Hello all,

I am using the hardware USART of a PIC16F876 in asynchronous mode, 2400 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity. The Rx pin of the PIC16F876 (pin C7) is directly connected to the outp ...

Bad news: I removed the line that Mark recommended me but I am still getting a result of the A/D conversion that is wider than 8 bits-wide (or at least, that is how I am interpreting it).

If I use ...

OK Mark, thank you very much for your help. I will try it and I will let you know how it goes

Yes, my crystal is 76.8 kHz (PIC is in low power mode). Is there a problem with this? That's why I used the internal RC for the clock of the A/D converter.
If I only remove the line that you told me, ...

I would like to have 8 bits resolution in the A/D conversion (not the 10 bits resolution that is by default), and store the result in an 8 bit-wide variable. What do I need to modify in my code to ach ...

Thanks to Mark. On the data sheet, I did not find how to change the resolution for the A/D, but I wanted to ask if it was possible.

I want the result of the A/D conversion right-justified, so I can ...

Thanks to Aztlan for the suggestion, but unfortunately I tried it and the PIC still uses 10 bits of resolution for the A/D conversion. This is the code that I am using on the PIC:

#include <16 ...

The A/D converter of the PIC16F876 has 10 bits of resolution. Do you know if there is a way to put it to work with just 8 bits of resolution, instead of 10?

Thanks to Humberto for the suggestion. I modified the code of my receiver to use interrupts instead of polling. However, it seems like the UART receives just one "trash" character, stores it into inte ...

Thanks again to Mark. I followed his suggestion, and the issue reduced. However, I also had to include a “non-confundible” character (a 0x00, because it has a waveform that cannot be confu ...

Thanks Mark and Ttelmah for your help. I modified my code based on your recommendations and I got rid off the overrun error.

However, now I have another problem: I am transmiting a 65 in decimal, ...

I am relatively new to PIC and C programming. I am writing a program that uses the getc() function of the CCS PIC C Compiler to read data on the RC7/RX pin of a PIC16F876. I review with an oscilloscop ...
