I think what is ment is from the compiler you click on view/compile program options. dsLoader does not make the bootloader firmware.

Hi Gordon,

Did you try to uninstall the driver and re install it? I just had to reinstall windows and SF all went fine. If you still can't get it to work maybe I can email you my driver. They should be the same.

Yep that did it. I should have looked more closely. now I can get on with finishing the project. Thanks again.

Thanks Jerry. I could not see the forest through the trees.

Hi Jerry, The two things that david pointed out are already in the code I posted. The program hangs at the USART.write sub and if I delete the sub and just put USART.write(pressure/100) in the main loop it hangs there. I will try to send a string. DEVICE = 18F1220 CLOCK = 16 ' include modules INCLUD...

OK I updated to 8.60. and still the same thing. I really need to get this resolved.

Hi Ryan,

I have 8.56. I opened MPLAB let MPLAB check for updates. It says that I am up todate.

OK I figured out why I was not getting a update from the code. It seems that the program gets stuck in the PC_display sub. If I comment it out in the main loop then all works. I even deleted the PC_Display sub and put the usart.write(pressure/100) in the main loop and it still hangs on that line of ...

Hi John,

I tried using While True wend and while 1 =1 wend and it still won't work. If I comment out the Usart include and everything that goes with USart it will work.

Hello Everyone, OK I have the software Uart working. I also have the hardware USArt working. I just Can't get both to work together. Here is my code. The problem is the var pressure does not update. IF I reset the pic then it does. Thanks for any advice. DEVICE = 18F1220 CLOCK = 16 ' include modules...

OK David,
I see the difference now between using Uart and SUART. Thanks.

Thanks, I must be dense this morning. When using the hardware USART and the Software USART together, both use Usart.write to send a byte to the usart buffer. If I have both the software usart and the hardware usart initialized what usart is going to be used? I have to include both "USART.bas and "SU...

OK Another question. How does SF differentiate between using Soft USart and using the Hardware USart when using them together? both use Usart.write. It seems the software usart shoud be SUsart.write or something like that.

the compiler starts, but do not generate hex files, unless you have the dongle installed.

Thats the purpose of the dongle.

Thanks. I am only send data via software USART to a Serial GLCD. For Programming and testing I am using a Easypic6.
