    My Problem is that I can not find the Right setting to run my Software on that Chip.
    I need just a Normal RS232 Communication and not USB but I think that my settings are wrong!
    ......
    But dont work I receive on my PC just wrong Data.
    Maybe some one can Help me to find the right Setting,I have experience with 18F452 and other PICs but with 18F4550 I dont understand what I make wrong .
    Thanks for any answer !
    Regards Pesti
    Do you have a MAX232 (or equivalent) in the circuit somewhere?

    Oh yes with max232 and other PIC 18F452 is working but with 18F4550 dont work I think that this is a Xtal setting Problem.

    Did you set HS instead of XT in the config's?

    Ok I think that I found the Problem,I have 20 Mhz Xtal but I must write Define OSC 48 while 20/5 = 4*24= 96 Mhz for PLL / Divider 2 = 48 Mhz CPU Clock.


    Thank You Skimask!

    Ahhh...that makes sense.
    I thought you had a 20Mhz crystal and 20Mhz CPU clock.
    But, if that's the case, then your dividers (SPBRG) are going to be off also. Off the top of my head, I think 153 or 154 will do for SPBRG at 48Mhz CPU clock.
    I could be wrong...

    Yes You are Right I have for SPBRG 155.:-)

    Thanks
