Hey all,

I have a Garmin Etrex H which streams serial data in rs232 format. It is simply ASCII characters. A terminal program on my computer receives them and displays them on my screen just fine. Also, my RC is able to send and receive data to and from my terminal program. Both the RC and the Garmin are set to 9600 baud, no parity, and one stop bit.

However, when I attach the Garmin directly into the RC, the RC does not receive any data. I think this is because the RC is waiting for something to start communication with it, and the Garmin is also waiting. How can I open port 1 on the RC and start communication with the Garmin? I'm using Kevin Watson's serial code.

Thanks alot!
