so, what happened was..........
I did write uS when I meant mS, but no worries.
The synching issue isn't a problem, because the PIC on the PC sends a command out to the other PIC and it acts on that command. The other PIC is in receive mode straight after the command is sent waiting 250ms for something to come in.
On the code bit....
I expected 3638, I got 146. I expected 3640 or something close, and I get 224. The annoying thing is, I had this part working a few weeks ago, and I messed around with it, and now I can't remember how I done it. thats how I ended up messing around with the formats, and of course, sending a byte and getting a string....not a good way to make things work
ALTHOUGH, I have now found the error. It's not so much in the TX or RX, but in the definition of temp. I'm working on that now, so I will get back with a real update in the next hour or two
