Does anyone know, off the top of their head, if I set the TRIS register to 1 (receive) for my USART TX line if it will actually go into Hi-Z input mode? I'm wondering if I also need to clear the SPEN bit as well. I need to do this for power savings... I'm going to try it out ASAP, but I thought someone just might know. Thanks.
