I am working on using a pic16f18326 to do some bitcoin mining It's a joke, isn't it? Yes, my feable attempt a pic humor...

Stan, that is awesome! Please post some code to share when you get that going, especially the face part (maybe using bitmaps?). I am working on using a pic16f18326 to do some bitcoin mining. The glcd part is giving me some issues, but once I get a handle on the PPS tool, I should be good. Have you ever tried to overclock the pic? I'm trying to get 128Mhz going to help with the math, but no luck so far. I may have to alter the .dat files to "trick" the compiler into 128mhz. Your thoughts???

Hi zl1hb, on that board PIC16F15376 Xpress Evaluation Board (DM164143), set the pps to use the following pins for tx and rx and it should work perfectly. TX = RB6 RX = RB7 I had success with the pic16f18345 xpress board, so your board should work using the xpress loader batch.

A little digging finds RX on RA0 and TX on RA1. So did a quick test and all is well... #chip 16f18345,32 'Generated by PIC PPS Tool for Great Cow Basic 'PPS Tool version: 0.0.5.11 'PinManager data: v1.55 ' 'Template comment at the start of the config file ' #startup InitPPS, 85 Sub InitPPS UNLOCKPPS 'Module: EUSART RXPPS = 0x0000 'RA0 > RX RA1PPS = 0x0014 'TX > RA1 TXPPS = 0x0001 'RA1 > TX (bi-directional) LOCKPPS End Sub 'Template comment at the end of the config file #define USART_BAUD_RATE 19200...

Well hell's bells. Received the xpress boards with the 16f18345 and can not for the life of me find a schematic to see what pins are used for the rx/tx to the usb, so I could set up the pps. JEEEEEZ Louise. Guess I need to get a couple of needles and chase the traces somehow. WTF....

zl1hb, I have a couple of the DM164141 boards coming on monday. These use the pic16f18345 on board but is still an express board. I will post once I recieve them if the XpressLoader works on these. Hopefully all will work great!!!!

OK. Just ordered 2 of them. Will post back when they arrive. Thanks Evan.

Will GCB work with this Xpress board, or does something special have to be written to be able to program this particular board? http://www.microchip.com/Developmenttools/ProductDetails.aspx?PartNO=DM164141 I am using the Xpress board with the 16F18855 and GCB and it works great. Just want to try this board as the pic is very simular to the 16F18326 that I want to use in a couple of projects.
