Hi, I'm working on serial comm with the PICDEM2+ board, so I know that the hardware is right. I'm also able to successfully get serial data to "Hyperterminal" on the the PC. Setting to ANSI terminal type. Everything seems alright, until I started experimenting with CR & LF commands. I've experimented with the order, CR then LF, LF then CR, CR with no LF, etc.....nothing seems normal. Here's how it's supposed to look: Hello... 12345 Hello again.... Here's how it really looks: Hello... 12345 Hello again.... Anyone know what's going on? It doesn't accept a Carrage return by itself or even when used following a linefeed....
