Thanks. This is the best serial help I've found on here. I am having some issues with it and was wondering if you had the same problem or know what's up.
I am using picBasic pro with a direct serial connection on a 18f4550.

I try to send some numbers, but it's not showing up in acknex properly.
I added "file_open_write" code to create a log file of my input because it was too fast to see on screen.
As one example I am trying to send just one number, but it ends up showing 2 numbers in my log.

serout2 portC.6, 813, [77] 'sends 77 out at 1200 baud

what I end up seeing in acknex (also set up for 1200) was:
60
127
60

as 3 seperate inputs
I also tried it with binary, hex, dec. So the code here might be for one of those too, but none of them come through as 77.

any ideas?
