strange serout2 problem

[KaanInal]

Hi everyone, and happy new year

I am trying a rs232 communication. I use 16f84a. I am a beginner in electronics.
This problem seems strange:

I use hyper terminal. I have a Max232 circuit with Sub-D 9-F. I also send the schematic of the circuit (my source is http://sodoityourself.com/max232-ser...vel-converter/ )

Here is the problem, controller led is blinking but there is nothing on hyper terminal

    
    OutGoing VAR Byte
    OutGoing = "K"    
    

    D_Forwarder VAR PORTB.3  'data forwarder
    
    Forwarder VAR PORTA.1  ' Controller led      
 
 PAUSE 500
 
main:
        SEROUT2 D_Forwarder,396,["O",OutGoing ] '2400 baud rate
        HIGH Forwarder    
        PAUSE 100
        LOW Forwarder

goto main

But in this code, while the led is blinking i also see both of the O and K characters, it works.

    
    OutGoing1 VAR Byte
    OutGoing1 = "K"  
 
    OutGoing2 VAR Byte
    OutGoing2 = "S"    
    
    D_Receiver PORTB.2       'data receiver
    D_Forwarder VAR PORTB.3  'data forwarder
    
    Forwarder VAR PORTA.1  ' Controller led     
    Receiver VAR  PORTA.0   ' Controller led  
 
 PAUSE 500
 
main:
        SEROUT2 D_Forwarder,396,["O",OutGoing1 ] '2400 baud rate
        HIGH Forwarder    
        PAUSE 100
        LOW Forwarder

        SEROUT2 D_Receiver ,396,["O",OutGoing2 ] 
        HIGH Receiver 
        PAUSE 100
        LOW Receiver 

goto main

Is this correct?

This line in the program you say works should cause the program to not compile.

D_Receiver PORTB.2       'data receiver

You forgot the VAR.

I erased it accidently, sorry There is a VAR over there, it compiles.
