HSERIN vs Serin2

[Rob]

Thanks for the replies.

I have tried the HSERIN with both square brackets and parentheses but neither way works unfortunately. It seems very strange to me that the HSERIN will not work with the data I am trying to receive (I have used it a fair few times in the past with no problems). It seems to be set up the same way as the SERIN2 i.e. 9600 baud, no parity bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and the SERIN2 is receiving in True form.

Any other pointers please?

Cheers

Rob

P.S. I am using the round brackets because of post #2 here by Darrel:

Hmmmm,

some more testing shows that:

hserin [wait ($FD)]

allows the program to continue whereas

hserin [wait ($FD), dec databyte(0)]

does not.

However, if I put my original string in but with the DEC modifier removed, the code works fine:

hserin [wait ($FD), databyte(0), databyte(1), databyte(2), databyte(3), databyte(4), databyte(5)]

I have also tried the HEX modifier but again this prevents the code from progressing. Very strange

Rob-

I think that you have to specify the no of decimal digits to be output ie

DEC 3 Databyte(0) will print databyte(0) with 3 decimal digits and leading zeroes

Not only that, but I think the DEC modifier kicks out the value (i.e. dies a horrible death ) if a non DEC capable value tries to get passed to the variable.
