You might want to take a look at some of the standard protocols that the
modern PICs supply: SPI and I2C. It shouldn't be difficult to find an
eample for Dallas 1-Wire either.

I tend to prefer SPI, but that could be purely personal prejudice because
it's what was supported by my peripherals when I got into the PIC...
