Serial cable problems

[skimask]

I did read the entire thread, but i didnt find anything i really couls use. Because i dont realle want to make my own cable, when i have my own. I know i need to power my cable from an external powersupply, but i dont know any voltage range or what else i need to do. I would really aprciate a circuit or something.

Best regards

So, what you're saying is...you have nothing. Even though I don't own any of the hardware in question here, I found everything you probably need to know with a Google search.

How much other programming with the PIC have you done so far? Which PIC are you using? What does you circuit look like with the PIC hooked up? Post the troubled code you are using...
