SEROUT Just Garbage!

[SteveB]

Can someone suggest any terminal emulator I could use?

I use Tera Term. I find it much easier to use than hyperterminal. But, and I am speaking in the blind a little hear, I don't know if you can invert the singnals from the terminal software. Either way, you may find you like Tera Term, and it's FREE!

I'm not talking about inverting the data on your terminal.

You have to do it in the PIC. There are two options on SEROUT - one TRUE and one INVERTED. Use the INVERTED option.

Looking at the code I was given I see

tx_pin = 0 'inverted mode idle state
Could maybe try that on RX_pin...
Are you trying the code and chip I was given?

I'm using both hyper term and micro code one both work fine with formal settings and im using xp.

Well,

It took me a while to find out how to calculate the correct "mode" value for the SEROUT2 command. Finally, it works well (on both PICs 12F675 and 16F88).

I still don't understand the difference between the SEROUT and the SEROUT2 commands. I read the Micro Code Studio's help files but they are not very clear to me. Or is it only that SEROUT handles "only" 8 bits and SEROUT2 can handle up to 9 bits?

My previous post sounds now a little stupid but what can be crystal clear for you can be foggy to me... Thank you for your patience.

Glad you got it working

I am very new to all this as well so I don't understand a lot either... The important thing tho is you have it working and now know how to get another working
