Another Serial data using Manchester question

[tazntex]

"In this case, you're only sending a handful of codes back and forth, not random binary data that has to be coded and decoded 'on-the-fly'.
So, why not 'hardcode' each of those 'bytes' to their equivalent manchester values?"

0 = 01010101
1 = 01010110

Would I just send and receive this as a BYTE or Word?

Would I just send and receive this as a BYTE or Word?

Well, since there's only 8 bits, I'd say a BYTE, 'cause there's only 8 bits.
If there was 16 bits, I'd say a WORD, or maybe 2 bytes...

Thanks again Skimask, I have it all working now after using the hardcode you recommended. I never could get the encoder decoder section to work. Everything seem good now, been on it all weekend. I found a couple of errors after rereading the program over and over. Now I have a new question, how would I keep lets say portb.1 high on the receiver as long as I was pressing the button on the transmitter but portb.1 to go low if I release the button?
