Having Serin Serout problems

[Demon]

This is confusing.

Initial:
if ign=1 then
  goto initial
else
Initiall:
  if x=0 then
    serin ign, 2, 600, setmaster, ["~"], module
    goto setmaster
  else
    pause 50
seroutrpt:
    if a<=5 then 'sends serout command 5 times
      serout OUT, 2,["~",module]
      a=a+1
      goto seroutrpt
    endif
    trisb.1=1 'makes out and input temporarly
    trisb.0=0 'makes ign and output temporarly
    ign=0 'sends ground pulse to previous slave for slave count
    pause 50
    ign=1 'idles pulse
    goto waitcnt
  endif
endif

You can do simple IF for first test:

Initial:
if ign=1 then
  goto initial
endif

Initiall:
if x=0 then
  serin ign, 2, 600, setmaster, ["~"], module
  goto setmaster
else
  pause 50
seroutrpt:
  if a<=5 then 'sends serout command 5 times
    serout OUT, 2,["~",module]
    a=a+1
    goto seroutrpt
  endif
  trisb.1=1 'makes out and input temporarly
  trisb.0=0 'makes ign and output temporarly
  ign=0 'sends ground pulse to previous slave for slave count
  pause 50
  ign=1 'idles pulse
  goto waitcnt
endif

There are other ways to make constant loops too (WHILE-WEND for example).

It would definitely help if you posted all your code.

(I'm still digesting the rest of the logic, bit confusing for me)
