HELP! HSER issues from old to new

[wdmagic]

that didnt help unfortunatly. I did get some stuff to work, as it seems I forgot my TRIS statement which always causes problems
however here is my updated code

Include "12F1572.bas"
DEFINE OSC 20

DEFINE ADC_BITS 16 ' A/D number of bits
DEFINE ADC_CLOCK 3 ' Uses A/D internal RC clock
DEFINE ADC_SAMPLEUS 50 ' Set sampling time in us

define HSER_BAUD 9600
DEFINE HSER_BITS 8
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1

ADCON0.7 = 0
TRISA = 0

A VAR WORD 'Stores 16 Bit Analog Reading
B VAR byte 'Temp Holder

mainloop: 
ADCIN 3, A   'Grab analog input from pin3
porta.2 = 0
Hserout [a,13,10]		' Send char out serial port
pause 250
porta.2 = 1
pause 250
goto mainloop		' Do it all over again

now if i chage

Hserout [a,13,10]

to

Hserout ["help",13,10]

then i get help on the computer.
still at a loss here, I'm missing something

I think you are sending out the binary value of a and not the converted to ascii value.

your HSEROUT should be something like this:

HSEROUT [dec5 a,13,10]

or

HSEROUT [#a,13,10]
