Question about repeat while/until ...

[Laurent R]

Hi everybody

I have a problem with a serial communication.


First I through that it don't need anything else than x:= serial.RxHex but when try, it looks like the prop don't wait.

So i I try to use this code to wait a serial command before doing a task but now nothing happens when I send the command.





repeat while x==0
x := serial.RxHex





So if somebody has a idea?

Thanks

'' returns -1 if no byte received, $00..$FF if byte

You could try

x := 0

repeat while x==0
x := serial.RxHex

If the var is already designated as zero it might help in case it is reading a command already written somewhere else in the program.

Put the condition at the end of the loop, and you won't have that problem:




repeat
x := serial.RxHex
while x == 0




Or make the method call part of the conditional:




repeat while (x := serial.RXHex) == 0
