Parallax serial Terminal

karakiko

Hello Forum , i start with the easiet code to blink a LED 16 on the demo board, please could you guide me how i can send a command from the parallax serial terminal to run this·function and to make the LED·ON ? For example is it possible to write "led 16 On"·in the terminal to make the LED 16·high ?

Thank you·and have a nice day,
Kara

You can use the include fullduplexserial.spin object for this...

Add an "obj" section to your code and specify the object like this:

OBJ
 
ser: "fullduplexserial"

Then, start it up at 9600 baud in your main routine:

ser.start(31,30,0,9600)

Then, a simple loop can check for certain keys.· You can use "n" for on and "f" for off...

repeat
  i:=ser.rxcheck
  if i=="n"
    'Turn LED on here
  if i=="f"
    'Turn LED off here

I believe there is also an object with example code called the Parallax Serial Terminal which should be in the Prop Tool library. I want to say there is a free downloadable lab that has some examples of how to use the Parallax Serial terminal object too.
