where you have "<esc>" in your code, that generally means the ASCII character "Escape" similar to how you see "<cr>" for carriage return.

Try replacing that with 27 or $1B and see how you get on. (No difference between them except that 27 is decimal and $1B is hex.)

@9600 baud AND using the internal OSC AND using SEROUT2, it's high unlikely that it will work. Using DEBUG or HSEROUT may work.

with HSEROUT, use the following DEFINEs

DEFINE HSER_RCSTA 90h ' Enable serial port & continuous receive
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA 24h ' Enable transmit, BRGH = 1
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG 25  ' 9600 Baud @ 4MHz, 0.16%
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1 ' Clear overflow automatically

For ANY reliable serial comm, you really want to use a crystal or a ceramic resonator.

still canot get serial lcd driver to work
when i use hserout i dont get anything
with the above commands

and really nothing shows on my scope as anything from the pic627a
using pin 8 labeled tx
is this the correct pin

does not work with or without max

really unsure which is correct
about to return to the lcdout command and hookups
just wanted to save pins
