Hello

Im having trouble using the serial port
I'm trying to use the serial port to write but my real running code gets stuck in a While loop
When I run the code thourgh the debugger the code doesn't get stuck in the while loop


void Send (short int byte2send)
{
P2_1 = 0;
while (TI == 0)
{
P2_2 = 0;
}
P2_2 = 1;
TI = 0;
SBUF = byte2send;
P2_1 = 1;
}


The first time I use the Send function the code sticks in the while loop

I set TI = 1
before I use the Send function

I am using RIDE -- Do I need to set my micro in a certain mode for this to work correctly?


Please help

Casey


PS
before send is used
TMOD = 0x20;
Serial port is in mode 1
