I am trying to use serout on pin 0 it my PC. I made the cable that parallax has in the Serout instructions. I have an LCD on pin 0 now too.
·
Code
·
' {$STAMP BS2pe}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}
HIGH 0
PAUSE 1000·································· ; start up LCD
SEROUT 0, 84, [noparse][[/noparse]$12, $16, $C]···········; setup LCD
PAUSE 1000
SEROUT 0, 84, [noparse][[/noparse]"A"]······················· ; send an A to the LCD but in HyperTerminal I get ;:‑_ (so _=A)?
DEBUG "A", CR······························· ; A on debug
SEROUT 16, 84, [noparse][[/noparse]"A"]······················ ; A on debug
·

If you're doing a direct connect to the PC (via a 22K resistor) then try the inverted baudmode.

Mab

Inverted baudmode did it thanks

with the debug terminal both

serout 16, 84 [noparse][[/noparse]"A"]
serout 16, 16468 [noparse][[/noparse]"A"]

will both work. why?

When you use "pin 16", the compiler ignores the "invert" bit.
