Help PLEASE - Stuck on a project! 16F877A

I didn't knew about this. I just want to confirm again, that I can put gosub kind of statements in the ISR, where it can point to labels outside the ISR?

That is not what I was trying to say.
Your code loops back to START: regularly, have a GOSUB in there that will take you to the routine that WAS in the ISR. Looks like that routine is for setting the LEDs and I bet your code will run fast enough that if the LEDs are set/changed through every loop it will be fine.

Some of the transmitters are transmitting a carrier wave all of the time when they are powered up. Could be "jamming" the receiver.


High PortC[x+3]
That is interesting... never tried that but I do not think it will work.
Maybe if the . is put in after C ???

Back to scratch now. Just trying to do it for one machine with new approach. MCH reports the problem, LED goes high at MCroom, along with the buzzer, Ackn... signal is sent and led blinks at MCH as well.
BUT only for few seconds and then it goes off. I also put a statement High BUzz: pause 100 : low buzz to see if valid signal comes, it does keeps comming at mcroom.
Looking at my new code will explain better what I am trying to do. Any advise?

Hi, I have arranged my hardware accordingly to use USART, trying to understand and blink an LED first.
My Rx code is :

DEFINE OSC 4
Include "modedefs.bas"
INCLUDE "DT_INTS-14.bas"     ; Base Interrupt System
INCLUDE "ReEnterPBP.bas"     ; Include if using PBP interrupts
 
@ __Config _XT_OSC & _WDT_ON & _PWRTE_ON & _BODEN_ON & _LVP_OFF & _CP_ALL & _CPD_ON

Nothing is comming from Tx currently because I wanted to see first if both interrupts are working fine.
This is what happens:
LEDs are connected to PortB.7,6 & 5. When power is applied, PortB.7 blinks, PortB.6 blinks but when PortB.5 blinks, normally PIC hangs for few seconds and then normal erratic behaviour happens because of the interrupts, then again PIC hangs for few seconds.
My TX module connected to PIN25 is also getting very hot, even though I am not using it in the above code. Is this overall behaviour normal, I am using this feature for the first time, am I doing it right?
