Dave ...

Do I need the defines on the receiver for debugin ???

[mackrackit]

Yes, you need DEBUGIN and DEBUG defines.

I am giving you this stuff from memory and evidently I have forgotton something. When I get back to the shop tonight I will test it and see what I am missing.

Maybe someone will fill in my blanks

The send code

    DEFINE DEBUG_MODE  1    ' Debug sending INVERTED serial data
    DEFINE DEBUG_REG PORTB  ' Debug Port = PortC
    DEFINE DEBUG_BIT 3      ' Debug.bit = PortC.4
    DEFINE DEBUG_BAUD 2400  ' Default baud rate = 2400

DEBUG "9",DEC 3,$d,$a

The receive code

    DEFINE DEBUGIN_MODE  1    ' Debug sending INVERTED serial data
    DEFINE DEBUGIN_REG PORTB  ' Debug Port = PortC
    DEFINE DEBUGIN_BIT 4      ' Debug.bit = PortC.4
    DEFINE DEBUGIN_BAUD 2400  ' Default baud rate = 2400

DEBUGIN [WAIT("9"),DEC NET]

I just ran this in real life, it works.
Sorry for giving it wrong before.

[Dennis]

IT WORKS !!!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO you ROCK ! :-)

Thank you thank you thank you :-)

By the way that memory of yours was pretty damn close :-)
Seems inverted mode was needed ?

What are the $d and $a for in the line below by the way ?

DEBUG "9",DEC 3,$d,$a

And now for HSERIN and OUT

A few questions first ..

1. With HSERIN and OUT , is it a necessity to use the onboard TX/RX pins , in my case PORTC. and PORTC.7 ?

2. Is it pretty much a case of replacing the debug lines with HSERIN as you said in a n earlier posting ?

Thanks again Dave

Dennis

Hello Dennis,

I don't know if Dave is online now, so I thought I'de jump in and answer your 2 questions real quick...As Dave has helped me immensely on the same serial in out topic...Thanks again Dave!

1) The $d $a is a "Carriage Return - Line Feed" terminator
2) Yep, the hardware ports have to be used for HSERIN/OUT.

Hope I helped and didn't offend you Dave

Enjoying this thread, and learning from it too!
