Hi,
im quite the newbie when it comes to setting up electronics circuits, but we all gotta start somewhere. I have been succesfully setting up a pic16f628 with rs232 control with a serial port on my pc. I can manage all that, and it works fine. Right now, im wondering how one would start creating the following :
I would like to have a "master" pic and several "slaves". As i read this should be perfectly possible but i dont have a clue on how to begin, or how to set this up. After burning my 3th pic this week, i wisely decided to stop and ask for advise first. The slave pics should have some sort of id code, so i can write software that will recognise the id. I can than select that certain pic and send/receive data from it. When done, i can select another pic id, and send some other data to it. As i go along searching on the internet, it appeared that useing RS485 for this system would be the best choice. I would very kindly ask for a helping hand in here. I'll post my current scheme, if anyone could take a look at it, and help me get it to work, ill be thankfull forever.
kind regards,
Ariff
