Well it looks like i found the probleme, i looked over the max232 data sheet and i frogot to connect vcc and gnd

Now i recive the expected output but it wont read the input.

DEFINE OSC 4

'intcon=0 ' Interrupts disabled
cm1con0=0 ' Comparator 1 disabled
cm2con0=0 ' Comparator 2 disabled
'cm2con1=0 ' Comparator 2 disabled

ANSEL=0 ' Pins to be Digital
ANSELH=0 ' Pins to be Digital

Include "modedefs.bas"

DEFINE HSER_RCSTA	90h
DEFINE HSER_TXSTA	24h 'sets bergh = 1 or 20h sets = 0
'define HSER_BAUDCON 0h ' 0h
'DEFINE HSER_BAUD	9600 '16468
DEFINE HSER_SPBRG	25
DEFINE HSER_CLROERR 1

rxVal Var Byte
HSEROUT ["Waitin signal"]
main:
    hserin [rxVal]
    hserout [rxVal]
    'HSEROUT ["Test should work"]
    pause 20
goto main

Any ideas?

And Thx for the help so far, sorry for not checking the schematics better
and im using 232analyzer terminal software

Can you post the schematic?

Something doesn't work with your wiring:

Max232 pin 10 should be connected to pic 16F690 pin 10 (RB7 Tx)

Max232 pin 9 should be connected to pic 16F690 pin 12 (RB5 Rx)

Connect a decoupling capacitor 10nF from Vdd to Vss on pic power pins.

Well it is connected that way pin 10 -> rb7 and pin9 -> rb5

The 16f690 was not in the schematics program but that how i connected it.

but im reading -10v on rs232 pin 3 and 5 is that right?

I dont have a 0,01uf can i use 0,1uf?
wait i think it's on the demo board

Yes! Max232 is a voltage level translator.

I dont have a 0,01uf can i use 0,1uf?

Yes!
