I am using Flow Control (RS232) in Proton to Communicate between 2 PIC's one is a 18F4620 and the other is a 16F887. I am using the Serin/Serout Commands set at 8 Bit No Parity True (Asynchronous) and this is working perfectly all the time.
I am only using the UART for the Boot loader using a separate Max 232 chip to communicate to either PIC when needed to download updated data to either PIC (by simply moving the TX & RX wires to to correct PIC). I know that it works because if I change the PIC18F4620 device to a 16F887 in the same application then my boot loader works on it, therefore I will have two 16F887 in the same circuit talking to each other.
