I've searched high and low through these forums and across google and can't seem to find a reason why I can't send and receive data from my PICAXE chip to my PC and vice versa.
I'm using the PICAXE-18 Standard Project Board (CHI030) and trying to send data via pin 3 and receive via pin 4. If I put a logic probe on the pin I can see it sending the data every second or so (how I've programmed it too) but then on my PC I can't actually receive the data.
The test application I've got is:
I've tried bypassing the darlington chip and just running a wire directory from the pin3 on the PICAXE to no avail. I've also tried both N4800 and T4800 baud types, again with no luck. In saying that, using the download cable and the sertxd command, I can send data to my PC, that's all good and well but I want to be able to send it via pin3.
I haven't tried much with receiving data, but I figure if I can't send it I don't have much chance of receiving it.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong and how to correct my error?

Code:
main:
high 1
for b1 = 0 to 63
serout 3, T4800, ("Hello")
serout 3, T4800, (10,13)
pause 1000
next b1
