OK, I wired up the serial port and, using the built-in serial port com tool in MicroStudio, I am able to see information from PORTC.6; however the data (which I thought would be 1s and 0s) is coming out all garbled as weird characters and zeros with square edges.

I am using the SEROUT2 command:


Tie your pin to ground with a Resister. That way it is a definite "0". If the pin is left floating, you can get all kinds of garbage...

then, make sure you use a slow baud rate...2400 is good starting place. Make sure it has the right parity.
