I am using a 16F1783 with XC8 trying to get the USART tx/rx to work,
but it is not outputting ANYTHING at ALL!


////////////////////////
void startup(void) {
    TRISB   =3D 0b00111111;   //All PORTB =3D input except USART
    ANSELB  =3D 0b00111111;   //RB0:5 =3D analog input
    OSCCON  =3D 0b01110110;   //8MHz
    INTCON  =3D 0b00000000;   //Disable all interrupts
    OPTION_REG=3D0b10000000;
    PORTB   =3D 0b00000000;
}

void init_usart(void) {
    BRGH =3D 1;
    BRG16 =3D 0;
    SPBRG =3D 51; //9600 baud for 8MHz with BRGH =3D 1
    TXEN =3D 1;
    SYNC =3D 0;
    SPEN =3D 1;
}

void putch(unsigned char byte) {
    while(!TXIF) { continue; }
    TXREG =3D byte;
}

void main(void) {
    startup();
    init_usart();

    while(1) {
        putch('X'); __delay_ms(500);
        //PULSE AN LED
        //An LED pulses every 500ms so I know it's not getting stuck
in the putch() code
    }

}
////////////////////////

I put a scope on the TX pin (RB6) but nothing changes, it's just stuck
low the whole time.
I also cannot receive on the RX (RB7)
I wrote a software USART that works using the same pin, so I know the
pin isn't broken or something. I also tried multiple chips, same
result.

I'm sure there's just a register that I'm forgetting.

PLEASE HELP!
