Hello all,
I have been multiplexing a keypad to my hyperterminal with no problems!
Now I am trying a more simple program from PIC-2-PIC with no success. I have checked all the basics, ADCON settings, baud rates, modes, qualifier and I am stumped. I have included my code in hopes I made a simple mistake someone with more experience will find.

'transmitter pic16f628a
CMCON = 7
include "modedefs.bas"
'all other i/o info
intro:'...all my other stuff
main:
while switch = 0
serout portb.5,n2400,["A",#55] 'I am sending the decimal value 7 to portc of the other pic
pause 1
wend
goto intro
end


'reciever pic16f877
adcon1=7
include "modedefs.bas"

'all other i/o info

main:
serin porta.0,n2400,["A"],B0 'A is the qualifier , then store a decimal number in B0
portc=B0' send 7 to port c so I have C.0, C.1, C.2 leds come on
got main

thanks,
