USART+PWM Problem

[skimask]

Their explanation and what I'm doing in my code match.

I got a question for you about this chunk of the code:

IF DMX_State=Valid_SC Then
For DimmerCount=0 TO DMXStartAddr; Count incoming data bytes (frames)
Dummy=RCREG ; Read unwanted values
Next DimmerCount
DMX_State=Valid_Data
EndIF

Does it just happen to work because the baud rate is fast enough that the loop almost can't keep up? How do you know that 'Dummy' always gets loaded with valid data (in this case the unwanted values) from RCREG instead of the same thing that was there last time around in the loop before the next byte actually arrives.
I would figure that the code would at least poll the RCIF flag and THEN get a new byte from RCREG.
Just curious...have no need to know, not building any projects anytime soon...(and this all ties back into my post #4 about the bugs...but you probably already figured that out...)

Well the big thing that is missing here is the fact that this was snipped from an interrupt sub. All my code is interrupt based...to be honest I have actually since scaled back this code to make it a little simpler. I stripped out all the status checks and just bounce from one hserin command to another until I have the values I need.

Ok, makes sense...

I wonder if the O/P catches that part of your statement above...

O/P, what is O/P??
