I have a Olimex PIC-28 board. I have a PIC18F2450 and a ST232 installed.

I have pin 17 on the PIC18F connected to pin 12 on the ST232
I have pin 18 on the PIC18F connected to pin 10 on the ST232

I am using this command in PBP:
SEROUT PORTC.6,T9600,["This is a test"]

I have a scope attached and the PIC pins 17 and 18 are always high, they never change.

Is my wiring wrong? or do I have to set some configuration bits to make this work?

Thanks,
Bob
