877 + SP232A

[o_wan]

hi,

I was working w/ 877a with Sipex sp232a on serial communication, my code was simple (just putc('c')), I've checked that the pin conifg of sp232a is the same as max232, I've got it working but I was getting "garbage" instead of 'c' in either hyper teminal or serial port monitor, my clock is XT, 4 Mhz,

Here's my schematics,

sp(p1)-->0.1uf -->sp(p3)
sp(p2)-->0.1uf -->vcc
sp(p4)-->0.1uf -->sp(p5)
sp(p6)-->0.1uf -->gnd
sp(p11)--> PIC TX
sp(p12)--> PIC RX
sp(p13)--> DB9(p3)
sp(p14)--> DB9(p2) DB9(p5)-->gnd

Thanks,

First check the software to ensure you have correctly setup the comms to match between the PIC and the PC. Have you set both ends up identically?

Check the #use rs232 and #use delay statements
