Im working on a network using PICS.

All nodes on the network are identical, all joining onto a single bus -
ie each pic doesnt receive and the re-transmit the data.

(each pic is also programmed identicaly - including ID bits)

Can anyone think of a way to get each PIC to allocate itself a unique
number -  node ID. ... but if there are 50 PIC modules then I want the
numbers 1 to 50 or 0 to 49 for the numbers no more no less.

I think I have a way of doing this but Im not saying anything right now.

Comms between modules are 1) TX/RX line 2) CLOCK 3) CTS

sort of a cut down serial com protocol

Ideas anyone? ...
