Just wanted to raise another querry on this old thread , without starting a new one.

I am interested in interfacing the above mentioned Inclinometer to the PIC and displaying the relevant information on the LCD.

My target MCU is 16F877A @ 20Mhz.

One of the problems I am facing is how to interface the PIC at 115,200 or 56,700 baud to read the information from this sensor.

Any help would be appreciated.

regards

Hi Charu,

Please post your crystal frequency. The baud rate generator works for certain rates at certain crystal frequecy. Otherwise you have to do away with the hardware USART and have a asm based routine. It is also possible with PBP. But then you are left with little processing or housekeeping
