Hello Squibcakes,

Squibcakes>>Has anybody used a pic to multiplex input serial data?<<

Could you give a example?


I am working (right now), on the software for Serial communication to a LCD. With using only 1 pin, the ability to control a LCD. I have most everything working now, I am busy figuring the best way to have a "timeout" timer, so that if the data does not come through the whole way, the program will return to "Beginning Receive" mode. (like receive 7 bits, instead of 8).

I dont' want to "RESET" the chip, I only want to go to a certain part of my program (Like a beginning Loop).

Though I doubt if I need the "Beginning Receive mode", I sure like to "safeguard" for it.

By checking the first Byte you receive, you can tell your processor to do different things. (if it is equal to 255, tell the processor to turn on the "Command" pin to a LCD, instead of the pin being a data pin".

I maybe be misunderstanding what you are saying. If I am, I am sorry.
