MIKROBASIC Soft_Uart to PICBASIC SEIRIN2?

[dhouston]

If mikrobasic allows, you might try increasing the time between bytes.

Ok we made some progress. I added a 500us pause between bytes and its getting the values now.
But now only the first chip is getting the serial. The 3 slave chips are on seperate lines. The first chip is getting values but the second 2 aren't getting any. My transmit code is below

sub procedure Send()
    porta.0 = 1
    
    portc.2 = 1
    error1 = Soft_UART_Init(PORTC,1, 5, 9600, 0)
    delay_ms(3)
    soft_uart_write("@")
    for i = 0 to 5
        soft_uart_write(Coxa[i])
        delay_us(500)
    next i
    portc.2 = 0
    
    portc.1 = 1
    error1 = Soft_UART_Init(PORTC,2, 4, 9600, 0)
    delay_ms(3)
    soft_uart_write("@")
    for i = 0 to 5
        soft_uart_write(Thigh[i])
        delay_us(500)
    next i
    portc.1 = 0
    portc.0 = 1
    error1 = Soft_UART_Init(PORTC,0, 3, 9600, 0)
    delay_ms(3)
    soft_uart_write("@")
    for i = 0 to 5
        soft_uart_write(Tibia[i])
        delay_us(500)
    next i
    portc.0 = 0
    
    porta.0 = 0
    return
end sub

my receiver waits for the @ symbol so that is why its sent first.

Ok I found several errors in the last one I posted so here is the newest code revision

sub procedure Send()
    porta.0 = 1
    
    portc.2 = 1
    error1 = Soft_UART_Init(PORTC,0, 5, 9600, 0)
    delay_ms(3)
    soft_uart_write("@")
    for i = 0 to 5
        delay_us(300)
        soft_uart_write(Coxa[i])
    next i
    portc.2 = 0
    
    portc.1 = 1
    error1 = Soft_UART_Init(PORTC,2, 4, 9600, 0)
    delay_ms(3)
    soft_uart_write("@")
    for i = 0 to 5
        delay_us(300)
        soft_uart_write(Thigh[i])
    next i
    portc.1 = 0
    portc.0 = 1
    error1 = Soft_UART_Init(PORTC,1, 3, 9600, 0)
    delay_ms(3)
    soft_uart_write("@")
    for i = 0 to 5
           delay_us(300)
        soft_uart_write(Tibia[i])
    next i
    portc.0 = 0
    
    porta.0 = 0
    return
end sub
