MicrochipC/Microchip_PIC_Serial_RS232: Examples of getting RS232 serial ports up and running for various Microchip PIC microcontrollers.
RS232 serial comms with PIC16x and PIC18x
For more C sample code, see www.MicrochipC.com.
Shows how to get a serial port up and running for a PIC16F876, PIC18F252 or PIC18F452.
Includes full schematics, PCB, component list, C code and lots of instructions.

From readme.txt:
How to interface a PIC16F876 to a computer via RS232 serial comms, with Hi-Tech C and VB6 source code.
##What you need
- PIC16F876 on a breadboard.
- Schematic diagram for hardware (see the .gif file and the Protel 99 .sch file)
- MAX232 or SIPEX232 or MAX3222 (theres a lot of them around) serial chip for converting 5/0V logic levels of PIC to +13V/-13V logic levels of the RS232 port on a PC.
- Four capacitors above 1uF or more.
- A terminal program, such as HyperTerm for Windows for examining output from RS232 port.
##Instructions
- Program your PIC with the supplied .hex file. Remember to get the crystal speed correct.
- Get the schematics, including PIC, MAX232, etc working correctly.
- Run HyperTerm, using the supplied com1-19200.ht link.
- The link is set up with:
- COMx, N,8,1, 19200bps, no flow control
- Local echo on, send line ends with line feeds, wrap lines (file.. properties.. settings.. ascii setup.. "echo typed characters locally" and "send line ends ..." and "wrap lines"
- Apply power to the PIC, and you should see the following come up in HyperTerm:
PICTest (c)2001 Shane Tolmie - see http://www.workingtex.com/htpic
Starting up serial @ 19200 baud, N,8,1, no flow control ...
This program tests the serial port. It displays the text string '[alive]'
every few seconds, and echoes back to the user the ascii value of the pressed
key, plus one (+1), ie: putch(getch()+1)
If the following test returns [pass] the EEPROM has been all initialized to
0xEE by the downloaded .hex file (see eep_init.c). If [fail] it prints out the
EEPROM contents for your examination.
Testing EEPROM ... [pass]
Key pressed:
[alive] [alive] [alive] [alive] [alive] 12 [alive] 34
- As you can see, the PIC is communicating with the host computer. Notice how it echoes back everything you type, +1 ascii character, so typing '1' echos back '2'.
- To work out how Visual Basic connects to the PIC, see the attached archive 'visual basic 6 terminal example.zip'. It is taken directly from the MSDN archive.

How to interface a PIC18F242 or PIC18F452 to a computer via RS232 serial comms, with Hi-Tech C and VB 6 source code.
What you need:
- PIC18F242 or PIC18F452 on a breadboard.
- Schematic diagram for hardware(see the .gif file and the Protel 99 .sch file).
- A 20Mhz crystal (or something else), with 22pF capacitors. See datasheet.
- A 10k pullup on pin 1 of the micro.
- MAX232 or SIPEX232 or MAX3222 (theres a lot of them around) serial chip for converting 5/0V logic levels of PIC to +13V/-13V logic levels of the RS232 port on a PC. Four capacitors above 1uF or more.

- As you can see, the PIC is communicating with the PC. Notice how it echoes back everything you type.
