Spehro, I already have system setup which uses pic and max232. Now however, I want to use rs485 instead of 232. So I am quirous, can I dump the max232 and use max485/487 and get away with not chaning the code (tested and bullet broof, so I do not want to change it) but maybe make small changes to the schematic. Any ideas? -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline? Don't AutoReply us! email listserv@mitvma.mit.edu with SET PICList DIGEST in the body
