Right so my first post...What I am doing in my project is as follows:
1. I am using the LM35 temperature sensor and converting the analog output into digital using PIC's A/D
2. Then I want to send this output to the PC

Now here are my series of doubts after making lots of efforts on the internet and google.
1. How do I transfer the bits of the digital output which is produced by the A/D and stored in the ADRESH and ADDRESL registers?
2. Will it come out of a port serially?(Do I have to code it that way?)
3.How do I get the readings on the PC side in Hyper Terminal?

break the project into subsections and get each working one at a time.
for example *test the temp sensor with a multimeter.
*get the serial comm working by its self.....

I have done the temp. sensor part...The problem is coming is the serial communication part via USB

I am not too sure...Because I tried implementing their CDC files on my PIC and that gave me an output on the terminal window...I am just finding it hard to figure out what they they did to produce that text on HyperTerminal

I know it's simple using the 16F877A using RS 232 serial commn.

The PicPac has usb code for 18F in BoostC. Google to find it ( Embedded Adventures )

I think that the easiest way is what Nigel had suggested: UBW
This will show up as COM port on the PC, so interfacing should be pretty easy.

Thnks a lot for the info...Having completed this I now want to run this using bluetooth...So is it as simple as replacing the usb cable with usb bluetooth?

So I cant use it right?
Ok...Then
Can anyone suggest me a tutorial for RS232 communication with PC for 18F4500?
