Hi Dave,

I'm sorry to hear about your spinal chord injury ! I know a little about that personally also, unfortunately.

Thanks for posting the code re-done, in the meantime I went ahead and ordered some encode/decode chips from Rentron and they work excellent. I am extremely impressed by the range and reliability of this combination of Linx modules and these chips.

I did get a machine "status system" set up with the TX/encoder mounted in a small project box with a real whip antenna mounted on the top of my milling machine. When a section of the machine moves to a specific location, a button is pressed and that activates a 12F675 that turns on the TX and it transmits for .5 sec. then turns off for .3 sec., it does this 15 times with a "for/next" routine then goes to sleep until next time.

The receiver is in a very small project box that resembles a pager with the option of either a beep or flashing an LED. This tells me when the machine is ready for a tool change.

I'll give your new code a try soon, I want to have more status reports for other components of the machine sent to a receiver with an LCD display.

Thanks for the help and hope you're doing well now.
