Why is this so hard? HSEROUT problems.

Hi Groston,
The PIC is obviously sending the data out. You are running with the internal oscillator and it may be that it's not precise enough for the baud rate generator to produce the correct timing. Can you try it with a external crystal instead. (I think it should've worked when you tested at 300baud though, but you'll never know).

Try to get the PIC to send data correctly first. (I know that's what your doing) but perhaps something even more simple, like:

i var byte
Loop:
  i = i + 1
  HSEROUT [#i, 13]
  Toggle PortB.0
  Pause 1000
  Goto Loop

Let us know.

Henrik,

I will try your suggested code a bit later today.

As for the intent of the section in red:
I was simply looking to see if the program would recognize incoming serial data. By using the built-in serial communications window, my plan was to send a character every so often to see if the alternate message was outputted.
