Of course it's possible. You have to write a PC application that will read the file and send each character, and to write a PIC firmware that will receive these data and display it.
But without more information I can't say more.

This is a new question and should be posted in a new thread. The only allowed exception to this rule is when you are the person who posted the first question (which not seems to be the case).
P.S.: Try to be more specific in your questions, for example what programming language do you want to use? etc. |

thanx for the reply
I googled a bit and found that you can send data to pic through RS232 communication
can send and receive through Tx and Rx ports respectively ..........
......... i want the pic to send a signal (integer which states the line to be read from the text file ).
the software on the pc should receive this signal from the pic ; and send the string from that particular line to the pic through Rx port (which pic receives and stores in some variable for further processing to display )
can i get an example program for the pic ?
im reading on how to send data to and from serial port from a linux system so as to write the program on the pc side (linux) |
