recieving serial inputs from a picaxe

[kieran_akers]

is there anywhere that offers advice on the programming required on the pc, in order to understand theserial output being sent from the pic chip.
thanks

?? Do you mean " use a PC to just SHOW Picaxe serial data"(any terminal program will do) or "action this data with ones own program" (more involved) ?

 

[kieran_akers]

i want to send data to via the serial port and then use this data and send it to microsoft word. unless its possible to write the code in word to automatically detect the serial port

The easiest way would probably be to use SERTXD or SEROUT and capture the data output by the PICAXE using the Proramming Editor Terminal ( or any other 'Terminal' application ), then cut and paste the data into Word.

MS Excel, perhaps, but not in Word. Excel has some support for macros and VBA routines but Word does not really have this functionality.
