Reading analogs with 16F877

[Andre_Pretorius]

This is what i have so far, Still nothing
No mention of ansel in the data sheet, any other idea i have replaced the chip also and tested with a ossiliscope to try and see if mabe the chips was faulty still nothing

'*Serial port Setup 9600 8N1*
TXSTA = %10100100
RCSTA = %10010000
DEFINE HSER_BAUD 9600 ; 9600 Baud
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ; Clear overflow automatically
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 129
TRISC = %10000000 'RC7 as RX(input) rest as output

RC6 output, RC7 input edit: I gotta rub my eyes ! Been starin' at this "Confuser too long" Anyway you're using Herserout, so you should be using RC6, Yes? So what's on the other end? Is it working? Oh , just nosey, what's in the ansi include file? Must be something of yours, never seen that one . . .
Cut this from your code and see:
TXSTA = %10100100
RCSTA = %10010000

Current code still nothing

'*Serial port Setup 9600 8N1*
DEFINE HSER_BAUD 9600 ; 9600 Baud
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ; Clear overflow automatically
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 129

Hi Andre,
OK I think I would go to square 1. Open a new window in MCS and put in only the basics, your hser defines, a byte variable, load a value into the variable and then an HSEROUT statement, also the config statements, and OSC define. see if that works, no includes, no AD enable code, in fact disable for this test, then after this works, start adding stuff back in.

Just a bit more info here is the inc file i am using, in answer to JOE s question the the device on the other side is my PC running hyper terminal

NOLIST
ifdef PM_USED
LIST
include 'M16F87x.INC' ; PM header
device pic16F877, hs_osc, wdt_on, pwrt_on, lvp_off, protect_off
XALL
NOLIST
else
LIST
LIST p = 16F877, r = dec, w = -302
INCLUDE "P16F877.INC" ; MPASM Header
__config _HS_OSC & _WDT_ON & _PWRTE_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_OFF
NOLIST
endif
LIST

thanks Joe s i did it but still nothing, I am now running a new PIC with LED's on the TX and RX lines just to elimenate any hardware problems here is the current code


DEFINE OSC 20 ' Define crystal as 20Mhz

'*Serial port Setup 9600 8N1*
DEFINE HSER_BAUD 9600 ; 9600 Baud
DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ; Clear overflow automatically
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 129

TRISC = %10000000 'RC7 as RX(input) rest as output

Main:
HSEROUT ["hallo"]
goto main
end

Thank you JOE S i found the problem, i went back to a led and a button when that did not wanted to work i went back to the hardware and found i used the wrong caps on the oscilator fixing it solved all the problems. again thank you for all the help
