Hello,
I have decided to make a stand alone PIC that will operate as a
Numerically Controlled Oscillator.   This 'slave' PIC should be able to
run the 16-Bit compare mode against Timer1.  Inside the Compare interrupt,
an I/O pin will toggle the opposite of last.  High, then low, then high,
etc...  This new digital frequency should be glitch free.

I would like to be able to update the 16-bit compare value, with a simple
write from my master PIC.

USART should have no problem with being constantly interrupted to toggle a
pin.  Is this true?  I had problems with this type of constant interrupt
when I was using a software SEROUT to write serially to my LCD.  Many
strange characters were displayed on the LCD.

Ideally:  Perfect communication between 2 PICs.  With the slave PIC
(receiver) operating with a 16-bit variable frequency.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!!!!!

Thank you,               6500
