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.
