Didnt look at the code....deleted the msg then thought..... Better put a carriage return after sending the character because....all you will get is a constant 'S' sitting on the screen. How do you know if your getting new data? Send a string so you can look for dropped characters and add the CR and LF to it as well so you can see when it starts and stops. Adding a delay between string sends would help as mentioned. Even better....use an input to the PIC to init the sending of it. That way you have total control at least for debug and then you can use the same routine to send data when you want. >From: piclist@XARGS.COM >Reply-To: pic microcontroller discussion list >To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: Re: [PIC]: UART Help needed to PC >Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2004 01:36:46 -0800 > >On Sat, 10 Jan 2004, David Dolheguy wrote: > > > Could somebody please have a look at my code below which I have written >in > > MPLAB and will be using HTSOFT PIC18 C to compile. > >PIC 18s generally need to have the TX pin configured as an output; >check your datasheet. > >-- >John W.
