Avoid HSEROUT command?

[pxidr84]

Hi,
As long as the HSEROUT statement itself isn't IN an interrupt routine I don't see HOW it can disturb any interrups (as long as you're not using ON INTERRUPT of course but I suspect you're NOT).

But to answer your question, if you can put all your variables after each other, ie in an array, then a simple FOR-LOOP will do but really, I don't see it being any better than HSEROUT but man have I been wrong before :-)

Hi Henrik,

I use the DT instant interrupts, i've one main loop, one high-speed high priority interrupt (running at 13kHz and doing some calculations) and one low-priority interrupt (running at 100Hz).

The HSEROUT command is in the main loop.

But still, when it sends data at a high rate, the low-priority interrupt is disturbed. I'm running at 2400bps.

You’re not taking advantage of hardware serial at all unless you send a byte at a time.
Otherwise it’s blocking just like software serial. A for next loop sending hardware serial will also block just the same.

atoj var byte[8]
index var byte
serbuff var byte
to send continuously:

mainloop:

‘ your program

if index > 7 then
index = 0’
endif

if index < 8 then
serbuff = atoj[index]
hserout[serbuff]
index = index + 1
endif

goto mainloop

Don’t write into the buffer while index is less than 8.
