Is firmata required for simple - write only comm to hyperterm

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

I planned to do simple serial.print 's to hyperterminal.

This should work correct?

I know you like to see all the code but rd_adc is a funcion.

	       digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
		adc_val = rd_adc(i);
		delay(100);
		mySerial.print("adc ch " );
		mySerial.print(i);
		mySerial.print(" value                                                                         ");
		mySerial.println(adc_val );
		delay(500);
		digitalWrite(13, LOW);

no

No, did you even try to compile it? There is an obvious error:

mySerial.print(" value

Also you can save SRAM by putting your strings in flash using the F() macro, for example:

mySerial.print(F("adc ch "));
