USBDemo, something to learn USB a little bit

[mister_e]

So, if mister_e gets a call in the middle of the night from a screamin' female who he doesn't know, this thread is most definetly the reason why.

No problem then, my phone number is not hidden anyway... But, LOL, maybe she will have to repeat few times and be patient when i will try to reply to her... yeah my english writing is bad... imagine how bad i talk

Hi Steve,

I'm revisting USB again and using parts of the demo as a bit of a refresher

Im writing a program where I want to send half a dozen NMEA strings (of varrying string length) which are stored in their own array, to the pc running hyperterminal.

I can send them successfully via USB using 6 separate DoUSBOut subroutines (without the SendUSB macro array code) but I want to trim my code down and use one (1) DoUSBOut routine to do the lot.

->>> I kinda have it working but the received data into hyperterminal appear as though some strings aren't received or are being over written or something.

I've modified the SendUSB macro array so that the USBBufferOut should just keep filling up according to my USBBufferCount (array size) and suspect this is the problem but I'm rusty on ASM. Perhaps the USBBufferOut needs to be "erased" after each visit to DoUSBOut? How would I do that?

I'm going blind looking at this code and wonder if you could see any traps I may have fallen into...

USBBufferCount     Var Byte        '
USBBufferOut        Var Byte[50]  ' store outgoing USB data ...... this value originally [8]

GPZDA VAR BYTE[28]
GPGLL VAR BYTE[41]
GPGGA VAR BYTE[49]
GPVTG VAR BYTE[27]

'...... arrays get filled up here.........
'...... other code........

asm 
SendUSB macro array
    ;   Use to Copy an specific array to USBBufferOut AND send it
    ;   to USB bus
    variable i=0
    
    ;while i<8                           ' ...............original line here........
    
    while i<_USBBufferCount
        MOVE?BB (array+i),(_USBBufferOut+i)
i+=1
    endw
    
    L?CALL _DoUSBOut
    endm
endasm


USBBufferCount = 28
@   SendUSB _GPZDA
 
USBBufferCount = 41
@   SendUSB _GPGLL
           
USBBufferCount = 49
@   SendUSB _GPGGA

USBBufferCount = 27
@   SendUSB _GPVTG 


DoUSBOut:
    '
    '   Send data to the USB bus & Wait for USB interface to attach                         
    '   ===========================================================
    T1CON.0 = 0                                     ' TURN OFF TIMER 
    
    WaitPC:                                         '
      USBService                                      ' keep connection alive
      USBOut 3, USBBufferOut, USBBufferCount, Waitpc  ' if bus available, transmit data                                  
    
    T1CON.0 = 1                                     ' Re-Enable TMR0 interrupt  
    return

Hi.. i can´t find EasyHid at mecanique webpage, is it gone? how do you get it now? did it became part of some package?

Thanks
