Mike,

Just change the bit count from 8 to 16, and shift two registers instead of 1.

Or, just call the routine twice - that's the way you keep it compatible with
standard UARTs.

As for paying, many of us here do this for a living and are always looking for a
new account.

 Subject: 16 bit serial link








I'm an electronics nut but a programming M O R O N.
I know the basics but that's about it.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish and would really
appreciate any help.

I've seen for example, code that will allow a pic to
transfer serial asynchronous data with both transmit
and receive ability. One example is the RCV232.src
and the XMIT232.src listings that are in the Parallax
applications book. Can this code be changed to
allow a 16 bit situation (18, with stop and start) and
then be burnt into a pic with more I/O lines?

Or has anyone seen pre-exsisting code somewhere that
will do this? I'm trying to come up with a ONE CHIP
solution to simply transfer 16 bits of data over
RS-232.

I also have a second question.

What is the attitude with the piclist if I were to
offer compensation to others for programming
assistance? Is this frowned upon... or not allowed?

Thanks for any help.
