Howdy, I've got a 16F628 controlling some lights, receiving brightness values via MIDI. For complicated reasons, I'd like to have another 16F628 send the brightness control data sometimes. Since I have the MIDI receive code already debugged and working, is there any reason I can't simply connect the USART TX pin of one PIC to the RX pin of the other and send 3 byte messages "pretending" to be MIDI? -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
