FC11 Software UART Bit Timing?

Hi, PIC18F2585 20MHz Xtal. Running latest updates. Issues with UART, OK in hardware mode but will not run anything above 9600 in software mode. I usually can run 19200 without issues. Bit timing looks wrong. getting around 22Khz for a 19600 setting. I checked a LED flash at 10hz on scope, good. but ...

FC11 Serial Debugging

Hi FC team, Do you have getting started notes on the hardware serial de-bugging features of FC 11. I've found the Serial Monitor funtion, under runtime tools and the wiki example. Which I think is a tool to allow Hardware to send/recieve data directly from a Console, rather than using a 3rd party co...

Re: Setting Register Value in C Code

Intersting and make sense but :) if I use the Bitfield name the compiler throws an error. But 'BRGCON1bits.BRP0 = 1' will pass 3698: BRGCON1bits.BRP = 1; ^ (255) not a member of the struct/union "" ^ (182) illegal conversion between types int -> volatile union S783

Re: Setting Register Value in C Code

Hi, this method of setting values in registers work well for me. REGISTERNAMEbits.BITNAME for example, BRGCON2bits.SAM = 1; // Set the SAM bit to 1 in Register BRGCON2 However if a bit field is longer than one bit, how do I refer to the BitFields name? Do I just refer to the lowest value bit, bit0? ...

Re: Programming Debugging PICkit5 vs PICkit3

Oh, If the FC team are working on a UART debug feature. Is a compatible AppDev component possible? just a thought. :) J.

Re: Programming Debugging PICkit5 vs PICkit3

Hi. PICkit5...Well It seems to Work! If you also are new to the PICkit5, DONT just Connect your PICkit5 to your PC. (I did!) A) First Download latest MPLAB IPE. In my case it was v6.25 The installer asked if it should install the latest MPLAB IDE and install the latest 8bit and dsPIC packages etc. I...

Display Diagnotic Values from PIC UART

Hi, This program uses AppDeveloper to display Names and Values sent over a Serial COM link. This is usful for Custom microcontroller devices in the field or being debugged, having the program send out internal values can be very helpful. During testing and a 57K baud serial link, I'm getting a relia...

COM Port - Setting Port and Baud within App

Hi, I have an App Developer program which recieves Serial Data from a PIC, this is working well. But how can I Refresh COM Port, Change Port and Change Baud Rate from within a deployed/Running App? I tried to make the properties visible but could not make this work. A Running app wont set focus on t...

Re: Programming Debugging PICkit5 vs PICkit3

Thanks Ben, Great update. I always have a UART breakout as I use it to dump Values to a App Dev program or a Terminal, so a UART ICD would be great and very universal. I've taken the jump and have a PICkit5 on the way for £60 from Farnell. So standby for a dumb "what does this error message mea...
