Serial help

[HenrikOlsson]

Hi,
Never used one of those and I don't quite understand what "nothing happens" actually means. Are you saying that you have data on the screen but when executing the Clear Screen command the screen does not clear?

Anyway, the PBP equivalent of the following Arduino code

Serial.write(0x76);  // Clear display command, resets cursor
Serial.write(0x01);  // Hex value for 1, will display '1'
Serial.write('2');   // ASCII value for '2', will display '2'
Serial.write(0x0A);  // Hex value for 10, will display 'A'
Serial.write('B');   // ASCII value for 'B', will display 'b'

would be something like:

SEROUT2 PortB.3, 84, [$76]  'Clear the display
SEROUT2 PortB.3, 84, [$01, "2", $0A, "B"]   ' Display 12AB

What if you try:

For i = 0 to 1000
SEROUT2 PortB.3, 84, [$76, DEC4 i]
PAUSE 1000
NEXT

/Henrik.

Thanks Henrik. I looked over what I wrote, and I was tired at the time. Yes, what I meant was that clear screen did not work, but if I sent decimal numbers, they showed up in the display. I am at work and will try your suggestions tonight.

Thanks
Andy

Thank you so much Henrik. Your knowledge has once again saved me and I understand it now.

Works great!
