877A & 16 Inputs to be monitored

[Megahertz]

Thanks for the info. The On DEBUG seems very useful but will it work if I am DEBUGIN for 5 seconds in the main loop. I am trying to make a security system SMS based in which the 877A keeps checking the arrival of a text message in the main loop by polling the GSM module every few seconds and waits for an "OK" or other message from the module and does allow 5 second for the GSM module to respond.

				
main: 
DEBUG "AT+CMGR=",DEC c,13,10
DEBUGIN 5000,main,[WAIT("+"),STR code\5\13, SKIP 15,STR num\13\13, SKIP 27,STR sms\25\13]
.

No, of course not.
But your request didn't say anything about 5 second SERIN commands.

If you use the 16F877a's USART, then it doesn't have to sit there twiddling it's thumbs waiting for data to come in.
And can continue on monitoring the inputs.

Answers can only be as complete as the request made for it.
