Post by thread:[PIC]: Drop-in Serial Code?

Hello, I remember reading on the list sometime back someone said they used someones *drop-in serial code* for all their serial projects. They described it as you just change a few things (speed and pin settings etc...) and drop in right in your code probably as an include file. Best I remember it was bit-bang only code. Anyone remember who's code this was and where to find it? I looked in the archives but could find what I remember reading. I'm looking to read a NMEA 0183 data stream from a GPS and pull out current speed. If any has code or tips for this it would also help!

If any has code or tips for this it would also help! You're probably thinking of Fr. McGahee's PICUART code, which is a drop in tutorial that uses the hardware USART. It's a great read, and excellent code to boot. I have a copy on my site: http://www.finitesite.com/d3jsys/picuart.zip BAJ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

It has software FIFOs for transmit and receive.
