With your wired connection you had full control over both modes so you could just program
both PICs to send/receive in inverted or non-inverted modes.
With the Maxstream units your only option is to program the sending/receiving PICs to use
non-inverted modes - if connected directly to the Maxstream modules.
If you prefer inverted mode, then a simple inverter on both ends should do the trick, but it
has to be fast enough to handle whatever data rate you use without messing with timing.
I would opt for a simple firmware change before adding new hardware though. Just my 2c.
Data is data, but inverted or non-inverted does matter. Think about about it like this -data is data
suppose you program a PIC to receive data in non-inverted mode. This PIC is the RF
module. Now connect another PIC to it that you've programmed to send & receive in
inverted mode. It doesn't work.
If you reprogram the 1st one to use the same mode, it works. You have control over that.
You don't with the Maxstream unit. So you program controllers on both ends to use the correct
mode, or insert a data inverter.
