Be that as it may...
The first program has the ability (barely) to read one channel, if it weren't for a few fairly well hidden bugs.
The second chunk of code really isn't a program at all, it's just a chunk of code to receive the data (again, barely). It doesn't do anything with it after that. In car terms...what you've got is an engine...no body, no wheels.

How much PIC programming have you done in the past? Working with DMX is most definetely not a project for the beginner, not saying it can't be done, but you'll be shooting yourself in the foot in a few days.
