    Gusse,

    You was rigth! My problem was grounding between PICs. My wiring was wrong! Sorry!
    Using a 1k to 10k resistor between Tx(5v) and Rx(3,3v) it is working fine.
    Then, I put 2 diodes without resistor and doesn't work. I removed 1 diode and works fine. Then I puted a 10k + 1n4007 and works fine too.
    I tried with 2 diodes 1N4148 but its fail. Using just 1 signal diode fail also.
    Now my circuit is 10k resistor in serie with 1 diode 1N4007! Do you think it is ok?
    Thanks again!

    I suggest to remove the diodes and leave the 10k, hence add a 20k resistor from the 3.3V input pin to ground, in order to create 1/3 divider network.

    Cheers

    Aratti,

    I removed the diode and used your suggestion with sucess. Divider network was the better solution!
    Thanks
