PIC16F87X
Steps to follow when setting up an Asynchronous
Reception:
6. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is com-
plete and an interrupt will be generated if enable
bit RCIE is set.
1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate
baud rate. If a high speed baud rate is desired,
set bit BRGH. (Section 10.1).
7. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
2. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN.
8. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
3. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit
RCIE.
9. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit CREN.
4. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set bit RX9.
5. Enable the reception by setting bit CREN.
