serial coms - again

[malc-c]

Hi Henrik,

I've tried that and it does make a difference, it drops it down to 005 rather than 051, so DEC3 tends to shift things one place to the right.

I've changed Pauls suggestion so it displays the bombed out value on the LCD

Term_RX:
    HSERIN[nTest]
    SELECT CASE nTest
    CASE "S"
TempWD = 0
	HSERIN 1000,RX_Bombed,[DEC3 TempWD]
	normtemp[0] = TempWD
	    gosub send    
	RETURN
RX_Bombed:
	lcdOUT $FE,$D4,"all we got was", dec TempWD
end select 
return

And the first time I launched the application and booted the PIC I got a result on the screen. I then entered another value and the LCD reported that it bombed with a result of 0. This happens on all subsequent tries, even with the PIC and application being re-started - it seems I get a result first time the PC application is launched.... but no every time - it seems random.... would reducing the baud rate give better results ?
