Hyperterminal Protocal

[Blind Al]

Would anyone know which protocal to use with Hyperterminal for serial port Pic to PC and PC to Pic communication. It shows things like X Modem, Y Modem and such. I've read about the ASCII, Decimal, Binary issues on the forum but am unsure about the Hyperterminal Protocal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Blind Al

You communicate in ASCII to the chips. what Xmodem Y modem, and all that is, is a way to transfer files from one computer to another.

Your Hypertermianl is defaulted to ASCII, and this is used to communicate to the chip. if you want to send a file form your computer to your chip (like a text file), you will need to use ASCII transfer to read it on the LCD. If you use other transfer methods, you need to build your own protocal decoder, and then send it to a LCD.
