I have a dedicated 16f84 pic tied to a LCD display which allows me to use Debug commands to readout parameters with a single wire at 2400 baud from PIC's under development.
I am now working with a 12f629 PIC and can not get readable data from it. The program does function. I am using the 629's internal RC oscillator at 4mhz and my Debug settings reflect this. I changed the REG setting to GPIO.5 but the compiler says its not a defined pin.


Define OSC 4 ' Set Xtal Frequency
Define DEBUG_REG PORTB.3 ' Debug PortB for 16f84
Define DEBUG_BIT 2 ' *** Debug pin Bit-0 ***
Define DEBUG_BAUD 2400 ' *** Debug Baud Rate ***
Define DEBUG_MODE 1 ' Set Serial Mode to Inverted
Define DEBUG_PACING 200 ' Delay 'in Us' between

I also tried the serial communicator with the SEROUT command but couldn't get anything readable.

N2400 con 4

Serout GPIO.5,N2400 ,[seq,10]

I have read: Debug commands do not work on 12 bit core PICs (?)
An external xtal is necessary (tried that}
The defines may have to be tweaked (?)

Does anybody have any other suggestions?
