North of the Arctic Circle on that one...

Lol......!

It was a bit of a howler wan't it, oh dear.

I've just re-read the brief mackrackit.

What happens if you do not send data?

I thought you meant from the PIC to the pc, that's why I kept going towards a change of state on SEROUT2 (PORTC.3).

I see what you're saying now (I still don't now the answer (yet)) at least I'm looking in the right area now (I think).

Yup, you are heading South now.
While I am on my way North with the gizmo I am playing with.

I'm intrigued, what you working on then mackrackit

[mackrackit]

I got the bright idea that would figure this one out.

Hi mackrackit,

I've got something that 'works'

ANSEL   = %00000000    'Disable analog select so ports work as digital i/o.
CMCON0  = %00000111    'Disable analog comparators.
TRISA   = %00000000    'Set PORTA as OUTPUT.
PORTA   = %00000000    'Set PORTA pins all low.
TRISC   = %00000000    'Set PORTC as OUTPUT.
PORTC   = %00000000    'Set PORTC pins all low.

DEFINE OSC 4

NUM1 VAR BYTE

NUM2 VAR BYTE 

TOTAL VAR BYTE

Timeout con 10000
 
MAIN:
PAUSE 250

SERIN2 PORTC.5, 16780,Timeout,Data_Not_Sent,[DEC NUM1, DEC2 NUM2]  
PAUSE 6000
HIGH PORTA.5
PAUSE 1000
LOW PORTA.5

LET TOTAL = NUM1 + NUM2
PAUSE 250

SEROUT2 PORTC.3, 16780, [DEC TOTAL, 10] 
pause 250

DATA_Not_sent:
High PORTA.1
PAUSE 75
LOW PORTA.1
GOTO MAIN

If I just load the program into the 16F684 and leave it running, every 10 secs PORTA.1 LED blinks as per the Timeout setting. I've given it a 10 secs delay because it takes about 4 secs to input two numbers into my clunky old keyboard.

You might be wondering why there's a six second delay after the NUM's are inputted, it's so I can visually see via the LED PORTA.5 that it has arrived (if that makes sense).

What do you think.
