I agree (with both people :-) ). Jason needs to learn to use more detail in describing what he is trying to achieve. Especially so when at the edge of his knowledge envelope. This is a good place to be BUT needs extra details in order to get best assistance. Jason: Are you trying to use asynchronous or synchronous mode? Do you / did you know the difference? Where die you get the idea for your code? What pins (pin functions) do you expect to use to communicate with? Why? Small text essay required.
