How to transfer data from 3 micro to 1

[amindzo]

Hi, i want to transfer some data from 3 micro controllers to one micro. i don't want to use wireless transmission. the distance between micro controllers are at least 10 meter. i use PIC16F877A and picbasic pro 2.43, could you help me?

That's some long wire.

i use PIC16F877A and picbasic pro 2.43,

Upgrade. Easily done you know...(or is it?)

could you help me?

Define.......HELP......

Hey, D_T!!! Could I hotlink your ROFL.GIF here?

You could, I don't mind. But it wouldn't be very nice to laugh at him.

amindzo,

Without more information, all I can say is ... RS485, 1 master/3 slave.

Hi amindzo,
look at this link, I bought several of this authors books, and would again.

Hi,my friend suggest that you use a multi cable to connect one port to another port of main micro(8 wire,for example PORTB of micro 1 to PORTC of main micro) and use PEEK and POKE instruction. you put one byte on a port and read it from main micro and you should make a time program to read data on time.
but it is not a good method. it's need a lot of wire and the distance can effect on the voltage,current and also we have noise.

what about using serin and serout instructions and a shield cable?

That'll work great...

if i want to use serin and serout instructions, can i connect(for example) PORTB.0 of micro 1 to PORTC.1 of main micro with wire directly?(with 10 to 20 meter distance)

Hi, which cable i should use for this application to avoid noise problems and if i want to use MAX232 how should i connect it to microcontroller ? could you show me the diagram and the code in picbasic pro with serin and serout instructions?

Anything else?
