ok, ive decoded the VAR, at "zero" it does infact read 149 , and it does apear correct, if i use 2400 baud, on pic, it will get the readouts i expect, now mr e , can u tell me where to start lookin into to declare logical parameters using ascii,

for instance

___
if PLS = (o with 2 dots above it) then rled = 0 : lled = 0

___

also ive not found a table of ascii , from 1 - 200, i find 1- 12x, and then a seprate one for 12x - 200 , from my reading i find that the "extended ascii" tables are posibly not standard,

is there a peritcular one that i can depend on bieng standard for pic use,

how do i refrence ascii characters, this is compleatly new to me
