Rfin suggestion

[tarzan]

Suggestion:

rfin [timeout,address],pin, variable, variable, variable, variable, variable, variable, variable, variable

This reminds me of the bad old days when serial in was blocking.
Rfin blocks all commands even interrupts?
Works fine until your transceiver locks up then your are suck without anyway to proceed.
Is there anyway out of this situation?

Note this command is blocking, no other commands will process whilst the rfin command is waiting for RF data to be received.

Is there anyway out of this situation?

Use an NKM2401.

The problem is that the processing within the PICAXE is so critical that it cannot perform checks for timeouts nor interrupts.
