How to drive the Vinculum VDIP1 in UART mode

[camolas]

Hi,

My VDIP2 just came my starting point it will be sending from my pic 16f877a a simple word to pc.
Ive some doubts:

1- Thas CTS pin is connected to GND and "RstVDIP1 var portb.4 'active LOW reset line to VDIP1" port in the above code?
2- There is a need to put same resistors or others things on the 4 vdip2 and 4 pic conections?
3- What new firmware did you put to updat the vdip and please can explain me the how to precess?

Im very new at this and do not have much money to kill a 32 euros part.

I hope that you can hellp me on this because by my one the only thing that i can get its going to be a dead vdip modul.


Thanks
