[Reply #30 on:]

what im receiving are the extended ascii codes, why is this?

I don't follow you there.
What is "the controller"?
Is it a true RS232 device?
If so, how are you connecting it to the Arduino?

[Reply #31 on:]

im using servo angles to determin its position and not microseconds. as i send data from my pic16F628A connected from txport rb3 to arduino rx digital pin 0, and turning the serial monitor i receive unknown characters/symbols (i browsed through the ascii table and saw the decimal values for the extended ascii).

Are you sure you haven't simply got a line inversion?

[Reply #33 on:]

im not exactly sure. how would i remove line inversion? i tapped(very quick) the tx line to the ground and saw numbers upon it, then the symbols appear again.

[Reply #34 on:]

this is what im receiving in my rx port.. i connected a npn transistor to the tx port of my pic.
why is it that im receiving this?

I have no idea why you are receiving that, but it looks like either a speed mismatch, or a line inversion.
You could write a simple sketch to find out what the idle state of the line is.
Or look at it with an oscilloscope.

what kind of sketch would be that??? i tried using just a simple Serial.read(); Serial.println(); sketch, but the same happend...

One that does a simple "digitalRead" on the appropriate input pin, and prints the result repeatedly.

like a serial to LED sketch? i dont get it...

thanks for the help AWOL!

hello once again!

i managed to run everything up..but i have one problem, my DC Motor keeps on moving even if its assigned case value isnt called. why is this so???

thanks!

I don't know - where is your code?

[Reply #42 on:]

i found the problem...i placed the break points wrong..hehehehe 

thanks again AWOL!
