PIC to PIC TX RX and PIC to PC COM RX ..a little help please

[Dennis]

Al thanks a million for the clarity on that one .. will check and feedback !

Dave ... ok just for fun so be it !
And if I get greedy would the Var bytes be num num num ? :-)

Expect Feedback .. results may vary :-0

Kind regards

Dennis

Hi Dave ;-)

That TX RX code you passed on works like a charm too X Y and Z coming through clear as day although I changed it for HSERIN and HSEROUT

Not sure what you want me to try with this code though ??

[code]
XNUM VAR BYTE[8]
XNUM = 225 'CHANGE THIS NUMBER AS NEEDED

SEROUT2 GPIO.5,16780,[TRAIN,SYNK,DEC XNUM.7,DEC XNUM.6,DEC XNUM.5,_
DEC XNUM.4,DEC XNUM.3,DEC XNUM.2,DEC XNUM.1,DEC XNUM.0,_
"--",DEC XNUM,$d,$a]
[code]

Did you want me to TX/RX it ? modify and put on send and receive side ?

Hi Al

I applied your suggestion , unfortunately it didn't work , my receiver side has an IF ..THEN statement looking for the number 23, and implementing your suggestion on the TX side only doesn't seem to send the correct DEC 23 to the RX so the IF condition is never met ...check my receiver side code for clarification.
To confirm , I only left the DEC modifier on the receiver side.. (please note though that at the receiver side I have hserin and hserout statements using the DEC modifier.
I placed your code suggestion on the TX of the first PIC only ..so it looks something like this
TX ----------- hyoerterminal
TX ------RF----- RX
PIC1 PIC2

Will bash around with it a little more and see what comes of it :-)
I'll post result back as soon as I have double checked each step too.

kind regards

Really??? Well how about that...

Send directly to a terminal.
You said you wanted three bytes, sometimes 8 bits can be as good. just thought you might see a use... splitting the byte up, multiple outputs on the same port... but if you need 23 then it will not help you this time.

Al was suggesting you only put the DEC on the RX side. That is why I thanked him for pointing out my mistake. I put a DEC on both in a couple of post.
