RS232 Test

[Ron]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to test a program that is simply reading the COM port?

Can Hyperterminal be used?

I want to send a single ASCII character from hyperterminal, receive it as a BYTE in flowcode

if BYTE = 50 (R) turn on RB1, then go back and monitor comm port again.
If BYTE = 51 (S) turn off RB1, then go back and monitor comm port again.

Should I be able to do this?

Thanks

Ron

Hello Ron

I have attached a very basic example that will update the LEDs on PortA with a byte value if a byte is received.
