Dave, I began to wonder if in my process of converting your ConnectOne example code to my 16F886 MCU and my parsing of the code into subroutines that I could call from my application might have done something that screwed up its ability to communicate with the iChip module. So I went back to your original example code which is a lot simpler and modified it slightly so it is supposedly compatible with 16F886, without parsing into subroutines. Below is the resulting code where I have annotated where it stops and won't execute any further. Still looks like I can't get communication with the iChip. Would appreciate you trying it to see if you can get it to communicate with your module.

I also tried using the AT+iFD command to reset the iChip to Factory Defaults, in hopes that it would connect.....I did this because of this quote in the iChip WiFi Configuration Manual which says " Assuming all WiFi related parameters are cleared to their default value, as is the case after a Factory-Defaults setting (AT+iFD), iChip will attempt to associate and connect to the closest available Access Point (AP) that does not have any security configured. " I used this statement to try to do this and it won't even compile as if there is a syntax error: SEROUT2 TX,6 [ "AT+iFD",$d ,$a ] 'Set iChip to Factory Defaults
I don't see anything wrong with this. Any ideas why this won't compile?
