I've been using the PIC16F88 chip which has the 7 sequential pins I need for the code seen in this post. The problem is those 7 pins (PORTB.1-7) include the Rx pin, and I can't seem to find another chip which has 7 sequential pins where the USART Rx pin is somewhere else.

Should I use SERIN instead to communicate between PICs, or is there a PIC which has 7 sequential pin outputs (none of which are the USART Rx pin)?
