Hserin

When using HSERIN, this code seems to receive the data okay but I can only get numbers to work when using if..then statements. I know I am just overlooking something so any help would be great.

This works.....

HSERIN [Inc]
	HSEROUT ["Tx Received", 10]
	if inc = 1 then goto here
	if inc = 2 then goto there

This is what I would like to do.....

HSERIN [Inc]
	HSEROUT ["Tx Received", 10]
	if inc = "something" then goto here
	if inc = "somethingelse" then goto there

The code below should work.

HSERIN [Inc]
	HSEROUT ["Tx Received", 10]
	if inc = "something" then goto here
        else
       goto there
       endif

I tired that, it gets bad expression errors on the if inc = "something" line.

"something" must be replaced with an ascii character or its decimal equivalent.

For instance:

HSERIN [Inc]
	HSEROUT ["Tx Received", 10]
	if inc = "S" then goto here
        else
        goto there
        endif

If you Tx the letter "S" then your progam will jump to label "here" and execute the code in it, else it will jump to the label "there" and execute a different code. (if you make it different)

You have to fix which ascii character you will send to go to label "here" since any other ascii character will take to label "there"

When I use single letters or numbers it works like a charm but I would like to use longer strings such as "A23". Anything longer then one character and I get errors. Is this a limitation of picbasic?

Hi,

I think the answer simply is in your Manual ... HSerin Modifiers section.
