#90932 - Cable? Speed?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Pradeep Kumar said:
I am able to communicate betwee two PCs as well as between two microcontrollers using three wires.(Rx,Tx & Gnd). But unable to communicate between microcontroller and Pc.

1. Are you sure you have the correct cable?
Between 2 PCs, you will need a crossover cable between them;
If the 2 microcrontrollers have the same pinout as each other, you will need a crossover cable between them;
But if the microcontrollers & PC have different pinout (pins 2 & 3 reversed), you will need a "straight-through" cable!

2. Maybe your serial interface code is just too slow to keep up with a PC?
Is it polled, or interrupt-driven?
How are you testing PC-to-micro?
Can you get any communication at all between PC & micro?
eg, can the PC received from micro, but not micro from PC?
