PicSerial

http://www.oz1bxm.dk/PIC/628uart.htm has everything you need to know...

This project has been completed - i won't post the docs unless someone cares to see them. the basic jist is the 16f628a echos a 'hello world' style message and then waits for a char to be sent. when a char is recieved that same char is echoed back to the terminal.

a more interesting version of this program will be a truely random number generator where the PC will request a number over the UART. The pic will generate the number and send it back to the calling program.

this program is written in assembly. i had moderate success porting it to C using SDCC
