Strings in spin with dec values

nomad

hi
i have a questions
i am working with the PPDB and the RS232-connection to a linux-box
the questions is:
>>
on the BS2-BOE it's possible to send a String (for the Linux Box)
as:
DEBUG "$",DEC3 angle,":",DEC schalt1,":",DEC schalt2,":",DEC pirF_1,":",DEC irB_1,":",CR

is this with the propeller and in spin possible????

>> Serial.str(String("$") Serial.dec(angle) Serial.str(String(":") Serial.dec(schalt1)
Serial.str(String(":") Serial.dec(schalt2) Serial.str(String(":")
Serial.dec(pirF_1) Serial.str(String(":") Serial.dec(irB_1) Serial.str(String(":")
Serial.SetDelimiter(13)

PUB dec(value)
'' See FullDuplex Serial Documentation
'' Serial.dec(1234) ' send decimal value as chracters
ExtSerial.dec(value)

thanks for hints and tips.
regards
nomad

Yes, you use Serial.dec(1234) as you've shown. Remember that you need matching parentheses like Serial.str(String("$"))

You do need to have OBJ Serial : "FullDuplexSerial" declared in your program

One thing I've never been able to figure out is why every output object has to provide its own dec and hex methods, when Jeff's Numbers and Chip's Simple Numbers objects perform these conversions so elegantly. It would seem that the only output methods necessary for any such communications object would be out (single-character) and str (string).
