How to pass the received characters from RCREG to an array?

[edwardelric]

Hello good evening!

Is there a way on how can I do this?

I want to read the incoming characters from RCREG (my PIC is 16F628A) and then I will place them in an array where they will be stored temporarily.

This is a part of my project wherein the characters that will be received will be displayed by LED matrix using a decoder like MAX6952.

Thanks. Any suggestions or snippets of code will be highly appreciated.

Look at ex_SISR.c

Shows how to receive characters, and buffer them in an array. Slightly more sophisticated than a simple array, it handles the array as a 'circular' buffer.

Best Wishes

As an additional question, actually a newbie question, what do you mean by a circular buffer?

Thanks a lot.
