Serin serout problem

[lerameur]

The same thing is happeneing as before,
the LCD is just showing 'Waiting ... ' on the receiving unit
And I can see on the scope a signal coming in on portB3

Anything showing up on the first line? Something like:
Tc=100C,Tf=212 or anything similar?

[lerameur]

the first line of the receiving unit is blank
the second: waiting ....

What does the transmitter lcd display?

TC=46c, Tf=114f

Ok, obviously the temp sensor code is working fine, and the receiver code is 'working'.

Check your wiring again. This should be working just fine. I just built up the same thing (during the last 10 minutes), 2 PIC16F628A's, exact code, simulated the one-wire temp sensor in the transmit section with some dummy values, added a button to change the number when pressed.
Both transmit and receive sections worked fine.
Are both sections on the same power and ground lines?

Use this code. Again, make the LCD work for you....

yes they are on the same vdd and ground,
I just tried seperating them by putting the sedning end on a battery but no diferent.
Also the receiving, here is only one wire that is going in , the other wires are used for the LCD, obviously, the lcd works. I am putting the scope on the incoming port adn there is a signal in . The signal is sent every 500ms, Maybe that is too slow ?? and the receiving cant see it ..
