Hi all, I know nothing about JAVA, but am considering using it? I was wondering if anyone has tried using a Java application to = communicate with a PIC via the RS232 port? i.e. as a stand alone = program. My idea was to get info from the real world via a PIC, say as numerical = data from 1 to 100, then display it on a PC as a colourful Bargraph, = like you see on HIFI amplifiers etc, all this happens in real time.=20 Is this possible?
