HELP! Serial input between Pic and PC (urgent)

[Ioannis]

... you've been a design engineer for what; 20 years?
...

Exactly that. 20 years ago I did not had any internet to help out. So what I did? Read and practice a lot.

... You really need to learn how to bring yourself down to another person's level is probably what I'm trying to say.

I think not she or me or anyone else, "really" need to do that. Others have to work and get up to a proper level. For example I have seen your work on VB6, how good you are and I am trying hard to understand that lanquage with the programs you have posted. I could say that I am areally newbie but will not annoy you to teach me how to write a simple command line...

Of course we will help, but they have their share too.

I've had heaps of assistance learning VB6. I don't take any of it for granted and the people that helped me out online didn't either. The programs that I wrote in VB6 this time two years ago were absolute rubbish until I discovered Planet Source Code on the world wide web. If you need any help I will point you in the right direction. No problems.

Hi Ioannis,

Do u meant i was annoyed you to teach me how to write a simple command line? If yes, then i think i should apologize to you. Sorry for disturbing...

Actually not quite six... hmmm... I hope I still look like my picture in 14 years time...

I don't understand the ironic attitude. Did not the answer #2, #4, #8 really helped you solve the problem at the utmost polite way? Ohh, people...

Actually not quite six... hmmm... I hope I still look like my picture in 14 years time...

I think you will look great even after 30 years! Engineers are doing proper service's at the set intervals!

Hi Mr.Ioannis,

Actually i really very thankful and appreciate the solution that u given to me. I also not meant that u dint help me but i just scared that i was disturbing you. Now i still try to troubleshooting for the code and my hardware. Hopefully it can be working one day.

Thank you very much

Project instructions:
1. Read the Data Sheet.
2. Read the PIC Basic manual.
3. Read this forum.
4. Use FIRE extinguisher.

5. Post question stating:
A. Every thing you tried
B. Post Your CODE.
C. Post schematic if applicable.

Back to the topic....

Now i still try to troubleshooting for the code and my hardware. Hopefully it can be working one day.

What problems are you still having?

Hi Dave,

1. The attachment is my circuit diagram, pls comment to me if there are something wrong.
Thanks

2. Source Code:
'################################################# #########
Define OSC 10
include "Modedefs.bas"
ADCON1 = 7

TRISA = %010000 'RA4 as serial input, RA3 as serial output
TRISB = 0 'PortB used to ON the LED

CHAR var byte

PORTB = 0

Main:

SERIN PORTA.3,T9600,CHAR

PORTB = CHAR

SEROUT PORTA.3,T9600,[CHAR,10] 'I used hyperterminal to received the data
'that sent to pic

GOTO MAIN
############################################

3. I was try to change the value of OSC but still get the same result. For Example: when i sent "1" from hyperterminal to pic but the result that returned to hyperterminal is " ' " then the result on LED is "11111010". I was checked the ASCII table, the result is not same with the data i sent.

Hi guys,

I'm a new guy where pics are concern, but i'm more experienced with my other hobbys.

Since i dont have anyone that i can learn with i have to teach my self and learn with my mistakes and experiments.

For each hobby i have i also participate in the related forums.

I try to share my experience and try to give my knowledge with the new guys as i remember myself some time before asking for it or came across a dead end as the new guys do now.

Sure for me can be obvious some issue but it can be a hard step for a new guy to go through.

And i know how fustrating can be when hitting a dead end and not having a little help to get arround it. I know some people that leave their hobbys for that.

This is the point of the foruns. For people to share information and experiences. To help the other guy regardless of the question.

Me for example i use datasheet but because i'm a new guy in pic world there are many thing i dont undestand in them !

I've been helped many times here and i believe that if it wasnt for the guys here i wouldnt be able to continue with my learning curve and getting stuck with a flat line !

Sorry for the long post...just wanted to share my humble opinion

The first thing that I see is you have SERIN and SEROUT on the same pin.

SERIN PORTA.3,

SEROUT PORTA.3,

I have never tried A4 for serial

You may have to use another pin.

Right now do not worry about TRISA. The SERIN/SEROUT takes care of that.
