bbRXD ( pin )
bbRXD (pin) will receive a single
byte of data that is shifted as an asynchronous serial stream. This
function is similar to SERIN, but has less overhead and only receives a single
byte. The baudrate for the pin should be set before using bbRXD, that is
done using the bbBAUD(pin) function.
RXD will return 0-255 if there was data present. bbRXD will timeout after 0.5 seconds and return -1 (&HFFFFFFFF) if there is no serial stream detected on pin .
These routines are "bit-banged" by the processor, so the processor is consumed during these operations. Interrupts are also disabled during each byte for these operations.
As of version 6.21 the 0.5 second timeout can be changed by SERINtimeout.
Baudrates can be up to 57 Kbaud for all pins.
