18F4550 XTAL Problem

[Pesticida]

Hi,

I have a little Problem ,I have one 18F4550 Chip that running with a 20 Mhz Xtal.

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!

I have this:

Define OSC 20
OSCCON = %01111100
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 64 ' 19200 Bauds
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1
UCON = %00000000
RCSTA.7 = 1
TRISC.7 = 1
TRISC.6 = 1

.......
Hserout ..........
.......
End

I have use SPRBG Calculator for the Baudrate (20 Mhz and 19200)

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 !

Do you have a MAX232 (or equivalent) in the circuit somewhere?

[Pesticida]

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?

[Pesticida]

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...

[Pesticida]

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

Thanks
