Hi I am designing a PIC 16c84 circiut to which is a system of clocks in a whole building. All these PIC circuits are controlled and updated form a central location (a pc). for now I am passing data via the rs232. Later on I will pass data super imposed on the mains. But unfortunately I still have bugs when reading the data serially. For some strange reason, the PIC seems to stop after the first bit. I tried simulating it with a simulus file and everything seems ok.Does anyone of you have implemented an rs232 successfully (form pc to pic)? By the way I am using RB0 as a receive pin. Initailly my idea was to generate an interrupt when the start bit is detected but for some strange reason, this did not work. The data baud rate required is 110 bits per second.
