hey everyone i need help with connecting my garmin gps via a rs232 to a 18f4620 using usart. plz could someone tell me how to connect them and what other pins should i use on the 18f and what should i leave not connected? i've already figured out the oscillator connection (I have to use a crystal oscillator) i saw the diagram in the 18f datasheet. And further more i've been searching everywhere to find the program that i should use so that the pic receives the input correctly, i have MPLAB IDE and i can't find how to program my pic on it, if someone has such a program or the generale guidlines that i should use to configure my pic to receive from the gps via the rs232 please help me.
