Request - Hyperterminal tutorial

[presario1425]

I would like to put out a request for a short and easy tutorial on how to interface a PIC with HyperTerminal. What I’m looking for is:

1) A schematic so that I know what is required specifically for the PIC-to-PC connection (the clock, power supply etc. can be left out as I know how to do those)

2) A simple PBP file that teaches me how to input some data (for example, an integer from the keyboard) into a PIC and get an output on the HyperTerminal.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You don't need to wait for a tutorial... just go do it... if you don't play - you don't learn!

2nd posting in the thread tells you how to hook up your PIC to your PC... or look at the code!

Thanks Melanie.

Hi! If you plan to interface to a PC for more than just a few projects, you may want to buy a USB to TTL serial adapter. Here's a link for one place in Western Canada, where I live;

Also, I would bet Digikey sell them and Digikey seems to be everywhere.

One last note, Mr. E had a post a while back where he reccomended a program called RealTerm? The application is way better than Hyperterminal and easy to use. It's here;

Hi, Steve

Not bad, but i prefer the one i begun some times ago. AND i can access the whole COM PORT range 1-256

MicroCode Studio Serial Communicator is nice too. For simple test and ease of use, it's perfect.

I have a question I hope someone can help me with; When using Hyperterminal or RealTerm, is the presentation of the data shown limited to carraige returns and linefeeds (13,10)? Is there anyway to show columns of data for example? I am assuming I would need to build a VB application for anything more elaborate?

Thanks.
