Re:- Blue LED dims - check your breakout board connections

Breakout board Tx pin goes to PIC Rx pin
Breakout board Rx pin goes to PIC Tx pin

If you have connected Tx to Tx and Rx to Rx it would explain why the blue LED dims

Phil,

You are a genius! I have no idea how you figured out my mistake. But yes, I connected the Tx to Tx and Rx to Rx. Seemed totally logical to me, and sadly still sort of does. Now that I flipped them as you suggested, it works and "Hello World" repeats over and over on the laptop. Sweet!!! I will play around with a faster xtal later and report back, and I am still looking into the Max232 as per Dave's suggestion.

More reading to do, but first have to clean the house up for New Years, although I would rather play with this.

Thanks again!
Patrick

The MAX232 is not needed now, I thougt it may have been the signal that needed inverted, not the wires.

Hi, that's a very common mistake. Many of us have done that before . I want to give it a try to this module and your code. Although, my ultimate goal is to communicate with my Android smartphone using Basic for Android.
