MCSPlus serial interface to EasyPIC6 not working?

Yes , you need a cable that goes from
2 to 3
and
3 to 2
and
5 to 5

Go down to radio shack and get a couple of connectors. Roll you own.

In fact, as I tried to describe in my above post, the way the MAX202 is wired in the EasyPic6 to the Female DB9 connector it does crossover the 2 to 3 and 3 to 2 pins from the cable so that the signals are correct when they get to the MCU. See the schematic I posted above.

Thanks so much for all your help with this. I would appreciate an explanation of my question regarding HSERIN [X] versus HSERIN [DEC X].

I did not get the cross over part of your other post...

The DEC thing
If like this

'Only numbers will work
HSERIN [DEC X]
HSEROUT [DEC X,$d,$a]

'Letters and numbers
HSERIN [X]
HSEROUT [X,$d,$a]

'Only receive numbers and output ASC||
'66 will return B
HSERIN [DEC X]
HSEROUT [X,$d,$a]

'Will receive letters and numbers and output decimal
'B returns 66 and 13 -- carriage return
HSERIN [X]
HSEROUT [DEC X,$d,$a]
