The Parallax simulator shows that a PIC16C84 will awaken from sleep by an RTCC overflow interrupt that is triggered from the RA4/RTCC input pin. I have not found any documentation that confirms this, and cannot seem to get it to occur on the actual chip. I am attempting to awaken the chip when a start bit from an RS232 serial input is detected. The serial input routine is interrupt driven from the RTCC and works fine without the sleep instruction. Can this be done ? Regards, Doug Boulware * RM 1.3 *
