| Hello forum. I'm trying to run the USART with a external clock source. Device is 16f88. Any inputs? |

the only way to have an "external" clock for the uart is to use an external crystal or oscillator for the PIC itself.
quoting the DATASHEET
| Quote: |
• Addressable Universal Synchronous
Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter
(AUSART/SCI) with 9-bit address detection:
- RS-232 operation using internal oscillator
(no external crystal required) |

He could run as a synchronous receiver or transmitter, which might be what he is talking about.
Only half duplex possible though

I think you would have to set the USART up manually for this (you did when I last looked). Problem is that though sync support is present, it only works on chips that offer full duplex sync, with a separate clock line. Set it up as normal for UART1, async operation, then just turn off bit 7 of TXSTA, and change the TRIS on the TX pin to '1'. Then getc, works as normal.
