Weird problem with Debugin

You beat me to it Henrik.

Thanks. That makes some sense now. I tried experimenting more with it and realized that ASCII is not the format (blame the Chinese).
Has anyone used this: http://www.serialmon.com as a serial port sniffer?

Also Debug and Debugin both work as mode 0. At that time I was only checking Debugin so left debug as mode 1 (please ignore it in the code above)

The character is coming in some UTF8 format! Does someone knows how to handle this type?

Ok, here is the update. The serialMon pic is attached. The first HEX code is when I receive a '4' and the second is when I receive 'a'.
I tried modifying the code and a few versions of it actually, but nothing worked. How do I capture the value coming as in the pic attached.

My attempts were:
1) b0...b4 var byte
Debugin [B0,skip 1,B1,skip 1,b2,skip 1,b3,skip 1,b4]
DIDN'T worked

2) B0,B1 Var word : B2 var byte
Debugin [B0,B1,B2]
DIDN'T worked

Any further pointers please?

Hi,
34 is the ASCII code (in HEX) for '4' and 61 is the ASCII code (in HEX) for 'a' so the actual data you want to capture is the fifth byte in the received packet. How about

DEBUGIN[WAIT (1), B0]    ' Wait for the 01 part of the string then grab the next byte

or

DEBUGIN[SKIP 4, B0]    ' Skip the first four bytes, grab the fifth.

/Henrik.

EDIT: Or, if it's actually the 01 part you want to capture (and it's NOT the ASCII code for the digit 1 by the way) then perhaps DEBUGIN[SKIP 3, B0]

JOB DONE! Cheers for the help
