How to apply waiting time for capture data from serial port

[din_kt]

I want capture hex code (FE CA) from another pic using serin command.


B1 = First Byte
B2 = Second Byte



command for Sending : Serout TX_t,t9600,[$FE,$CA]

command for capture : Serin RX_r,t9600,B1
Serin RX_r,t9600,B2

so.... B1 = FE and B2 = CA

For this situation after sending FE CA, This PIC will receive FE CA for a 30 second, if done portb0. = high or if fail portb.1 = high.

Which PIC are you going to use?

What else this PIC will do in meantime?

Im using PIC 16F84A,

I think not do anything in the waiting time, just wait until 30 second.

Will the 16F84A die one day?

Ok, well, the only thing i could suggest, even if it really don't turn me on is to do a loop and use the Timeout feature of SERIN or SERIN2 or DEBUGIN. Almost the same thing we talked about in your previous thread...

except you don't need any PAUSE, SERIN will do it for you. Read the whole SERIN or SERIN2 or DEBUGIN sections of your manual.
