I have a PIC i want to connect to a RF transceiver. The data input and output of the transceiver is on a single pin. Is it possible to connect two different ports of the PIC to a single pin on the transceiver? or is this incorrect?
 
Looking at the data sheet, you would connect 1 pin to the data line and another pin to the T/R line. To receive you would set the data pin to input and the R/W pin Low. To transmit, set the R/W line high before setting the data pin to output.

another quick question is there a quick way to clear all of the General Purpose Registers or must it be programmed into the PIC?
 
If you want to clear them, you need to do it in the programme - generally though I've never found any reason to want to do this? - any GPR's which are read before they are written I preload with the required value (which most probably isn't zero). Any which are written before they are read don't need clearing anyway.
