Hello everyone, I've been having some trouble getting output from my 8051. Some of the other forums haven't been of much help. I'm simply trying to send text from the 8051 to a terminal application. From the C51 example code, I have: #include <REG51F.H> #include <stdio.h> void main(void){ SCON = 0x50; /* SCON: mode 1, 8-bit UART, enable rcvr */ TMOD |= 0x20; /* TMOD: timer 1, mode 2, 8-bit reload */ TH1 = 253; /* TH1: reload value for 1200 baud @ 16MHz */ TR1 = 1; /* TR1: timer 1 run */ TI = 1; /* TI: set TI to send first char of UART */ while(1){ printf("Test\n"); } } As a note though, I have an 11 MHz crystal, therefore, the above should set it to 9600 baud, not 1200. When I connect my term app at 9600, 8N1, no flow control, I get absolutely nothing. For giggles, I set it to 1200, 8N1, and I get a ton of garbage. Does anyone have any recommendations on things I can try to get proper output from the chip? I've got SecureCRT (but have also tried Hyperterminal, both with the same results)... Thanks in advance for your assistance!! -Ryan
Hi Jon, thanks for the reply... I'm using a Maxim Max233CPP chip.. does that help at all? Thanks again!
