If you're using interrupts on either end then you shouldn't use SEROUT/SERIN as interrupts will upset the timing.
You should use the hardware HSEROUT/HSERIN routines, but then you will have to use...
I guess then, the sending device is interrupted by the USB routines while sending and as a consequence the transmission of RS-232 at that time is corrupted.
So I have a need to override a pushbutton (from ON to OFF) and came up with this concept; a solenoid piggyback on a pushbutton switch with a 3D printed cap held by a strand of wire.

I have been thinking for a while, how to put togeter a simple microstepper controller without using a ready made commercial driver.
At the end, I came up with this simple project capable to drive unipolar stepper motor in three different modes
FULL STEP
HALF STEP
MICRO STEP
The Pic micro used in this work is a Pic 16F628 a powerfull small micro with PWM capability. With this MCU plus a 74HC04 and a74HC86 the controller will produce 20 microsteps out of a nominal motor step.
An additional improvement of this controller, is the capability to accept travel commands of 24 Bits, wich gives to the user the possibility to send positioning profile of over 16 millions steps.
Controller accept commands via TTL serial port @ 9600,n,8,1 and return an (Ack) once the positioning profile has been completed.

Also attached is a simple stepper controller example called Stepper_MK2.zip
