Haha, you make it sound soooooooooo easy :P

I was hoping that this would help with my serial comm's issue but it hasn't lol. Maybe try another PIC, one with a serial interface built in perhaps?!

I'll persist with this PIC for now and try to do some error-checking handshaking.

I can say that I've definitely learned something today

Best regards to all
