I'm trying to get my pic 16f818 to transmit characters to a serial LCD. When I use the same code on f84 chip it works fine. However, when I try it on a f818 it sends a different character. I used a logic analyzer to check out what's going on. It looks as if the start bit is longer on the f84. I thought by default it sent data 8N1 not matter what chip your using. Is there any defines I don't know about? Thanks for any help.
Code:
INCLUDE "BS2DEFS.BAS"
 
@ DEVICE INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT,MCLR_OFF
DEFINE OSC 4
OSCCON=$60
ADCON1=6
<font color=red>HIGH PORTB.0</font color>
sleep 2

low PORTA.2

begin:

serout PORTB.0,N2400,[12]
SLEEP 2

<font color=red>HIGH PORTB.0</font color>
SEROUT2 PORTB.0,N2400, [68]

SLEEP 2
LOW PORTA.2
goto begin
<font color=blue><b>You are calling on your serial output pin to go high.
What's that about? Also you have used serout AND serout2, so yes you are using serout2, I suspect that's why skimask directed you to page 140. I am curious about the high portB.o command though. I would be inclined to eliminate it and do something like this</font color>
Code:
 SEROUT PortB.0,N2400,[254,128,"68"]
I am really curious as to why you would use INCLUDE "BS2DEFS.BAS" instead of INCLUDE "modedefs.bas" since you are using PICs and not Stamps.
