Communicating with PIC

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer
1

Good morning,

I believe you'll be able to help me. I have PIC30F2011 based PWM reader which communicates to PC using

via RS232 (MAX232) transceiver. Is it possible to replace PC with an Arduino which would be able to

decode the data received from PIC and show the required information using an LCD display.

Kind Regards.

Yes.

thanks. What would I need to achieve that in terms of hardware?

An Arduino and an LCD display.

I'm guessing that the MAX232 is to interface the PIC's TTL signals to the RS232 port on the PC so you may not need it for communication between the PIC and the Arduino.

Thanks.

In that case I can directly feed RX and TX from PIC to Arduino TX and RX?

As long as you connect the grounds together, yes.

Yes provided the PIC operates from 5v.
