This 1829 is actually the PICAXE20M2 that got me started on PIC vs Arduino. I came up on two of them scrapping something and saved them. Later, while going thru stuff, I realized they were MC's, and then what PICAXE was, and here I am..... But the code has been cut and pasted, and gone from MPLABX to MCS so idk....
I wasted many an unhappy day copying and pasting code that did not work.

I would start again and build up the program one step at a time. By adding small portions of code if the code stops working the small modification is the cause.

A good place to start is with the main menu, simply to test HSEROUT and HSERIN. Then take another very small step.
