Interfacing two PIC micros

[sajid]

Hi all,

I ve already interfaced 16F870 to RTC chip DS1307. After a few problems, its running fine now.

Now, I am trying to interface to independently running PIC micros, both 16F870. But facing a few difficulties, like :

i) what should be the read/write address for the slave PIC

ii) How can we define variables in a particular memory location (in slave PIC), using Picbasic because DIM statement creates variables, but memory location is not known to the user.

iii) How to define SDA and SCL pins on the slave PIC.

I think, I need all the information for interfacing two PICs, using Picbasic.

Kindly help me and oblige.

Thanking you all in anticipation.
Regards,
Sajid

Good luck DIM'ing anything in PicBasicPro.
Check Proton Basic forums instead.

I DIMmed a light using the X10 commands once!

Good one...
Come to think of it, I've DIMmed a whole load of LEDs using PBP too...

Ah come on guys! This is his first post here and he need help... you can't help him, then just shut the ******

Sajid, are you using Melabs PICBasic, Melabs PicBasic PRO or Crownhill Proton (PDS) ?

If you're using Crownhill Proton (PDS) you'll need to go on their forum.

yeah.. both are known as PicBasic...

This might be of use.

Is there a way to do what sajid ask in PBP?
