serial lcd with 16f628

Try this and see what happens;

@ DEVICE MCLR_OFF, HS_OSC, WDT_OFF, LVP_OFF, BOD_OFF, PWRT_ON

DEFINE OSC 10

CMCON = 7

Pause 2000

start:

SerOut2 PORTA.3, 17197,["N1200"]
Pause 2000
SerOut2 PORTA.3, 16780,["N2400"]
Pause 2000
SerOut2 PORTA.3, 16468,["N9600"]
Pause 2000
SerOut2 PORTA.3, 16416,["N19200"]
Pause 2000

SerOut2 PORTA.3, 813,["T1200"]
Pause 2000
SerOut2 PORTA.3, 396,["T2400"]
Pause 2000
SerOut2 PORTA.3, 84,["T9600"]
Pause 2000
SerOut2 PORTA.3, 32,["T19200"]
Pause 2000

GoTo start
End

Do any of these print as expected?

Try using a different port pin and see what happens.

thanks bruce.. i wish i had thought of that... as soon as i saw the code you wrote, it just kinda clicked that i should have done it 2 days ago... so it works with t19200 so i needed to use "32"... so i put that # back into my original code, and it displays the "hello world" multiple times..

with my code, it repeats itself every 2 seconds, so the first time it display the "hello world" the hello is all messed up, and it displays world fine... then the second cycle it displays everything fine... so the display looks like

B PPx world hello w
orld hello world hel
lo world hello world

@ DEVICE HS_OSC
DEFINE OSC 10
cmcon = 7
TRISA = %00000000
TRISB = %00001000

lcd VAR PORTA.3
baud CON 32

Pause 2000

start:

SerOut2 lcd, baud,[" Hello World"]
Pause 2000
GoTo start
End
