"WAIT" modifier with multiple choices - how to?

[flotulopex]

Hi There,

I'm wondering if it is possible to "WAIT" for more than only one condition at the time in DEBUGIN/SERIN2.

I usually write something like this:

START:
DEBUGIN 1000,START,[WAIT("first")]
....

I'd like to wait for more than the word "first" but also for "second" and "third".

But how?

Yes you can. But maybe you can give an example of what you want?

My circuit has a serial data receiver; it "waits" for three different sets of characters (= commands) to perform different actions, one at the time.

If "READ" is received, it will do this; if "WRITE" is received, it will do that and so for the third command, "COPY".

Voilà how I imagine it should be working (this is obviously not the actual code, just the idea of what it should be doing):

START:
DEBUGIN 1000,START,[WAIT("READ" OR "WRITE" OR "COPY")]
IF "READ" DO...
IF "WRITE" DO...
IF "COPY" DO...
....

I need to "wait" for either incoming command but there's where I'm stuck in the DEBUGIN/SERIN2 timeout loop.

Due to my lack of knowledge, I have to make my circuit currently doing only one thing...frustrating

My approach would be to just receive whatever comes in, then parse it later.

+ 1

though life would be easier if
"READ" became "*READ/n" ditto for the others {/n=chr 13

buff var byte[5]
DEBUGIN 1000,START,[WAIT("*" str buff\5\13]
then see what you got

Great! I'll give it a try.

Thanks a lot
