Hi,

I used a pic to talk directly to hypeterminal using debug and series resistors.

I thought I was doing the right thing by inserting a max232.

Now my code dont work!

I noticed in the the max inverts the data in as well as out.

Does the pic now get fussy, or do I need to use a different comms command?

I am using the max to achieve greater range, and eusudo multidrop.

Check your command.
You're probably using inverted RS232.

Yep, You were correct!

I checked the code and all I had to do was select True mode in Debug.

Thks for the response.
