pic16f88 Serial questions (hserin/hserout, etc.)

[Archangel]

Check this thread:http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/cont...rial-backpacks

PBP does not natively import strings like C does and arduino uses C more or less. In the backpack code hserin is used to load an array and then the array is outputted to an LCD. It is set up to use DTs interrupts and works well.
edit:
as I UNDERSTAND ARDUINO: the serial data sent out is inverted, and I don't see a way in code to make it send true. You could use an NPN transistor to invert it back to true, or use debug as I did in my program for switching relays. Or us a another PIC instead of the Arduino. Or use a pic(if one exists) which allows inverted on the usart ( I vaguely remember getting beaten up over this once ;P)
