Serial Comm startup

[ruijc]

BrianT, sinoteq,

thanks alot for the help.

Actually it's not just the first character but 90% and most of the time 100% of the entire first line .

As a note, i'm using a direct connection from the pic to the serial port.
Also tryed using an 1K resistor between I/O and serial port but the result is the same.

With your experience...what is best ? To use the serial resistor or not ?

Will try your instructions tonight
