SERIN2 digit parsing

[Darrel Taylor]

Dude!! Move to southern California.

At the Worst, we get maybe 1 or 2 days that might freeze a thin layer of ice on the puddles from the overnight drizzle.

As a kid, I lived for a short time in Cedar Rapids Iowa. I've seen -80 degree wind chill factor. NEVER, I mean NEVER again. I'll jump in a volcano first. Never!

OK, so back to the serin....

Yup, you're reading too much into it. And I should also mention that on page 135 it says...

"BIN, DEC and HEX may be followed by a number. Normally, these modifiers receive as many digits as are in the input. However, if a number follows the modifier, SERIN2 will always receive that number of digits, skipping additional digits as necessary.

Don't take me too seriously here.

So, You have the data...

49 02 01 00 00 00 31

and you've waited for "49 02 01 " (note: includes a space)

That means the first thing that HEX2 sees is "00 ", and since the HEX2 stops after receiving the first 2 digits, the next parameter will start with a space, and another "00". The space will be discarded, and the following 2 digits will be parsed. Continuing the process unabated.

Even if you used the HEX without the 2, it would still work, as the terminating character (space) would be discarded, leaving the next parameter to start with a hex digit, instead of a space. Again proceeding on without error.

So it all boils down to, YES, what you've shown, should work.

So-CAL - What?! And pay silly amounts of cha-ching for practically nothing?
The way I figure it, you can always light something on fire to stay warm. When was the last time a person lit something on fire to stay cool? And I got 1.5acres & 2400sq.ft., 30ft x 80ft garage, 20x50 bldg w/basement that's about to become my PIC-Shop, 'bout a hundred trees, a burn pit (great for keggars), deer, turkeys, eagles, etc. all over the place, I can drive my junker '94 Geo Metro like an idiot (and I do!) all day almost anywhere, neighbors are great, and I don't have to lock my door when I leave if I don't want to...and I don't worry at all about being shot for no reason...all for $80K. I've been to SoCal for a time (Long Beach/LA, ok, haven't been to Northern end, can't judge that)...I'll pass...thank you...please drive thru...

And now back to our regularly scheduled program....

I kinda figured I was reading too much into it, but, you know how it is...just when you think you know how something works, and it ain't workin', it's probably because you didn't know how it really worked in the first place . I guess it goes back to that updated manual thread, adding in a couple more examples and things like that.
We'll find out how well it works when I get the nerve up to hook the OBD up to my truck and chance burning out the ECU.

Aw 'cmon Darrel... Iowa isn't so bad.

I broke down and bought a corn burner this year. Never thought I would be burning corn to heat my house! Ofcourse, as soon as I do, the corn prices start climbing... damn ethanol plants!
