Getting Parallax PLX-DAQ to work with HSEROUT

[dbachman]

Maybe they really mean CR ??

so like this huh?

HSEROUT ["hello",cr]

Hmmmm..... Maybe

SMD?? I think I have one of those in the garage......

I'll go get it and try it....be right back

HSEROUT ["hello",cr]

I don't think hello is a directive.

PLX-DAQ Directives
PLX-DAQ analyzes incoming data strings from the controller for action. Strings begin with a directive informing PLX-DAQ of what action to take.

• All directives are in CAPITAL letters, and some are followed by comma-separated data. Each string MUST end in a carriage return (CR).
• Strings not beginning with directives will be ignored.
• Note that the BASIC Stamp's DEBUG instruction is used in the following discussion.

Maybe something like:
HSEROUT ["DATA,","1,","2,","3",13]

or:
HSEROUT ["DATA,",DEC x,",",DEC y,",",DEC z,13]

Those will show in different columns. If you want more rows, then more like their basic stamp example.

Did the basic stamp send in True or Inverted mode?

Good point Dave,

The Basic Stamp sends it out as true, but it is done on the BS2 programming port, which has a max232 equivalent, so it can be read from the computer side. Since Don said he could read it in hyperterminal, I assume he is using a max232 device. I also assume he meant he tested hyperterminal with hserout. So maybe it is just in the wrong format.

From another page in the help file:

• Strings not beginning with directives will be ignored.

So maybe this is the hang up?

It would be great to see a solution, and write up in the Wiki area (Hint, Hint).

FYI

I got it working ok except I haven't been able to send back to the PIC yet.

Thanks Walter....

HSEROUT ["LABEL",",","Don's",",","Test",13]
PAUSE 10
Loop:
FOR x = 1 to 5
HSEROUT ["DATA",",","Hello",",","World",",","Goodbye",13]
PAUSE 5000
NEXT x
PAUSE 10000
HSEROUT ["CLEARDATA",13]
GOTO Loop
