HSER is not inverted. 16416 in table shows inverted.

Sorry, I don't understand what you want me to do?! I don't have any problems with SEROUT2 at this time.

I was referring to you trying to run 19200...

I did try this at all available baudrates; never worked. Before you ask, yes, I tried with another PIC

I do use a PIC16F690 and modified the code with your suggestion as it is herunder:

As said, I tried also the lowest selectable baudrate 300bps; even so, I can't see any "good" data in the terminal.

back to basic Roger... check your ANSEL(h) settings.. you're sending something on a analog configured pin.

[amgen]

are you using a USB to serial converter ?

[flotulopex]

if serout2 was inverted, HSER is not inverted.

Why didn't you SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!!??

You're absolutely right: the signal has to be inverted in the way I'm using it. I added a transistor to invert the signal going to the MAX232 chip and guess what: IT WORKS!!!!

The HSEROUT code example in one of my previous post is working fine, also with 115200bps.

I still have some transmission errors but I think this can be due to the small error rate - I'll try with a 18,432MHz crystal.

Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

Hi there,

I need to use a 18,432MHz crystal with this PIC16F690 project to achieve a clean 115200bps serial comm.

Looking at the OSC values in the DEFINEs list, I can't find the value "18".

Shall I simply define the OSC as, i.e., "20" while connecting a 18MHZ crystal?

The only drawback I can see is about timing in PAUSE commands or similar. I assume the HUSART will still run from the 18MHz osc; right?

Any other problems I wouldn't see?

[amgen]

I don't like to yell because I'm usually wrong.

Just a few thoughts, the Max232 chip inverts signal, if your using USB to serial adapter, that takes a non-inverted signal, so you may be inverting redundently. Also, have you tried OSC-Tune to adjust clock to good 115Kb, then you can use standard Xtal ?

Yes, I do use a USB-to-serial interface (FTDI).

I now corrected the BAUDCTL register so as it sends data inverted (no need for a hw inverter anymore).

As far as I understand this register's function, OSCTUNE calibrates the internal oscillator so I don't think it will affect the baud rate generator (I don't know).

BTW, how do I measure a "good" 115200bps signal?

I need to use a 18,432MHz crystal...
Looking at the OSC values in the DEFINEs list, I can't find the value "18".
Shall I simply define the OSC as, i.e., "20" while connecting a 18MHZ crystal?

Can anyone give some info about this please?

Does really nobody know something about that?
