Add GPS/PARSE to 8xSERVO-MOTOR CODE in Oshonsoft

The code will be useful for others too, a pseudo hardware uart can be very useful and most people never use CCP2.

I'd just like to know why the code doesn't compile when it's basically identical to the example in the manual.

Out of curiosity, does the example compile?

Code:
Proc portb_display(arg1 As Byte)

Hi M,
Make sure I've done it correctly.
Removed dim temp as byte.
This compiles.
That all looks fine. If it works we can try using a loop again as in,
Code:
    if serialCount>=9600 then        'do this every second 
        serialCount=0                    'clear the count
        str="Mike Was Ere!!" + CrLf
        for i=0 to len(str)-1
            call putFifo(str(i))
        next i
    Endif
To see if that works.
Will have to add, of course,
Dim str As String
To the definitions at the top.

BTW, I'm assuming String positions start at zero.

It should send "Mike Was Ere!!" out of C1 at 9600 baud every second.

Hi M,
I'm on the wrong computer for HW, but this is what the Sim shows:
Got to stop now, g'night.

Hi M,

Hi,
I've updated #151 for clarity.

Note: I think you use a different system to mine?
I always try to update the title at the top of the CODE each iteration, showing what the CODE relates to and increment the date and time.
This help me find CODE in the future.
I notice you use the 164 CODE, so it relates to the 'shift register'

I added TRISC, and the line to speed up the sim.
If you don't use them, then I have to add them each time.

Anyway the CODE is compiling, so that's good, but there's nothing showig on the UART.
The 'watch variables, show nothing is being incremented, not sure whar this means.
EDIT: I haven't tried #152 yet.

None of these numbers make sense.
#151 says,

Please stop referring to previous posts and just write what you want to say.

Hi M,
Strange! #151 on my screen shows an image which I changed?

So if I don't refer to earlier #'s
Did you notice that the CODE produces an incorrect stop BIT?
and,
I haven't tried the small section of CODE you sent earlier.

Hi M,
I've been on AAC, where they've been finding out where the CODE error occures.
Here's the explanation, from the Osh SIM.
C
Code:
On High Interrupt 'go via location 0x0008
Save System
If PIR2.CCP2IF Then
serialCount = serialCount + 1
wordTemp.LB = CCPR2L 'ensure next interrupt is
wordTemp.HB = CCPR2H 'in 208*4=832 instruction cycles
wordTemp = wordTemp + 208 '208 is 2,000,000/9600 = 104uS or the time for 1 bit at 9600 baud
CCPR2H = wordTemp.HB 'it's really important that the high byte gets written first
CCPR2L = wordTemp.LB 'write it back

Break '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' break point

PORTC.1 = 1 '''''' error msg
LATC.1 = PORTC.1 'ensure latch is same as current CCP output

If ccpDone Then
