Hi Everyone, I posted this message before but my Email setting was set to NOMAIL for some unknown reasons. So I didn't get a reply from any of you. This was the message I posted before: I am stuck and I need your help! I have 2 PIC16F877 Micros. They are communicating with each other through SPI (One master and one slave). The Master sends 2 bytes of data to the Slave - one is the "command" byte and one is the "data" byte. The Master IC always sends out the "command" byte first follows by a "data" byte. The Slave IC gets interrupted every time the SPI reception is completed. Here is my question: How do I write the code so that the Slave knows which byte is the "command" byte and which byte is a "data" byte? Thank you in advance.
