read signal from computer

[menhwa]

i'm a beginner for using PBP, so i face some technical problem.

as i wanna to receive data from computer, is it i just need to use the command of "serin"? then do the PIC will keep detecting the data into the PIC from computer? since i cannot found the function of timer in PBP.

hope that someone can help me...

Hi,

If you do not elaborate your question it is very difficult to answer. The Serin command is a software driver serial TX/RX routine. So until and unless you are doing it often you may miss some data. A faster approach is to use to CTS, RTS lines on your ports by which you can control the handshaking by the PIC itself. Some PICs feature a hardware UART, which makes your life a little easier. So we need the PIC you are using and the intention of your program.
