Hi,
I have a serial pic programmer. It uses data and clock lines to program the device @ 5V.
I need to connect my programmer at a distance of 3 metres ( 10 ft ) from the device to be programmed.
I am expecting loads of noise etc at that distance so i want to buffer the lines using rs232 buffers. This will fix the noise issue.
Problem is, rs232 convertors pass data in one direction only. How can i buffer the data line? It is used for both reading data from the PIC and writing data to the PIC and i dont have any indication which way the data is travelling during programming.
