I have a 16F627 circuit with a 232 chip (HIN232CP) connected to the onboard USART. I'm using async mode 9600 baud with 4Mhz crystal.
I got the comms working with the circuit connected to the PC serial port, but the ASCII I send from the PIC does not come through as the correct symbol on Hyper Terminal ie the zero digit (30Hex ; 48 dec) will come through as a Greek type of symbol (theta or something to that effect).
When I debugged with PICstart Plus, the correct value was loaded in TXREG.
Could it be the 232 chip or the 4Mhz crystal or my software perhaps??
