Can defines be changed with port input?

[Archangel]

You don't need to change defines to change the baud rate. In PBP, the baud rate generator gets set once, at the beginning of the program. Your program can change it any time later by writing to the SPBRG register. I switch between baud rates all the time in my programs.

Just remember - when using the UART, your program writes the output buffer and moves on, which means that you can still be outputting a byte many instructions after the HSEROUT. You should wait at least two byte-times after any HSEROUT command before you change the baud rate.

Hi Charles,
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all who share this forum!
I am thankful to all who post here.

So are you saying, the statement posted below:
<h4>DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 32 ' __ _ FOR 20MHZ 129 = 2400, 32=9600,25 @ 4 for 2400, </h4> might be written as something like:<h4> IF PortB.n = 1
THEN HSER_SPBRG = 32
ELSE
HSER_SPBRG = 129</h4>
JS

EDIT
AHHHH SOOO
I see, just define it to your default and change it later with SPBRG = "new setting number"
<h3>THANKS CHARLES !</h3>
