timeout of Hserin, goto, gosub or both?

[aratti]

Difficult to give suggestions without knowing what you have in mind to achieve. The below is a simple way to get out of the While/Wend loop.

StrLIst    var byte[10] ' for example not knowing the true dimension
gotchar   var byte


BUfferChar:
gotchar=0
return_code=0
low HIGH RED_LED
While return_code<>13 or gotchar >9
  Hserin 50, NoData, [return_code]
  StrLIst[gotchar]=return_code
  gotchar=gotchar+1   
  WEND
RETURN


Nodata:
HIGH RED_LED   ; Show Error led (use the high state of this pin to workout   the timeout in the main routine)
Return
