I've forgotten the answer to this one...

I'm using the hardware comms on these pic's to send diagnostics data back to laptop.
Except i get hieroglyphics in realterm as follows...

Code:
[z'-KL^Z='-y[:jӯ
This is supposed to say "initialising"
Code:
HSEROUT ["Initialising",10,13]
off the top of my head i can never remember, but is the hardware comms on PIC's inverted compared to a normal RS232 port?
If so, would the 'software' inversion sequence be 255 - (the dec number of the ascii conversion for the character)?

Yes, i do have a max232 that i could use, however, the 'serial port' is actually a cheep USB to serial adapter that uses 5V outputs so a max232 wouldn't properly work...

Thanks
