Hi Everyone.

I've just wrapped up App Note AN-8 Implementing a Quad 1200 baud
Full-Duplex Software UART with Salvo. It's now available on our
website.

This was a pretty interesting endeavor, as it illustrates how to use
Salvo's tasks, task priorities and event services to do bit-banged
serial comms on a PIC16F877, and still have plenty of processing
power left over to do other things. AN-8 contains all the source
code, etc. to give a detailed explanation of how it was implemented
and why it works.

The code for AN-8 will be included in the next release of all v2.3.0
Salvo PIC distributions, expected in about 1 month.

With Salvo Lite (the freeware version of our RTOS) this application
works with up to four transmitters and two receivers. So if you have
a need for something like this, you may want to consider trying AN-8
with Salvo Lite v2.3 when it becomes available.

Enjoy!
