smurf.gif· Pete,

I am using uarts 0,1,2,3,4 on the Javelin.
I tried using·5 and it throws an exeption.
Do you know if i reached the limit·and If so
can that be extended?

Thanks,

Jeff

    You can run 6 VP's simultaneously, eg. 6 uarts, 5 uarts + Timer, or
    any other VP combination.
    You can declare more than 6 uarts. Stop one uart to start another.

    I usually use
    VP0 = Timer
    VP1 = transmit uarts (I only keep 1 TX uart running at any time)
    VP2,VP3,VP4,VP5 = receive uarts and other VP (like PWM, DAC, ADC)

    regards peter

    smile.gif·Pete,

    Stopping one and starting another is

    the key I was looking for!

    Thank you as always!
