Vinculum Vdrive2

WRF is reading a long word of 32 bits, starting with MSB first. So if the first 3 bytes are zero, you must read in a zero. You can't take a short cut and just send $15.

Thanks,

I'd not seen that the VDrive2 was looking for a LONG.

This also works

SEROUT2 VRXD, 188,["WRF 24",13]

The above prepares the VDIP for 24 characters. The next command would be something like this

SEROUT2 VRXD, 188,["X",DEC2 HH,DEC2 MM,DEC2 SS,_
    DEC2 ND,DEC2 NM,DEC3 NMD,DEC3 WD,DEC2 WM,DEC3 WMD,13,10]

And the VDIP is not looking for a LONG as in PBP LONG. The VDIP just needs to know how many characters it is expected to write.

Thank you, thats good to know, I'm making too much work out of it.

Thank BrianT. I got started with the VDIP using his code that is posted in the code example section.

The data sheet is very poor or misleading. I would not have gotten very far with the data sheet alone.
