weird RS232 problem......

[pinworm21]

Henrick,

That fixed it ! I really appreciate the help.....I have 100+ hours into this programming and was stumped. I like to try and figure things out myself but it was getting frustrating. I have used the software serial commands before and had never used the hardware.


I am using an Entertron Smart Pak PLC http://www.entertron.com/smart-pak.htm


I am actually trying to make a SD card downloader for ladder programs and also a datalogger with the SD card.

I am using a USB/RS232/SD card from olimex https://www.olimex.com/Products/PIC/...t/PIC-USB-STK/


Henrick....once again thank you very much. I work for entertron and if you are ever looking for a PLC to play around with let me know.

Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Great news! May I ask what exactly fixed it, did you switch to HSEROUT/HSERIN?

Reading my own post it doesn't make sense to me as there seems to be something missing. It looks like I had an idea for you to try but never told you what it was... Oh well, it was early in the morning ;-) Anyway, I'm glad it's working for you.

I'll check the Entertron website!
