PC serial port funny

[mister_e]

OK then, so i'll stop it here and skip the USART interrupt. In meantime, maybe you could use/read some part of what i've include.

What i did is to use a fixed string format using DEC5 modifier on the PIC side

hserout ["aa",DEC5 WordA]

So it always send 7 bytes to the PC

and on the PC side, i split the incoming string in 2 parts

        sWichOne = Mid(IncommingData, 1, 2)     ' get the header (two first character)
        wValue = Val(Right(IncommingData, 5))   ' get the value (5 last character)

Where IncommingData = MSComm1.Input, sWichOne hold the "aa", "bb" or else 2 character header, wValue hold the decimal value after the header.

no big deal.
