Okay, here's the skinny:
I plan to use the hardware USART in the 16F876A. The software shouldn't be too hard to figure out I just need to set up the BRG and play with the registers as the datasheet dictates, I just need to get a few questions answered:
I plan to at least begin figuring out the interfacing using Hyperterminal on the PC end. The MAX232 has hookups for Tx, Rx, CTS and RTS/DTR.
I have the option to either use RTS/DTR on the RTS line, or (believe it or not) the DTR line. Which would work for Hyperterminal?
More importantly, I know to hook up Rx to Rx and Tx to Tx, but what would I hook CTS and RTS/DTR up to?
