In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, Jon Williams wrote: You seem not to have grasp on serial communications. While I don't think it covers bit-banging the parallel port, Jan Axelson's book "Serial Port Complete" will fill you in on all the details of serial communications between microcontrollers. Also, our SX books by Guenther Daubach and Al Williams cover serial comms (from the SX) side and explain how it all works. The quick answer is that both sides have to agree on the baud rate, and the start bit signals the receiver to start sampling the serial line (at the baud rate) for serial bits. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=91720#m91752 Need assistance?
