SEROUT Just Garbage!

Oh lol yea guess that wouldn't work well thanks... hmm How do you send to serial port on a different serial pin? Now I understand the problem im confused on how to fix it lol.

I seem to have a lot of "Only learning opportunities." but atleast im learning

[mister_e]

how about something like

'12F675
@ __CONFIG _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _WDT_ON & _PWRTE_ON & _MCLRE_OFF & _BODEN_ON
DEFINE OSCCAL_1K 1
INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"
TX_Pin var GPIO.0    'To DB9 RX pin 2
RX_Pin var GPIO.1    'To DB9 TX pin 3

TRISIO.0 = 0         'Set GPIO.0 to output.
TRISIO.1 = 1         'Set GPIO.1 to input     

ANSEL = 0            'disable ADCs
CMCON = 7            'disable comparator

AChar var byte
tx_pin = 0           'inverted mode idle state

achar="A"
Pause 100            'OSC settle time... 

loop:
    SerOut tx_pin,N2400,["Waiting for ",achar,13,10]
    SERIN  rx_pin,N2400,[achar]   
    serout tx_pin,N2400,["Got it...",13,10]
    goto loop

Thank you very much Mister_e that works perfect and will get me a good start on serial

Its so great to have cool people around that help us noobs

[mister_e]

You're welcome. Great to hear it help you.

Have fun!

Mister_e Mind if I email you or ask a non related question here?

[mister_e]

No problem.

geckogrotto,

I'm actually trying to understand a little bit more about serial communication and making some tests on my side too.

I had to use a level converter (MAX232) to make the communication work.

Looking at some posts, I have understand you connected your PIC directly to the PC's serial port (= without converter)?

I must be wrong, no?
