Serial Comms with PIC micros

[mister_e]

I agree with the HSERIN/HSEROUT. For serious and high speed serial comm you should use a PIC with a USART.

I know DEBUG/DEBUGIN is faster.. but how much. i can't say. Maybe it worth a try if your pic don't have USART.

I've i said maybe?

About the best compiler... there's no better between Hi-Tech and PBP. What make the real difference is behind the keyboard. It will also depend how much you want to spend on a compiler... money and time at least.

Both will do the job as well.

Wich PIC... well every have their own spec. Projects are also different. You should choose one that fit to your app.

Personnally i work with around 50 different model. I don't really have favourite.

Some common 12F683, 16F628, 16F88, 16F648, 16F684, 18F2680, 18F4525, 18F4550,18F2550, 18f2525
