[quote="BebopALot"]Thanks Guenther, and I do have your book. 

Here is a great how to schematic : (go to page 4) [url]http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/cols/nv/vol6/col/nv125.pdf[/url] with the SX28.

And if you don't want to buy the pieces individually, this URL has them pre-made to snap right into your board -[url]http://www.awce.com/rs1.htm[/url].

On the PC side of it would you use hyperterminal , c or Java - which would you use?[/quote]

Here is another one w/o the need for a MAX-232: [url]http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/schem/bs2revf.pdf[/url].

Which program to be used on the PC side mostly depends on the format you are sending the data points. When you send pure binary values from 00000000 00000000 up to 00000011 11111111, most terminal programs will have trouble as they interpret incoming data as coded characters, e.g. ASCII chars. You might use a terminal program to capture the incoming data into a file that you can read and interpret later with a program you would have to write. Maybe, you use VB to write an application that also handles capturing the incoming data because the MSComm object that comes with VB is pretty nice to handle.

All what I'm saying here is kinda guesswork because you did not post any information about the format of the data points you are going to handle - this makes it difficult to give you a good hint.
