I got 2 rs232 port on receiver. one is for debugging, one is for receiving data from sensor.
However, it only generates rubbish on the screen, but not "Hello World"

How to display data from other PIC via rs232?

cheers

It sounds like your baud rate is slightly off. Try rechecking your baud rate generation and make sure it's correct.
