HELP!! how to get data from RXD of PIC16F877? (RS 232)

[cxiong]

I try to experiment on the wireless Technology and use the XMIT & RCV channel of the PIC above.

I know that when you printf(" .......",x) is to send the serial data to the TX line or to the PC, but I want to read the data of the RVC line of my wireless receiver module and display the data in portc.

The data from the transmitter was a temperatue sensor attached to ADC (10-bits)channel0 of a PIC16F877. The transmitter get the sensor data and transmit it to the TX line. The TX line was connected to a wireless transmitter module.

What code should I use to get the sensor data?

Any body got an example code in PIC C?

Please help.

Are you asking how to get a byte that has been received by the USART ?

The answer is, use the getc() function. Example:

main()
{
char c;

c = getc();


while(1);
}

i was going through the search looking for help on cummunicating wireless between to pics,


from the above it lloks like all i need to do is connect the transmitter to c6 the tx pin, and printf(",,,,",x) whatever i need.

then to recieve i just connect the rx to c7 the recieve pin and use a getc command,

is it this easy, i doubt it.

I wouldn't draw a lot of conclusions from my answer to him.

He didn't give all the details necessary for a complete
answer, to I just gave him the most simple answer possible.

remember also that if you don't use a RS232 level converter,..ie max232 then you need to INVERT the signal.
