Simple But Nothing

[Ron Marcus]

I still don't understand. The way you have it written, SWITCH is a variable you are getting from your SERIN routine?? So, I will assume that you are setting a bit on the transmit side on say...portb. Then you are reading portb, and sending it as a variable. On the receive side just make PORTB = SWITCH.

Now open the PBP manual and look up SERIN. There should be an example of a wait statement. If not, use SERIN2. Copy it verbatim and do not substitute "[" for "(" or vice versa. If you don't, don't be at a loss why it does not work. These things are fussy about syntax.

yes switch is a variable (switch contacts on xmtr)

like I say, the software as I have shown....

SHOULD WORK

why it doesn't has me perplexed.

switch or switch.0 same thing....may be redundant but that's not what I need to know.

Hi Michael,

I thought I had an idea but I didn't read enough of the datasheet.

Well, as it turns out, the code on this post was fine and it works with no problem. I don't want to seem like a bozo so I had to post the facts. As it turns out, it was the problems I was having with my new EPIC programmer and trying to install meprog.

I discussed it with Jeff at Melabs and he confirmed there has been "some" compatibility problems.

I spent 2 days trying to get meprog to work right and it's what I was using when I tried to program the code in this post.

EPICwin on the other hand is flawless and I can look forward to learning from all of you and enjoying these 16F628 chips that were recommended.

Sure beats the OTP parts.

FYI.
