Hyper Terminal Displaying Random Characters [PIC to PC via UART]

[arson88]

BTw, i am using http://www.cytron.com.my/viewProduct...7nn82zcVu7Ut0=
, a USB to UART Converter.

nvm, i got the program right..
INCLUDE “modedefs.bas” ‘ Serial communication mode definition file
DEFINE OSC 20 ‘ Oscillator speed is set to 20MHz
TRISB = %11111111
TRISC = %10000000 ‘ RC.7 => USART RX pin set to input
PortC = 0
SPBRG = 129 ‘ Baud Rate = 9600
‘ Variable definition
‘ ===================
‘
count01 VAR BYTE ‘ variable to store TXREG content
TXSTA = %00100100 ‘ Enable transmit and asynchronous mode
RCSTA = %10010000 ‘ Enable serial port and continuous receive
mainloop:
IF (PortB.7 = 1) THEN
FOR count01 = 1 TO 30
PAUSE 2000
TXREG = count01 + $30 ‘ Transmit Data
HIGH PortD.2
PAUSE 2000
LOW PortD.2
Next
ENDIF
GOTO mainloop
END

The result displayed in Hyperterminal:
ASCII Character: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, :, ; < until the 30th ASCII Character
referred to page 203, PIC MCU With PICBasic [Chuck Hellebuyck]

How do i convert the ASCII characters i received via Visal Basic 2010's serial port into integers?
