Hi mackrackit,

The PIC is wired independently and the USB - Serial communicator displays the numbers as per the COM port on the old pc, so no problems so far.

Code:
ANSEL   = %00000000    'Disable analog select so ports work as digital i/o.
CMCON0  = %00000111    'Disable analog comparators.
TRISA   = %00000000    'Set PORTA as OUTPUT.
PORTA   = %00000000    'Set PORTA pins all low.
TRISC   = %00000000    'Set PORTC as OUTPUT.
PORTC   = %00000000    'Set PORTC pins all low.


DEFINE OSC 4

X VAR WORD
Y VAR WORD
Z VAR WORD

main:
Random X
Y = X * 1000
Z = DIV32 21845
SEROUT2 PORTC.3, 16780, [DEC Z, 10, 13]
pause 4000
GOTO MAIN
