A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.
To make it work I had to change the the value that gets moved into
OSCCAL. Since the serial routine that I used had been around awhile
I can only assume that the problem is in the Pic oscilator. Don't
know what to do to fix it though as I don't want to have to
calibrate each pic chip.
