Decimal variable input with HSERIN command

[pxidr84]

Yes, that's the way it works....
If the loop time is less that 2 "byte-times" you can poll the receive flag each time thru the loop and get the byte(s) from the receive buffer. If the loop time is longer you need to use interrupts.

Hmm right now I just want to retreive a 4-number decimal value in my loop, and put it in the "ref" variable. I don't even need a letter, I just send raw numbers (in ASCII) , like "0586" from my computer.
The problem is that in my program I use very precise and quick timing interrupts so it's a bit annoying.
Maybe there is a way to send not an ASCII number but directly a hex number, so 0586 will be 24A... max value is 1200 (4B0, so I use 2 bytes)

I have no idea how to use the RX buffer...
