I\'m using your example program of communication with FLEX board using RS232. Than I\'m using MPLAB IDE to program the board. What I want to know is, how can I check if the Board is doing what it\'s supposed? how can I see in my computer the produced results sent by my program?
thanks,

Re:RS232
Hello.
before replying your question I need some extra information.
What version of Erika are you currently using?
The example application you are talking about, is that in pic30-> Flex MultiBus Board->Serial Demo ? In this case, are you using the MultiBus board or the bare flex board?

Christian.

Re:RS232
Just a few questions...
- are you able to debug the system from the MPLAB IDE?
- did you connected the FLEX to the PC using the RS232?
- did you connect the RS232 on the PC to hyperterminal or minicom or Putty to show the characters sent by the FLEX to the PC?

Yes, I\'m using that application ( pic30-> Flex MultiBus Board->Serial Demo ) and I\'m using MultiBus Board.
I\'m not abble to debug the system from MPLAB IDE, Because the MPLAB ICD 2 is in use as Programmer, so it can\'t be used as Debugger.
I connected the FLEX to the PC using RS232, and with hyperterminal. But when I run the program and try to connect with hyperterminal, the last one shows a message saying thar\'s impossible to connect to the respective COM because it\'s already in use...

If you want to use the ICD2 for debugging you should use it as a debugger. It is the Debug menu option near the programmer menuI\'m not abble to debug the system from MPLAB IDE, Because the MPLAB ICD 2 is in use as Programmer, so it can\'t be used as Debugger.
Check if there are other programs using the RS232. Check also you are using the right serial line. (This is not in general a problem related to the Flex... try finding some help in the Windows forums for that...)I connected the FLEX to the PC using RS232, and with hyperterminal.
