pic 18F46k80 EUART - uart

Question

i´m trying to transfer data to computer via EUSART. I have already set all the configurate bits but serial communication still not working well. I receive only wrong data in my Pc. Here is my code for setting uart (i am using mplab compiler XC8):
TRISC6 = 1; \\ set in datasheet
TRISC7 = 1; \\ set in datasheet
SPBRG1=25; \\ 4 MHz oscilator
SPBRGH1=0;
TXSTA1bits.BRGH = 1; \\ high speed uart
BAUDCON1bits.BRG16 = 0; \\ 8 bit data
TXSTA1bits.TX9 = 0;
TXSTA1bits.SYNC = 0; \\ asynchronus mode
RCSTA1bits.SPEN = 1; \\ enable serial port
INTCONbits.GIE = 0; \\ set off interrupt
TXSTA1bits.TXEN = 1; \\ transmitter is enabled
while (1) {
TXSTA1bits.TXEN = 1;
//UART_Write_Text("Bye pic \n");
TXREG = 76;
__delay_ms(100);
TXSTA1bits.TXEN = 0;
}
Thanks for help

Answer 1

The transmit buffer register must be empty before loading the next byte to send. From the data sheet: "Once the TXREGx register transfers the data to the TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREGx register is empty and the TXxIF flag bit is set."
It appears the object is to repeatedly send 'L' at 9600 baud with a delay to allow the host to process the received data. So change to last lines to:
TXSTA1bits.TXEN = 1;
while(1){
while (PIR1bits.TX1IF == 0);
TXREG = 76;
__delay_ms(100);
}

This is my code with configurate bits my external oscilator is for 100% 4 MHz and i dont have oscilloscope :(
