Re: xAP and how to interface to a Pic Micro?

["Gary" <questuk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I will be writing the software using PICBASIC, i can do asm if needed?

Can anyone tell me the timing of the transmitted data, is it anything
like RS232 data?

also what exactly has to be sent out and received for xAP to identify
the PIC?

Just a brief overview so i can see how much coding will be required!

Thanks Gary

PS: I did do search for PIC  but didn't turn up anything? am i doing
something wrong, as im sure there should be some on here?
