usart communcation!

[bobo99]

Hi there, I have after a very long time finally established pic to pc communcation via usart. I am trying to type in a number in the terminal and tell the pic to light up the corresponding led. I am using a 16f876 chip and have all the portB pins breadboarded to leds. My code is:

dim i as byte
TRISB = 0
main:
Usart_init(2400) ' Initialize USART module (8 bit, 2400 baud rate, no parity bit...
while true
if Usart_Data_Ready = 1 then ' If data is received:
i = Usart_Read ' Read the received data
Usart_Write(i)
PORTB.i = 1
end if
wend
end.

now i am wondering if i even properly wrote the part about PORTB.i = 1... i know the code doesnt work so i must of slipped up somewhere, I know the pic is receiving my numbers because Usart_Wrute(i) works...

is good that now you have RS232 comms

and perhaps this post would be better in the PIC forum ?
