I'm designing a system that monitors an area for people carrying tags, and then tailors the area for them based on their preferences. I'm using Visual basic 6 for the user/pc interface. Being new to the joys of microcontrollers i'm slightly baffled by the USART module of the PIC 16f627 that I'm using though.
From what i've read, i've opted for the 8N1 asynchronous format. I'll have three pieces of information to send (user, area, and device) although these could just be ascii characters. what format should the data to be sent take? :roll:
Any help would be fantastic, or if anybody knows of some decent (there's a lot of rubbish out there) online tutorials I'd be most grateful.
