Vinculum VNC1L Vdrive2 module problems

[mackrackit]

Again, with out seeing your code it makes it difficult to find the problem.

Here is a couple of things to look for ( I have not used the short set, and I do not have time to set one up at the moment).

SEROUT2 VinRXD,8588,["OPR ",X1,".DAT",13]

The above is ECS format to open a file with the *.DAT extension. X1 is a variable from an array with different file names.

I would guess the same code in SCS format would look like

SEROUT2 VinRXD,8588,[0E,20,X1,".DAT",0D]

One of the confusing things from the data sheet. The DS says "." is a space. Using ECS the "." is "," as in my above code. So I am not sure if there is a comma between 0E and 20 or just a space.

Another thing, are you using ASCll or binary values?

If you can get it to work in ECS, why do you want SCS?

I'm using Ascii values in ECS mode (it's working, as I said) and I'm have to use Binary values to set from ECS mode in SCS mode, and then I have to send commands in SCS mode. I can't post the code because the project is too big (C/C++ project-I'm working with an Embedded 386SX CPU ISA Half Size SBC Series).I was thinking that someone has encountered a bug about SCS mode...

Good luck, I can not help with C, most of us here use PIC BASIC. Guess that is why this forum is named MELabs PICBASIC Forums .

I will suggest contacting FTDI, their support is pretty good.

Ok..thanks! (I've write here because it's the only forum where someone writes about Vdrive2)

That is interesting. I thought they were more popular.

I have a project coming up were I will be using a VDIP1. When I get started on it I will give shorts a try (still do not see the advantage) and post what happens here.
