Hi. Ive got a pic chip which outputs serial to a PC. My app in VB isnt getting any input at all. Ive tried hyper terminal and i do get an input but its not reliable.

I have a 100K resistor going from the serial pin to ground (also tried without this). Is there anything else im supposed to do on my circuit for this to work? I have another chip which uses the serial output from the same port and that is accepting commands fine.

This one is slightly more important than my last thread so i would apreciate a quick response. Let me know if you need any more info
