yes...PIC C Lite does have a 'serial' file in the samples directory, but it seems really complex, and uses RA2&3 as I/O, whereas i need to use RC3....
is it as simple as changing the relevent TRIS and PORT registers to change these to RC3?....i still dont understand how i'd use the functin tho; theres no obvious 'copy your byte here, then call 'sendfuncxxxx' explanation, and no readme...
thanks for the quick response, and sorry if this is all really basic....
