(I apologize for sending it again, I forgot to put the PIC in the brackets[]) Hi, I am new to PIC and I am trying to establish communication through the PIC and the PC. I connected the MAX232 to the RC7/RX and RC6/TX pins of the PIC and the T1Out/R1in Pins(of max) to the female 9-pin serial socket which is connect to the PC through a straight through cable. In the PC side I have tried to use the Hyperterminal but no luck. (Of course I also connected the required capacitors to the max) That I want if you have or know a webpage that has a complete example with the code(.asm) needed for the PIC and how to configure the software for the PC. I spent a great time searching but I could find something useful. Thanks in advance and wishes for a Happy New Year, Haris P.S. Also a good documentation for beginners about RS-232 will be useful. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
