Serial Communications is a pretty basic way of interacting with a device - but used in the right way it can be a very powerful method of communicating and even debugging.  After getting some LEDs to blink (of course!) the serial library was one of the first to be written for the PicPack library.  So after three years of hammering away at it, we have a pretty robust library of code that has been reliably used in many microcontroller projects, on many different types of PICs.  We've updated the serial tutorial to give you a fresh view of serial communications, including the new terminal library that makes constructing the framework to communicate with your PIC even easier.
