i'm in trouble...help me please...

[mackrackit]

i refer to application note from microchip(an236) with a little modification(use only push button not push button + LCD).does xout & xin in the picbasic are x-10 driver.if so,that means i only have to command the xout & xin because i only want to "turn the LED at the receiver by just push the button at the transmitter".can i do that???

XIN/XOUT receives or sends commands from/to the X10 module.

From the manual:

XOUT is used to send control information to X-10 modules. These modules are available from a wide variety of sources under several trade names. An interface is required to connect the microcontroller to the AC power line. Either the PL-513 for send only, or the TW-523 for two-way X-10 communications are required. These devices contain the power line interface and isolate the microcontroller from the AC line. Since the X-10 format is patented, these interfaces also cover the license fees.

i've design the x-10 module using the application note from microchip(an236).

Hi,

As mackrackit pointed out, XIN and XOUT are to be used with X10's interface modules PL513 (transmit only) or TW523 (transmit and receive). If you intend to build your own mains-to-pic interface, you cannot use XIN; you will have to write your own code to receive the X10 signal.

XOUT you could still use, as long as you get the mains interfacing right.

Remember you are playing with mains voltages here.
