PIC18F26K40 UART PPS
PostPosted: Thu Oct 19, 2017 5:51 am     Reply with quote

Looking at the .h file for PIC18F26K40

I'm a little confused about the pin selection values for UART1 and UART2.

Input Functions:
U1RX U2RX and RX1 RX2

Output Functions:
U1TX U2TX and TX1 TX2

What's the difference between U1RX or RX1 etc. ?

Either.

It's for reverse compatibility.

If you look at the data sheet, MicroChip calls the UART TX/RX pins on this chip TXx and RXx so these names are made available by CCS for the UART. However a lot of older chips have their TX and RX pins called UxTX and UxRX, so CCS give these names as well.

To match the data sheet, on a new project, I'd use TX1/RX1 and TX2/RX2.

Thanks I appreciate the clarification.
