sending uart and multiplexing 7-segments

[florisvd]

Hello everybody,

I'm making a scoreboard with uart and 7-segment multiplexing and I've got a problem.
When I receive code from the UART, multiplexing doesn't work any more.
And when I'm multiplexing with timer1, the UART_receive doesn't work any more.

Please look at my code below and help me.

Best regards,
Floris

Your code doesn't try to send anything.

Most UARTs also produce an interrupt, normally on data received, on error and possibly on ready to send data.

It is common (and therefore I assume I good approach) to handle data receive using the UARTs interrupt and it is often a requirement to handle the error states of the UART which is also most easily done using the interrupt. Send can either be polled or interrupt driven, polled works well if you want to be sure the data has been sent before your program continues while interrupt driven works if you want to just fire and forget i.e. you don't need to know when the data has been written.
