Maybe you should try

Or get Pic Basic and hang around here.

That DIOSPRO chip's specifications look real familiar...
Where have I seen those spec's before?
I can't quite put my finger on it...

I am using PicBasicPro 2.50A, and can use any of the Pic Procs (non surface mount). I have been testing with a 16F876A, but only because it is in my breadboard all set up. As you point out in your second post, I assume that the Dios product is based on the pic, so if they can do it with a Dios, we could do it with a Pic, but I think there might be an limitation with the PBPro.

Mackrackit,
Unsure why you could not follow my original post, but it seems clear that am I writing code for a PIC (in the PBP forum). Are you not able to follow the reasoning behind my inclusion of the Dios example?

I guess you are just to smart for me. First time poster post code for another compiler and states they do not want to learn anything else. I do not know what I was thinking

All you had to do was ask. How do I do 7E2 at 9600?

First set the define for SEROUT2

DEFINE SER2_BITS 9

That should give a false bit.
Then to get the 7E, use the mode number 24660.

You may want to check the manual on this. And if you are using the hardware port you will have to check the data sheet for your PIC.

BTW... Welcome to the forum.

Same thoughts going on here...
This situation is atypical... Surely not the norm for a first time post.

Sorry if I got off on the wrong foot, but I thought your initial reply was being sarcastic (thought I was being told where to go, literally). Now that I see your reasoning, I understand that I misinterpreted your comment.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will try it over the weekend

Oh...don't worry...it was sarcastic!
Like I said, most 1st posts go something like this:
I can't blah-blah-blah...
Well, have you tried blah-blah-blah
Can you teach me how to blah-blah-blah
Have you got the manual for blah-blah-blah
There's a manual for blah-blah-blah?
Der-der-der-der...

We are good at sarcasm too

Like I said check the manual about the 2 stop bits. I have not needed to do that but in theory...

Let us know how it goes.
