Serin

[Andre_Pretorius]

Hi there
i am trying to use serin to read a array of data from a UPS, at this stage i have used all the other serial ports, can someone give me a hint if there is a easer way instead of typing in the whole array , i have tried {str array/size} but get compile errors also my timeout does not want to work
Ann help would be appreciated

Well, if you tried {str array/size}, then you may need to consult your manual...
Try [ str array\size ] instead.

As far as the array goes, a simple loop will do

t var byte
for t = start (0 whatever) to finish (100 whatever)
debug [ ups(t) ]
next t

For those who are interested in the code i ended up using, mabe it helps someone out there, i used the 16F877 micro

can anyone give me some isea as to why if i use the below mentioned code and i send {(227.9 218.2 221.0 031 50.1 2.29 25.0 00000001} in on debugin i get {ÀxÀ€€€€€€€€€€xÀ< €ð€€€€xþ€À€€xÀ€€€ð€€} out on debug

Found the problem debug in and out must have the same baud rate, helps to read the manual i gues
