Hi,

I'm using the sofware UART lib.. but the problem is that if there is no characatere to be received, it still waiting in the function...

char i, error, byte_read;                 // Auxiliary variables

void main(){

  ADCON1=7;
  TRISB = 0x00;                           // Set PORTB as output (error signalization)
  PORTB = 0;                              // No error
  TRISC=0;
  PORTC=0;
  error = Soft_UART_Init(&PORTC, 7, 6, 9600, 0); // Initialize Soft UART at 14400 bps
  Soft_UART_Write('s');
  while(1) {                              // Endless loop
    byte_read = Soft_UART_Read(&error);   // Read byte, then test error flag  waiting in thise function
      Soft_UART_Write(byte_read);         // If error was not detected, return byte read
      if(byte_read=='0')PORTB = 0;
      if(byte_read=='1')PORTB = 1;
      if(byte_read=='2')PORTB = 2;
      PORTC=~PORTC;
    }
}

hello

 error = Soft_UART_Init(&PORTC, 7, 6, 9600, 0); // Initialize Soft UART at 14400 bps
.......
........
      PORTC=~PORTC;

You can not modify PORTC like this, because use of UART !!!
you can modify only unsued bits of PORTC..

Wich MCU used ?
What is your C language ?
