I have an 18X picaxe and wish to emulate some type of serin timeout (available in nex X1/X2 chips I noticed).
Since my 18x is polling inputs, I can't really stop and wait for a serin respnse, which may NEVER occur.
The 18x is used in a remote monitoring/logging environment with only occassional connection to a PC. I wish to use the PC to dump the contents of the i2c memory, without stopping the monitoring for any length of time.
I have tried some combinations of using interupts (setInt), but just can't seem to get it to work looking at the serin pin.
Has anyone any thoughts on providing a serin timeout emulation utilising code?
