UART Communication with PIC18F4520 Starter Board

In this tutorial we will be doing the serial communication on PIC18F4520 Starter board.
PIC starter board has an on board Usb-to-Serial converter and you do not need any other hardware other than this board.

UART Pins

Below table shows the PIC16F877A Starter board UART pins.

UART Pin	Controller Pin
RX	PORTC.7
TX	PORTC.6

Code

Below is the sample code to transmit a string at 9600 baud rate.
Refer the uart.c/uart.h files for more functions.

	#include "uart.h"
	int main()
	{
	UART_Init(9600);
	while(1)
	{
	UART_Printf("Welcome to PIC Serial Programming by ExploreEmbedded\n\r");
	}
	return (0);
	}
