VB sending serial data to PIC

[Tissy]

Thanks elektroline, your VB allowed me to compare with what i had and the reason the serial data coming back was goofed was because of one of the setting in Comm1.

I'm still not convinced i have the PIC code right though, does this look right?

As i say, if i send a 1 from VB nothing if i send t1 or a1 or any letter followed by 1, then the LED flashes and the command is sent back to VB.

include "modedefs.bas"

Clear
DEFINE OSC 20          
DEFINE LOADER_USED 1
ADCON1 = %00001111

In      VAR PORTA.5
Out     VAR PORTA.4
Loop    Var Byte
LED     VAR PORTB.1
test    var word

test = 1

TRISB = %10000001       ' Set PORTB (0)INPUT (1-5)OUTPUTS

Start:
   SERIN IN, N2400, [#TEST]
    IF TEST = 1 THEN 
        GOSUB FLASH
    ENDIF

    write 3, test
'    IF test = 1 THEN GOSUB FLASH
    pause 500
'    low PortB.1
    read 3, test
    SEROUT out, N2400, ["That Worked ", #test + 5] ' Senda the wording "That Worked" and a number
GOTO Start

Flash:
    For loop = 1 to 5
        LED = 1
        Pause 100
        LED = 0
        Pause 100

Try changing your "test" variable to a byte. Then don't bother with the serial qualifier, just jump right to the data input, and do a compare.
