I don't have the prototype(or the code) for the putcUSART (xx) routine, you are sure that doesn't add anything ? or require the char to be printable ?=20 Anyway, I know you said you wanted everything to work in Win-terminal, = but as an debugging aid, get the Terminal program below: http://bray.velenje.cx/avr/terminal/ And enable hex display, then you should get an clearer view of exactly what the PC recieves. If it indeed is what you are assuming, then mark it up as an Win-Terminal 'feature' ;) I loathe the Win-Terminal, yes I know it's included in windows but it = still is really bad. /Tony -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
