transferring word array to another pic

[Melanie]

We're just talking RECEIVE here...

Avoid SERIN, SERIN2, HSERIN, DEBUGIN etc

all these end up catching Data out of your control...

Refer to the PICs Datasheet as to which flags within which registers pop-up anouncing that goodies have arrived.

The nice thing is that there's a small buffer in the PICs USART... if your program is a bit lazy picking up data, then no worries, it just holds it for you and stacks another byte behind...

thanx for everything mel. I'm off to jam it together.

-first i'm going to try and poll for an arrival and then use hserin...knowing that there is something there...shouldn't lose any time.
-Second, i'll try polling and then go straight to the registers and transfer in...no hserin. Mind you here there is no control on assignment to variables and control bytes. I liked what you showed me the other day with an ending confirmation byte...
-third...everything working well....place the usart reception bit into interrupt status and run it as an interrupt....

mel...u'sart the bestest...garret
