pic not sending to pc :question:

[Guest]

hello to all and thanks for the adviseyou could provide, here is the code:
pic placed in matrix multimedia development board:
#include <16F84A.H>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, PUT
#use delay(clock=3276800) //3276800 MHz OSC
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_A1, rcv=PIN_A0, PARITY=N, BITS=8, ERRORS)
main() {
byte i;
for (i=0; i<10; ++i) {
printf("this is a test \r\n");
}
} // end
this is working fine using a terminal software, i get the message from pic
10 times, but also terminal software says in status bar "framming error".

then when i place pic in project board using either 3.57 or 4 mhz crystal
and changing #use delay to proper crystal and compile and download to pic the terminal software doesnot get anything, i connect to serial port first
with software then i power project board but no results, wires are connected right, using A0 and A1. will this have to do with the "framming error" am getting while connecting software with matrix board even though is working?
thanks in advance to all

Are you using a RS232 transceiver chip between the PIC and the PC?

only using max232 with 4 capacitors

thanks pcmprogrammer, all your points in connections on project board except the 10k going to mclr have been checked and are there, not using the 3.27 crystal though, have to get one and test, will tell what happens
thanks
