UART "SendString" command problem [SOLVED]

[Sasi]

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for trying it out.
Would you be so kind to attach the .fcfx, .c, and .h files from the program compilation results to the post.
I would like to compare them with what I get as a compilation result.
Regards,
Sasi

Sure - files attached as requested.

Sorry, I would like to request the .hex extension instead of .h.

Dear Sasi
Can you remove the processor and try with a new processor? Maybe your processor is failing due to static electricity or something like that.
I can understand that you are overwhelmed by this problem, it's very frustrating.
I am asking to be sure of the oscillator speed of your processor, is the 1 second led blink test positive? Please test it on an oscillascope or logic analyzer.
I am waiting for your answer.

Not a problem.
Zipped up as .hex file can't be sent

[Sasi]

The .hex file you sent works.
There is no difference in the code between the .c files.
Would reinstalling Flowcode fix the problem?
What would you suggest?

First without modifying the .fcfx file I sent, compile and load your Microcontroller.
If it works you have a configuration issue with your ,fcfx file.
Follow what Sadık has suggested and run a a 1 sec flash test and measure the time duration the LED is on for, or you can use a scope or a logic analyser.

If it does not work, then make sure you update your component library with the Full database option.
Reload your .fcfx project and try again.

The problem is not in the C file,
As far as I understand, there is an error in your configuration settings. Cyrstal Settings
Can you write down the values of those settings?

// Enter C code below this comment
OSCCON = 0x70; //16MHz
st_bit(OSCTUNE,PLLEN);

uses the internal oscillator with this command. Remember

Hi Martin and Sadık,

I did a clean install of Flowcode10 on a desktop. I installed all the library updates. I compiled the .fcfx file Martin sent me, but the UART output didn't work.
Then I thought I'd try different versions of the XC8 compilers.
XC8 v2.10 (the default compiler for Flowcode 10) and XC8 v2.46 produced a non-working .hex file for me. XC8 v3.00 gave me errors during compilation, so I didn't experiment with it any further.
XC8 v2.50 is the winning compiler. It seems to only work with v2.50, although I haven't tried all the possible versions.
It helped a lot to solve the problem that I received working project files from Martin.
Thanks again.
Sasi

If I compile with XC8 v2.50, will other errors occur during program compilation?

Thanks Sasi,
That is interesting.
I use XC 2.50 since I'm adding new target devices.
I know XC8 v3.0 is not compatible with Flowcode.

If I compile with XC8 v2.50, will other errors occur during program compilation?

What errors did you get with v2.50
