Great thanks.

I am using a 16f690 and have the display working fine. The problem is that I am trying to display a ADC_read value and it displays garbage when I turn the pot? The garbage changes when I turn it. Am I using the wrong type or something? Pot is connected to AN2. // Lcd module connections sbit LCD_RS a...

Damn Arduino screwing with me Thanks.

I jump around between AVR, microchip and other Pics. I am using a 16F690 microchip for a simple program. My problem is I only get one execution of the main then it stops? Is this right? Do I have to do the looping myself? // Lcd module connections sbit LCD_RS at RC0_bit; sbit LCD_EN at RC1_bit; sbit...

Well I am new here and would like to thank everyone for your help. I do not know what the deal is with bug reports and stuff but thanks. I put the new file in and vola works perfect. I just about gave up so thanks Barry for finding the problem. I only wasted about 8 hours on it but sounds like other...

Try Typing 1234 ok I tried that and no go. I stuck a uart_write "type" in the While loop and it just continuously prints that. Should it be looping through that code? I thought it was to wait for 10 characters then continue through the while statement? The data ready seems to always be on. It just ...

Okay I am getting the ready when I type something because it is jumping into the loop but will never send anything back??????

okay, getting somewhere. I changed the clock to 8Mhz and your code works. I get the please wait 5 times then ready. I can't get the "ok" part to work yet, I will keep playing . Thanks a lot.

When I put my meter on the RX I can see the voltage drop if I send a bunch of stuff from the pc so I assume that the signal is getting through the Max232. The voltage drops from 4.7 to 4.2. There must be a clock setting wrong or something within the pic because it seams like my circuit is working......

Well still no go. I tried your code but can't get a talk back. If I power up the pic with the Terminal turned on I get some garbage back but that is it. The garbage is the same almost every time??

It is stuck on waiting for "ok" part.

Both TX and RX are sitting at 5V? Is that right? I have tried turning off the pull-ups but still the same..... I have tested my cable and it is talking back..... any suggestions?

Okay. I have changed the Max chip to a max232 and have it set up using 1uf ceramic caps (everywhere i read said the caps should work). I am using the schematic that is in the Pic basic book online here. I have triple checked my wiring. The only thing I am concerned about is the grounding. I am runni...

Change your baud rate to 9600 and see what happens. I tried that but still nothing. I am going to get some 1uf caps and see what happends. Is there any way to test with a multi meter anything. I have 5V sitting on the TX and RX pins on the pic, 9V and 6V sitting on the TX and RX to the Max chip fro...

The "ok" was the problem. It compiled now. Now I am getting nothing though. I think I may have something not set right in Hyper Terminal or something. I am set at 2400, 8, none, 1 stop and Hardware flow control??? Does this sound right? I am going through a USB to serial converter but that should no...

Sorry, whats a code tag? Do you mean comments?

Thanks I will give it all a try. The Pic is a 16F690.
