SERIN2/RFID code won't run ?
I can't get my code to step passed SERIN2. The DEBUG and SEROUT2 commands work good to the MCS. The 18F4620 was used first and then back to the 16F877A. The results are the same. All the configs. are OK and I have moved the SERIN2 input to different pins ( TTL and ST inputs) on both chips. A scope check of the data taken at the input pin of the PIC shows it to be correct ( $0A and the first three digits of the tag number) The reader is the Parallax RFID unit and it will work on the BS2 platform. Data is 8N1. The PASS TAG NOW makes it to the screen and thats it. Here is the read part of the 877 code:
