Serial communications speed problem [solved]

[rogerb]

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have used the following code but with no success unfortunately, I'm using mikroelektronika's "mikro C Pro for dsPIC" with a BIGdsPIC6 development board.

Code:

// *****************************************************************************
// Initialize Uart1 communication for USB
// *****************************************************************************
UART1.UxMODE.UARTEN = 0;         // disable UART1 ready to change settings
UART1.UxMODE.ABAUD  = 0;         // disable auto baud ready to change settings
delay_ms(10);                    // wait 10 millisconds
Uart1_Init_Advanced(256000,1,1); // USB FTDI connection 256000 baud,0 parity,1 stopbit
// *****************************************************************************

According to the datasheet this should clear almost everything.

I've tried to communicate using all different terminal settings but after using the bootloader to download the application I cannot achieve any response at all. Is there a way to find how the bootloader has left the seial port settings? I would have set the bootloader to 256000 baud but a warning appeared telling me that the baud rate error was too high!

Oh . . I cannot find an errata sheet in the version that I downloaded or the GUI source. Have I the right version - 1.4.1.0 in the about box

Also when using the bootloader GUI I have to set it to 115200 and also set the autobaud detect flag on or nothing happens.

All help appreciated
