  • What is the prop ide library pointer and how do I point it?
  • Also if I decide to write the entire FDSERIAL program out where would put it?
  • Never mind the" FULLDUPLEXSERIAL" compiled . Now I need to set un a print line to check if I receive data

  • I am using the prop tool and I used the archive but I cant find the files anywhere. I have Windows 10.
  • Once you start the prop tool (not propeller IDE) click on file. The dropdown should have as one choice "open from...". Click on that and the next drop down should have "Library" as the first choice. That's where fullduplexserial.spin is located. However, you should not have to do that (unless you want to see how that object is written.) When you compile with the PropTool it looks in its library for objects.

  • Here's where the library is located. (I'm using Windows 7, but the path should be the same for Win 10.)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallax Inc\Propeller Tool v1.3.2\Library

  • Simple.
    Your object is called "fdserial" but you use "serial".

    Add:
    Is your intendation in pub serial after repeat as intended?
    The way it is written the repeat is just an endless do-nothing loop.
  • What it is supposed to do is display the values of the four bytes corresponding to the received buffer of FDSERIAL. I dont really know how to set it up.
  • You've mixed what methods are available with something other than FullDuplexSerial... Your pst.str(...) expects to work like C's printf (it does not). When you specify an object, you need to use the same name for that object throughout your code (serial, pst, ???). You need to be consistent in your use of indention, for ease of reading as well as functionality

    This code compiles as a .spin file for P1 (I assume you want to compile for P1?):

  • Code doesn't work beacause, ser.str( "value1:") should be ser.str(string("value1:"))
  • I tried to use your Pub Serial but i get an error when I compile " expected ')' after v in value of first value.
  • My next question ; is there a component in fdserial that is responsible for sending the data in the buffer to the proper outputs or do I need a extra pub to do that like that in the arduino language.
  • If you make the string corrections it will work. When you start serial it's expecting to communicate with something on the other end. Or if may just sit in hang in that PUB serial, if you add a line that expects to recieve something as in full duplex.
  • Example if I wire two props together, I might use a variable such as Angle:=ser.Getlong in my serial start PUB. This will wait until it can fetch that variable from the other Prop1. Or if I want to send a variable to the other prop I might say ser.Putlong (Pan) that sends the data in Pan to the other prop. If I want to print it, I might say LCD.dec(Pan) to display the value in Pan to my LCD.
  • Would I need 4 such variables to fetch all 4 longs from the buffer and use the pin names as well.
  • If you just send you should be ok, it will just keep sending bits to those pins. But on the recieving end you need to "syn" with the timing with transmitting prop. Or you'll just see random data. Such as sending a ser.Putlong(777) just as a test number. You could make up four of those ser.Putlong(555) etc.. And see if you can read it on the rec. end. If your serial timing is OK you'll see the number. If you see random numbers reset the transmitter or write a handshake timing routine to "syn" the two.
  • You could always offer to pay someone on this forum to write your entire routine, that works without glitches. I'm a little busy with my own projects. Just throwing my 2 cents worth out there.

    Sorry... correct!

  • I just tried this one the Tera Terminal and it works great.
  • Works on Putty too just tried it
  • Just as a test for your serial issues
  • To dgately, what is Tx(13) referring to. It is not listed in the con.
  • Sets your spacing for your strings, So it doesn't scroll
  • Byte size

    carriage return... Just one way to go to a new line (works in most terminal apps, not sure about all terminal apps)

  • I missed the ASCII boat
  • AKA hex 0D/0A. Some terminals need both carriage return and line feed. You may see it elsewhere as CR/LF. On terminals needing CR, if all it gets is LF, terminal will drop a line but keep going from its position on the last line. You will get a sort of barber pole effect if it keeps sending to the terminal. One more thing you must match up with terminal settings.

    I may be wrong, but if you are editing a file (for example the savelog for the terminal session) with vim, the line feed codes show up on each line as ^M.
  • Not totally with you on this issue. the serial out on flip 1 is
    fdserial_txChar(fd, RmotorPin);
    fdserial_txChar(fd, RdirPin);
    fdserial_txChar(fd, DmotorPin);
    fddserial_txChar(fd, DdirPin);
    
    Do I need To change the variable to the matching variable in the 'flip2. Also how do I sync The two flips.
