hi there!
first of all i want to congratulate all users in this forum because you are making this forum very interested! well done!
now,i am a newbie in both using the PICBasic and the pic 16F877 and i wish to make communication between the pic and the pc.From the datasheet,i found out that the pic has a USART and that port C has TX and RX pins.i concluded that i can communicate with the pc directly using USART (i.e. without using any max232) and this is what i wish to do.
i wish to interface the pic using portc only (because i am using the other ports for other devices like lcd etc) and without using any max232 but my problem is that i don't know how to make both the hardware interface (i do not wish to make a mistake and "burn" the pc serial port) and the programming part (because i am new to PICBasic although i have read many posts here and discovered some codes like SERIN,SEROUT etc).
can you pls help me?
Thank You
