UART questions

[Christopher4187]

I have everything working for the most part. It's a little buggy but hopefully I can sort that out over time. I have a question about sorting the data. The data comes to me in this form:

*DATA* 84 324 2343 211 2345 234 DONE
ID: 24

I want to take the six numbers on the first line and assign variables to them and then do stuff with them. How can I do that? Also, if I was to push out 100 variables in one shot, would that work or is it considered normal practice?

One other question. When I'm using SPI, my settings are as follows:

SSPSTAT = %01100100      
 SSPCON1 = %00100001 
 BAUDCON = %00001111

When I switch to UART, I do the following:

SELECT case TIMER
        CASE 255
            SSPSTAT = 0     
            SSPCON1 = 0
            BAUDCON = 0
            PAUSE 1000
            for x=1 to 10
            HSEROUT ["FAN: ",DEC FAN]
            pause 10
            next x
            SSPSTAT = %01100100      
            SSPCON1 = %00100001 
            BAUDCON = %00001111
            pause 100
    END SELECT

Using one or the other (initial programming), it works correctly. When I use the code above, the data goes out but it's garbled. Instead of the fan information, I get stuff like "*Œ€’ŽŒ�âì "

Any ideas?
