read the manual lots of info to digest maybe i missed it
but only reference to pin # says to look at the pic documentation
thats fine but how are the labled?

does the 16f877a have these wre this something on newer pics

Page 75 and 79 of your PBP manual...2nd paragraph of each page. Compare that to Page 111 of the 16F877 datasheet.

when i purchased pbp it was because it was simple to use and did not require
master in programming or microchip documentation or much assembly
that has not been the case with what i have done so for
read the pic manual pg 113 which talks about this
all i wanted was a description of how the pins for this were labled
so i coulkd test this part of the pbp manual

guess i am over my head again do not see descriptors
i know there are pin liabled rx and tx but these are being used to connect to mcs

I was just trying to learn you something so you could figure other stuff out in the future...
HSERIN = receiving serial data = USART receiver = RX
HSEROUT = transmitting serial data = USART transmitter = TX
If the RX and TX on your particular chip in your particular system are already being used by something else, such as the MCS (which is what?), then you probably can't use HSERIN/HSEROUT without circuit mod's.

i know and i appreicate that however just at the begining stage and only a hobby
so just trying to get some experience with pbp not pics
mcs is microstudio plus

does this pic have hserout2???

[jcleaver]

i guess my main problem is i am trying to get data to a serial lcd driver
and cant get it to work even though there seems to be data from the pic
thats why i wanterd to try the various commands for serout to get this working this seems to be a tough area for me

thanks

Questions for Jack:
Why do you want to use HSERIN, HSEROUT? Do you know why they are not Serin and Serout? Or HSERIN2? HSEROUT 2?The masked man wants you to know those things that is why he keeps pushing the manual to you. See then you can ask questions which makes everyone's brain hurt, that is why we all do this, it's for the pain

What does the datasheet say as far as the number of USARTs (also reference the PBP manual, page 78, 2nd paragraph)?

I understand you're trying to get experience with MCS/PBP and not PICs, but what is MCS/PBP without a PIC? Just an expensive text editor...
