During program development, it can be handy to use the serial port to monitor various parameters on the PIC. Output to the UART can be made to check operation of a subroutine or to check variable values.
The PICkit 2 is an ideal way to connect to the PIC UART. It can be plugged directly into the UART connector on the TAP-28 board. A more convenient method is to use a short 6 conductor cable. These are supplied with many programmers and are available from SparkFun.
Be sure to set the baud rate in the PIC program and select the corresponding speed in the PICkit 2 UART tool software on the PC.
