> What is the best way to get two pics to communicate to each other? That's like asking "What's the best car to get". It depends on what you are trying to do. For on-board communications between PICs, I prefer IIC. It has more of the protocol in hardware than SPI, and I usually need the UART for something else. However, IIC has its own set of limitations and restrictions, and even outright bugs in the Microchip implementation. ******************************************************************** Olin Lathrop, embedded systems consultant in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, olin@embedinc.com, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
