Help with STR ArrayVar\n\c with SerIn2

[leinske]

Hello evrybody, i would compile this line of code:

SerIn2 GPSin,baudGPS,Timeout,GPS,[wait("$ECBWC"),wait(","),wait(","),DEC2 latdeg,DEC2 latmin,wait(","),NS,wait(","),DEC3 londeg,DEC2 lonmin,wait(","),EO,wait(","),truecourse,wait(",") ,wait(","),magcourse,wait(","),wait(","),dist,wait ("."),DEC2 distten,skip 3,wpid,skip 1,STR wp\2]

when compiling with PBpro 2.43 I got this compile error :

ERROR: Macro SERIN2STR?WL not found in macro file.

can anybody help me with this error code ???? or post me this macro ?????

thanks very much

Hi leinske,

You aren't missing any macros. It's just that STR can't work with WORD variables. It only works with array's.

I believe you have "wp" defined as a WORD.

Thanks Darrel for the rapid answer, indeed my variable wp was a WORD array, sorry i had misreading the manual they says explicitly that the arrays must be a BYTE , change made to BYTE and compiling OK

Having the same dort of problems here too with STR and serin2

my line of code is:

SERIN2 PORTB.1, 188, 3000, RXERROR, [WAIT ("GPRMC"), skip 1, STR TIME\11\",", STR WARN\1, skip 1, STR LAT\10\",", STR NS\1, skip1, STR LONG\11\",", STR EW\1, skip 1, STR SPD\6\",", STR DIR\6\",", STR DATE\6]

I have all the variables used set as:

LAT VAR BYTE (10)

and so on (with some being (1) or other values, nothing being used is defined as a word, the error message I keep getting is:

*** Must be a BYTE ARRAY variable for STR! ***

any help would be great

The only thing I see wrong is the skip1 in-between NS and LONG. Should have a space in there. But that won't cause the described error.

It does compile without error if I create all the variables and fix the skip.

TIME  var BYTE[11]
WARN  var BYTE
LAT   var BYTE[10]
NS    var BYTE
LONG  var BYTE[11]
EW    var BYTE
SPD   var BYTE[6]
DIR   var BYTE[6]
DATE  var BYTE[6]

SERIN2 PORTB.1, 188, 3000, RXERROR, [WAIT ("GPRMC"), skip 1, STR TIME\11\",", STR WARN\1, skip 1, STR LAT\10\",", STR NS\1, skip 1, STR LONG\11\",", STR EW\1, skip 1, STR SPD\6\",", STR DIR\6\",", STR DATE\6]

RXERROR:

Change skip1 to skip 1.

Ok thanks, I fixed the skip 1 bit and recompiled, still no luck, still getting the same error on both lines that contain the STR command (there is another one just after this to save some more stuff).
