Hi mackrackit,

I've re-cheched my connections:

PIC12F683 on my PICKit1.

I've got common pin5 on the DB9 cable (yellow) going to VSS PIC pin8.

I've got pin3 on the DB9 cable (red) going to GPIO.0 PIC pin7.

And pin2 on the DB9 cable (brown) going to GPIO.2 PIC pin5.

Pin 5
Common, ground, zero rail...
This must be connected to both devices for any serial to work.

Pin 2
Data is sent to the PC via this pin. PIC® -->> PC

Pin 3
Data is sent to the PIC® via this pin. PIC® <<-- PC

So data is coming from the pc onto GPIO.0

data is going from the PIC to pc on GPIO.2

How does that look / sound?
