16F628A Serin timeout and Timer1

[BigWumpus]

Hello,

forget the timeout-option in "serin" when you receive rf-transmissions.

I've build it like this:
I use Timer1 to measure a timelimit.
So, start Timer1,
Repeat receive 1 character trough serin,
if the character is your lead-in receive the rest,
until timer1 ends.
go sleep....

It may be necessary to slow down the transmitter by using DEFINE CHAR_PACING 1000 because you are using slow software rather than fast hardware!

For me it it not necessary to receive each transmission!

Thankyou all for your help.

As the transmitter is only sending the qualifier byte and a single code byte over and over at 300bps I'll drop the Serin timeout and give the Serin Timer1 timeout option a go this weekend.

Once again thanks.

Regards,

Andrew.

Think about some leading bytes ($55) in order to syncronize the receiver...
