PIC-PC Serial Communication

[picstart]

I want to interface my motor speed controller circuit using pic to a PC so that I can input desired rpm using PC and view the current motor rpm as well.
Can anyone give me more ideas and links ?
Thank you!

i think you can check www.rentron.com  for VB6.0 samples of serial comm.
 
The pic part ...  i think you-re more experienced PIC user ..

hi picstart
 
this works with TMS Async32 for Delphi wonderfully.
 
I also use.

Also have in mind that a MAX232 serial level converter IC is needed. (sugested for more reliable operation)

excuse my bug.
Max 232 and 233 is right as hardware and tms as software
was too recessed in the RS232 programming.

you can use labview to develop a user interface on pc as ther are many examples , e.g  bluetooth ,ethernet coms and so on or you can use visaul basic also but its demands a bit of coding i see that labview is easier u just drag and configure

I will take this topic to ask a similar question!

I did some little projects using pics, but now i wanna make a project and i wanna take some control via PC on the pic!

I did a search last couple of days try to find the best way (easy? ) to do it!

I aready used UART to comunicate but using just Hyperterminal, and now i would like to create some interface on PC side!

What kind of software you recomend to program a simple interface?
You talked about Labview!, is it possible with this software comunicate via hardware COM port to PIC? and with a virtual COM port (emuladed via USB)? Is it possible using direct USB port as HID or CDC?

Thanks in advance!

I used Visual C++.
You may found on internet some classes for serial communication in C++.
