Don't quite know what i have done, but i am getting some kind of comms.

If using the text1 box i put a 1 in there and send it, the PIC doesn't do anything. If i use ANY character first, such as Z1, then the LED flashes fine.

I have also put a text box to read a line coming back of the PIC. If a 1 is successfully received then the PIC should output "That Worked". However i'm getting "??????2rked" in VB.

It also takes two button presses in VB, one to send the 1 which will flash the LED, another press gets the garbled "IT WORKED", and then another press will flash the LED again. Who can this be done with one button push. ie, each time the button is pressed it sends the 1 and displays the input message. Do you have any exmaples of what you have done which you wouldn't mind sharing ?

Obvioulsy haven't quite mastered this yet !!

Cheers,

Steve
