Hserout in Oshonsoft causing unrecognisable digits

Ian Rogers · Dec 5, 2018

Just run it up on ISIS and setting OSCCON to 8Mhz and PLL to on... I'm getting 125nS instructions and 1.0004 seconds on the 1000ms delay..
It would appear 4 instructions too many, but close enough... Pic running at 32Mhz...

Hi I,
Ok, I'll try this later, thanks.

With the ON/OFF program I posted, would you expect the PIN37 SCK, to switch 0-3.3V, it is actually only outputting 0.5V when ON.

Hi I,
OK.
Initially I tried to get PICs running at 32MHz, but after failing, I use 8MHz and no PLLEN till things get working,
Thanks.

PLL enable bit for the internal oscillator is in the OSCTUNE register, not in CONFIG1H

HS oscillator is not internal oscillator.

Hi J,
I must admit, I did get confused when trying different settings. It's gone now.

Hi,
I've been concentrating on the SCK PIN. When simple PORT ON/OFF the SCK shows 0-0.5V

I don't think it is switching correctly.

The settings I used were the internal 8Mhz boosted to 32Mhz... Switching the PLLEN in the OSCTUNE on... JJW is right. You have to use internal setting..

HS with PLL is for the external crystal... CONFIG1H = 0x6.. PLL is always enabled
Internal fast RC... CONFIG1H = 0x8.. PLL has to be enabled in software.

Hi,
Looking at the program I'm using for these tests #16 all the setting are as you are all saying: 8MHz no PLLEN. Let me know if I'm incorrect.
Note: in Oshonsoft ( ' ) = commented out.

Never said that! I used 8Mhz internal with the PLL enabled...

Hi All,
I've got to apologise. From around #16, I got a bit mixed up between two different problems.

The Programs are now showing recognisable digits. I just happen to have left the settings 8MHz and no PLLEN, for now, while I sort out the second problem.

The SPI, SCK PIN is not switching ON/OFF as it should. I'll post another thread.

Thanks,
C.

Hi I,
With the above program, the LEDs are now flashing 1 every 4Secs.

That means your PLL isn't switching.. Per chance did you do a new config setting when you changed from the K to the normal? Different OSC settings..

Hi I,
I've simply been trying previous programs as they are, then trying different settings. I did try different setting, remember the HS example. It's now set to 0x08 INT OSC

I simulated it with define clock_frequency = 32 and got 1sec on 1sec off or blinking once in 2 seconds.
So your clock is 16MHz ?

Did you change other settings?

The delay is 1 second so an on/off cycle is 2 seconds.. that would suggest 32Mhz as required...

Hi I,
I'm using the program at #30 untouched.
To clarify, it now switches ON for 4secs OFF for 4secs.

It means that the frequency is 8Mhz
