DIY RS232 Interface With A PIC
Posted April 7, 2011 by Chris
Today’s PyroElectro Tutorial: RS232 serial communication is widely used for transferring 8 bits of information at a time. The PIC gives us easy access to hardware that is capable of serial communication. This tutorial shows you how to build a simple, but effective RS232 communication interface.

Very great tutorial. Thank you so much.
I still have question about how your operate on laptop.
1. What program you use on laptop to run your serial_interface.c code?
2. Do I need to compile the serial_interface.c code into PIC chip?
3. What is Good_Terminal.exe used for?
If you can provide me some information that will be very appreciated.
