Help with serin, serout, Manchester encoding

[skimask]

It seems like my program is executing straight down and is going through incorrect if loops sometimes.

Well, yes, it is going to execute straight down (as it's laid out here in the forums). Read thru it. How is it supposed to NOT execute straight down? There's no jumps back to the main loop or anything anywhere (except for where the serial data is received).

For my code, I use If ((s.3==0) && (s.2==1)) then
goto L3

Is it better to place L3 before the if statement or after it?
Is it a good idea to do If ((s.3==0) && (s.2==1)) or should I separate the if statement?

If ( s.3 = 0 ) and ( s.2 = 1 ) is fine. (In practice I don't use ==, I always use =, same thing for the &&, I always use 'AND', easier to read)

If you think the L3 before the if will work better, then try it.
