According to the datasheet for the 18F4320 (DS39599B) the internal oscillator runs at 8MHz. If I am correct, the datasheet tells me that the internal oscillator is not divided by 4 in the way an external timing source would be (crystal, clock, resonator...applied to OSC1 and OSC2 pins). For USART configuration, should I use a value of 32MHz (8MHz * 4) as the FOSC value in the baud rate equation FOSC/(16(x+1))? I am having problems with USART communications...it does not work and I believe the problem may be that I have done the baud rate calculation using the 8MHz INTOSC value as FOSC in the equation above. I have successfully done rs-232 on 16F family PIC's with no problems and understand the details of UART / USART configuration but this is my first time on the 18F family with an internal oscillator. Am I on the right track? Regards, Stephen D. Barnes -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
