LCD / PC question

[luminas]

I changed my code to :

main:
LCDOUT $FE, 1
LCDOUT $FE, $C0, "test"
hserout ["test" ]
pause 1000
goto main

LCD displays "test" , nO problem
Terminal program displays:"
ÈKÛ¼ìÿ ( String )
C8 4B DB BC EC FF (Hex)

Its a problem with your serial baud settings for your pic.

Change the SPBRG value to 64 like this:

DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 64

You could probably even remove that line altogether.

thanks Kamikaze

After few hours trying any possible setup, I solved the problem

The problem is with HSPLL config.

If I change the config to:
_FOSC_HS_1H
define osc 10, it works

but if I change the config to :
_FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H
define osc 40, it did not work as expected

HSPLL suppose to multiply the frequency, and if I define osc to 40 ( 4x ) it should be working right out of the box , right ? Or did I forget something ?

Could anyone share information about this ?

The PLL expects an input frequency that is a multiple of 4, which your 10 Mhz clock is not.

For this PIC I usually use a 4Mhz crystal with _PLLDIV_1_1L, _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L, and _USBDIV_2_1L which results in a 48Mhz clock for the processor.

Have a look at the table in the data sheet on pages 29 and 30.

edit: also have a look at the figure on page 24 - it shows that the PLL must have a 4Mhz input.
