Hello, Sorry for the messy email message, I sent it from the webmail, and it has an error :( I tried to send it from Outlook, but the SMTP server is not functional at this time :( If you can view the message in HTML format it would appear correctly. The code is written in C language for HiTech C Compiler, which is widely used, so I didn't considered necessary to mention. The operations for the initialisation of USART are basic, so the assembler code should be no problem, considering that other code (for LCD and keypad) compiled successfully. Could it be any problem if I connected Tx to Rx to test the code ? I should get the characters sent back to Rx and from there to LCD, but nothing arrives.

[Code deleted] I have no idea what language you are using. it's clearly not MPASM like. You don't say, and I'm not going to guess. > From my point of view, the code is correct and it should function. Maybe, but you can never be 100% sure before you have checked the ASM code produced by whatever tool you uses. Then write a short "pure" ASM piece of code that does the same thing, and debug from that. Jan-Erik. PS. I'd sugest that you try to make sure that your lines are about 70 chars long, either by configuring your mail tool, or just simply by using the ENTER key now and then.
