Another RS232 question...

It's not like Chuck to leave things out, hmmmm!

Well, this is what I use for RS232 Comm to PC.

Pin 6 = DSR "Data Set Ready"
Pin 7 = RTS "Request To Send"

Portb.1 is wired to the max232 TTL output. Portb.2 is wired to the max232
TTL input.

Try: serout portb.2, t2400, ["hello", 10, 13]

Have managed to make the circuit work! Another question though..I am using the rs232 port to receive the result from an a/d conversion measuring a potentiometer...is there any clever way instead of getting line after line the results to somehow clear the screen of the terminal so i can get only one message like "DC Voltage: xx" where only the xx value will change ?

if you have some hability with Visual Basic, you can do a simple terminal program in 10-15 minutes. Use MSComm and in MsComEvent when you receive EOT character (26) clear the text box you use to display your data.
