Thanks, but that is part of the string I have already read through. I fully understand that a software UART is just that, software. It's all about timing and a pin state. So, back to the question. Why does the hardware USART not work when I Include "SUART.bas"? I can comment out the SUART lines and ...

I do not understand what you mean. The hardware has the Pic USART wired to a DB9 to talk to the outside world. The software UART is collecting serial data from a NEMA sonar. I only have 1 hardware USART available. Pretty much I'm trying to copy what I've been doing in PBP. I have followed a previous...

I need to use both the hardware UART and a software UART in the same program but can not get them both to work. If I comment out the software UART include and associated code,the begining serial out works. But just uncommenting the 'include "suart.bas"' even with out using it prevents the message fr...

Might be a newby question, but how are the interupt pins and change on interupt supported? I can't seem to find any information in the forum or the help.

Thanks for the help. I'm buying the full version anyway so will probably have a few more posts as I come up to speed.

I am trying out SF and can not get a very small program to compile as the "Variable Allocation Excxeeds (SE) Maximun". The program only has 3 declared variables: Device = 18F4620 Clock = 32 Config OSC = HSPLL Include "math.bas" Include "usart.bas" Include "convert.bas" 'dim red as PORTE.2 ' Red LED ...
