Im trying to connect my PIC to my PC via an rs232. This is a first time for me and im quite a novice when it comes to harware(as you can tell by the topic). im using the hyper-terminal program on windows, i am also using mplab. What im trying to do as a first step is display a character on the monitor. What is happening is that the PIC does not seem to want to interface with hyper terminal. When i connect my PIC through the com1, and then try to set the hyper terminal to com1 too, the hyper terminal displays the message "another program is using the telephony device". Any suggestions on how to solve this. Keep in mind that the hyper terminal can connect when the PIC is not conencted.
Thanks
