Re: Serial communication help

Here's an example program that uses one of the digital outputs to send serial commands to an LCD screen.

Some mods will be necessary to make it compile with the latest MCC18 compiler though. This used v2.4 although the serial part of it is generic and doesn't care.

Commanding it via a laptop through the program port is fairly easy as well.
