two serial ports

[Scampy]

Thanks again,

I'll see if the PC application needs that action, and if not I'll try re-write the section that deals with sending and receiving data from the PC to use serial coms, thus leaving the hardware port on the PIC to deal with cons to the GLCD driver board, which for some reason or another accepts the modifiers DEC 1 etc

Well after a lot of head scratching I have it working. No matter what I tried it still work and kept halting - Off board Tabsoft stated it worked fine for him using PBP3 so I downloaded the 15 day trial, confirmed it worked, but then as it screwed up my pbp2.60 setting, un-installed it and pointed MSC back at the PBP2.6 folder... tried again and it worked (WT* and other expletives filled the air at this point)

Anyway, just to clear things up, I now have the GLCD running via a driver board using PORTB.0 and software serial commands (SEROUT2) and the PC application communicates with the PIC via an FTDI chip on the PICs hardware UART - and it updates juts fine

Rightt onto the next part of tidying up the menus before replacing the FTDI chip with an ES8622 Wi-Fi module - stand by guys, no doubt I'll have a few more questions for you.

On a serious note, I want to publically shout out a big THANK YOU to Tabsoft for all his help and contributions, both on and off the board - I'm also slowly understanding more of what I'm doing, and how PBP and it's commands work
