| Can't send data to PC from PIC using USB-TTL |

I'm using a USB-TTL FT232RL http://buyhere22.com/components/usb-ttl-ft232rl-pinout.png connected to a PIC16F877A. I'm only using the TX & RX ports of the USB-TTL connected to the RX & TX of the uC respectively. The USB-TTL powers up when connected to the PC.
I want to see the data of the MPU6050 GY-521 on my PC, however, I can visualize it on the LCD screen without any problems.
By the way, I'm using HTerm to receive the data coming from the USB-TTL, so it seems, IMO, that the uC is not sending any instructions to the USB-TTL to be ready to send data.
Pls help  
i2cmain.h:
| Code: | #include <16F877A.h>
#device ADC=10
#FUSES NOWDT //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOLVP //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
#FUSES HS
#use delay(crystal=20000000) |

One thing leaps out.
Jumper for 5v/3.3v.
First thing have you got this set to 5v (needed).
Second is what chip is used. Read it's part number and get it's data sheet.
Check what it's output voltage actually is?.
PIC serial needs a signal that goes up to 4v. Many '3.3v' boards even if they have an option to jumper their regulator for 5v, do not give sufficient output to be seen by the PIC.... |

Simple test. install a jumper from the module TX to RX pins (no PIC connections). Now, every keypress on the PC KBD should be seen on the PC monitor.
IF this works, you've confirmed PC end is OK.
Do you have PIC TX connected to module RX, PIC RX to module TX ?

Ok guys, I have found the solution and it's very simple. I though the only neccesary connections were the TX & RX of the USB-TTL because of previous projects I've made sending data FROM the PC to the uC without any problems.
But while reading the datasheet of this module it says I also have to connect the GND pin on my protoboard. That's all.
However I still wonder why since the power source for the USB-TTL is my PC USB Port and for my uC (which is on my protobard) is an independet 5v-DC source. |

Aaargh!......
You always need a ground connection. You've just been lucky in the past that parts you have been using happen to have their grounds connected to the same place.
Your usb module is using usb power to run it. It is powered from the PC. Your PIC is running off a wall-wart I guess, which is an isolated supply.
Something like 80% of circuitry now does not use the mains ground. It floats. That includes things like laptop PC's.... |
