Hello All,
I would like some advice on how I can get my Hyperterminal program to display a worded message from a bit stream sent by my PIC16F88.
My current project is set up as follows:-
My PIC16F88 recieves three '1' or '0' inputs from a set of switches (these switches are simulating another PICs outputs).
In my code (help also needed), I assign worded messages to each combination of 1s and 0s. E.g. Recieve 101, Send message "FAIL".
This message, in binary, is then sent through one pin of the PIC, through a MAX232 converter and into my PC via a serial port.
I do not need to send data to the PIC, just need to display a message related to the input from the switches.
So, my main question is this......
Can this be done the way I have explained it? And if I assign all letters in my message with the correct ASCII code and choose the ASCII selection in Hyperterminal, will my message, e.g. "FAIL", appear on my monitor?
Any help is greatly appreciated, keep up the good work!
