RS232 is a method of real time communication between two devices such as PIC to PIC or PIC to PC.
More information about RS232 can be found here.
The PIC32 has 2 sets of pins UART1 and UART2. The pins are:
- UxCTS - clear to send (input to PIC)
- UxRTS - ready to send (output from PIC)
- UxRX - PIC receive
- UxTX - PIC transmit
To communicate PIC to PC, you need to have a COMM port or a USB to RS232 converter. You can read about the USB to RS232 converter here.
