Post by thread:RS-232 implementation

Hello all. I signed up for this list just yesterday and I am amazed by how many people out there are willing to lend a hand... I'm looking for information on RS-232 communications...most specifically, C code for use with the USART...further to that, I was wondering if an RS-232 implementation can be done using the regular I/O pins..comments? I'm using the 16C774 (later I'll get the flash version to save time) I'd very much prefer C code as I dislike assembly...that may send shivers up some of your spines but its a personal preference :) Any and all info would be welcome though...

Kiley, You might want to check out Forest Electronics Development. http://www.lakewood.win-uk.net/fed.htm they offer a PIC C compiler with a few libraries, one of which generates RS232 on assignable pins. Several other compilers also offer libraries for this, such as Hi-Tech C (more money) and ByteCraft (even more money).

Hi Kiley, I posted few days ago such routines in a MIDI subject. Check the real time list :-) JSouto Kiley Dominie wrote: {Quote hidden}> Hello all. > I signed up for this list just yesterday and I am amazed by how many > people out there are willing to lend a hand... > > I'm looking for information on RS-232 communications...most specifically, > C code for use with the USART...further to that, I was wondering if an > RS-232 implementation can be done using the regular I/O pins..comments? > I'm using the 16C774 (later I'll get the flash version to save time) > > I'd very much prefer C code as I dislike assembly...that may send shivers > up some of your spines but its a personal preference :) > > Any and all info would be welcome though... > > Regards, > > Kiley Dominie > Senior Electrical Engineering Student > Memorial University of Newfoundland
