[SuB-ZeRo]

hi everybody i am trying to get numbers from PC in my circuit i have 1 slave 1 master and a MAX232 i can communicate pic to pic well there is no problem i can sent numbers to pc it is well too but when i am trying to get numbers from PC i have problem. i Try these

test var byte
TEST =0

loop:
hserin [test]
if test=4 then goto msj
if test=5 then goto msj2
msj:
hserout ["msj alındı",13,10]
goto loop
msj2:
hserout ["tamamdır",13,10]
goto loop
end

in here i try everything but when i sent the msj from pc i allways get "msj alındı" it means i cant use comparision.I know i can sent number from pc coz i try this code too.

test var byte
TEST =0

loop:
hserin [test]
hserout [#test,13,10]
goto loop
end

it send me back what i sent that means no circuit problem i have programming problem can anybody show me my problem and solition.?

SubZero,

please do some searching on the Forum.

there are tons of examples like: http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...78&postcount=1

were you born ignorant or is it something you've learnt over time.

The image not only breaks all the rules of any forum, but is also extremely offensive and should be removed as soon as possible.

Hi, Bot

Sooooo ... how would you tell someones their lazy student questions are more than boring ...???

mmmmmmhhh , I open wide my little laughy brown eyes, and don't tell me they are blue, at this time !!!

SubZero...

Try this... and then I want you to send a number 4 from your PC's keyboard... and then I want you to send an UPPERCASE 'A'... and see what happens... (try it also with a lowercase 'a')...

	test var byte

loop:
	hserin [test]
	if test=52 then 
		HSEROUT ["I've struck Gold",13,10]
		else
		If test=65 then
			HSEROUT ["Hey it's really working",13,10]
			else
			HSEROUT ["No Cigar",13,10]
			endif
		endif
	goto Loop
	end

And now your homework (and please, NOBODY, but NOBODY give the answer here!)... I want you to find out WHY when you send a "4" from your PC's keyboard, we look for a 52 here in the PIC program. And when you send an Uppercase A we look for a 65 (and that is the BIGGEST clue you're going to get!). Question 1. What is the relationship? Question 2. What number would you need to detect, if we wanted to capture the lowercase 'a' instead of the UPPERCASE 'A'? By answering those two questions you will have learnt the answer to your original problem (as well as looking at your logical program flow to the flaws in your original program).

Well, I don't think he's lazy. Sure, he could of done some searching to find his answer, but I know how frustrating it can be to try to find something and no matter how you search, you just come up blank. I think Melanie is on the right track here. Give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, show a man how to fish, he'll eat the rest of his life.... or something like that. Honestly... we have got to have better responses than RTFM!

I do have to agree with the others... in that over the last weeks the questions from many newbies are the kind that are answered in the opening pages of the manuals. There's been some real classics this week (why can't I make my Hindustan Tourer go as fast as G8RPI's rocket)... I've had to take a real deep intake of breath and IGNORE them (depite the fact they even PM or EMAIL me as well!). I've been sorely tempted to reply that you've joined the wrong class... Landscape Gardening 101 is down the hall on the right...

The REAL question that needs to be addressed is... how do you get folks to READ the manual, the README files, the DATASHEET, the HELP files (if there are any - and you know what I'm referring to here), search this list, search the email archives on the manufactuers site, all the myriad of documentation that you and I use every day? A lot of folks on this list (and I'm sure on the other) won't. They're too lazy. They can't be bothered to make the slightest effort (and it's plainly obvious from some questions posted), and it's easier to have someone else do their homework for them.

I think, some patience, and when these silly questions appear, those that have the inclination should simply post a reference to the Page or Section Number in the manual where the answer is to be found. This forces them to look for it and digest what they're reading. Garbo Technician 101 still has vacancies...
